the end is not for a while About that April 13 15 downtimeYeah, we went down for a while. Here’s what my web-host had to say about it.

skylark going offline for hardware upgrade.

skylark going offline for OS reload to be moved to the new platform.

skylark is offline due to unexpected issues during the recovery process. your data is safe, will be working to get online

skylark restore should be complete shortly with all accounts back online.

skylark is still undergoing a restore, some accounts are already active, will be back online 100% soon

All servers are back online. For individual support issues, please submit a support ticket

Anyways, just thought I’d post about it in case anyone was wondering. Plus I really wanted an excuse to put that image on my site :P

A PC Power-user’s guide to success in Macland

January 18th, 2009 lococobra No comments

A few weeks ago I decided to do something quite random. I’ve been a PC user all my life, and I bought a Mac.

Why?

Well, I did have my reasons, I bought one of the new generation MacBook Pros, 2.4ghz 2gb ram, etc. It just seemed like I these MacBooks were so well built. I needed a laptop for school and I didn’t want some thick piece of plastic that I would be disappointed with both in immediately and eventually. My OS X experience was limited to only what little time I had spent surfing the internet on my friend’s mac. But I had an idea. I thought I could set up my old computer as a file-server or something. Of course ideas are to results as seconds are to days.

Enough back-story though, what’s the point of this blog?

Well, I’ve learned a lot since then, I’ve been working hard to adjust, and I’ve been figuring out some pretty interesting stuff. Interesting enough that I thought it would be a shame for my work to go to waste. Instead I hope to post it here and pray that the right google search will lead some lucky guy to a shortcut in what could be hours of work.
