Alert: Flash Player 10.0.12.36 Installer Opens Up Root Home Folder
I updated the current installation of Adobe Flash Player at work today over ARD and had several people ask me odd questions about why there was a Finder window with the word root for a title when they came in to login this morning. Needless to say that raised warning bells all over the place […]
iPhone Cryptic Error : Invalid Recipient
While I really enjoy my iPhone’s ease of use it does spit some really cryptic errors sometimes. Namely one I’ve kept running into after changing over my domains to the new Shared Accelerators from Joyent which changed my SMTP information. For some reason my new SMTP information just wouldn’t sync to my iPhone correctly - […]

In the quest to sate my curiosity of the viability of ZFS for replacing hardware RAIDs I gathered a few extra USB keys that were lying around my office in hopes to see just how much of a difference in terms of numbers one can find between a single USB key, a software RAIDed set […]
build_hd_index
I came across a process running on my iMac at home tonight that was consuming a fair chunk of RAM, and a consistent 40-50% of my CPU while accessing each and every hard drive I have hooked up. The process in question is called build_hd_index and is part of Apple’s built in Remote Management software […]
iPhone After Two Months
After seeing D’arcy’s post today I felt the motivation to get off my butt and finish my iPhone review / showcase of my increasingly cluttered screens.
