This is a quick update just to say that San Francisco didn’t swallow me (although it’s been a very intense week since I moved here) and that so far I’m happy about how many contacts I’m establishing in the area.
The great news though is that the site redesign is almost complete, and soon all my work will find a better collocation in an on-line portfolio designed ad-hoc!
Stay tuned.
I don’t know why the Mozilla team decided not to show favicons in the bookmark toolbar, but it’s a BAD idea: the toolbar becomes instantly hard to scan and a lot less useful.
Luckily there’s an extension for Firefox called Stylish and a script to install once the extension is active that can take care of the problem.
Enjoy!
This post is more of a “note to self” than anything else. I spent good part of today fighting against my MacBook Pro, trying to install Service Pack 3 for Windows XP (Bootcamp partition).
After a few hours of frustration, I found this link buried in Apple’s support site that contains a workaround.
The meat of the problem is a driver that makes HFS partitions readable in Windows, and the fact that SP3 sees them as the main partition and tries to copy SP’s files from there.
The fix is trivial, just find AppleMNT.sys, rename it to something else, restart the system, install SP3, rename the file back to the original name and the problem is solved.
Thanks Apple, now if you made the kb article a BIT easier to find, that would be awesome.
I have been trying to define my professional profile a little better, and after a few hours of research, I stumbled on this incredibly clever definition of “generalizing specialist“.
