Countupdown as Dashboard Widget

June 18th, 2008

Someone found a neat way to utilise my countupdown application as a Web clip widget in OS X’s Dashboard.

Use Make Text smaller (cmd -) in Safari before using Web clip feature to make it smaller.

It is not a good idea to use a big ruler as a support for a roof window.
Notice that the bump is almost perfectly aligned to the center.

Adobe Flash is evil (☠)

April 18th, 2008

Why can not Adobe fix the Flash plugin for Mac OS X!?
Flash is crashing my Safari quite randomly, almost every day. This is so frustrating!

I think I have tried almost everything

  • Re-install
  • Deleting preferences
  • Violence…

Does anyone have a solution to my problem!?
And why does it have to be so slow…

Open Mac

Only one thing to say.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Apple lawyer when I lay my vengeance upon you.
