Panther – Forcing Mail.app to accept self-signed SSL certificates

February 13, 2004

Apple has an official knowledgebase article describing how to inject self-signed SSL certificates into your X509Anchors keychain so Mail.app and Safari.app will stop complaining when establishing a connection for the first time. I’ve been doing this by hand for quite a while, but Apple’s method is much easier.

Is that all you got?

February 11, 2004

Quite a few years ago, when I was living in the Mission Hill combat zone just outside of Boston, I was a Full Body Cast member of the Cambridge Rocky Horror Picture Show. In and of itself, that fact should have classified me as a pervert, but I had the distinct honor of meeting someone […]

Too smart for your own good

That’s the problem with being a systems administrator or engineer. You always tackle the most obscure complex problems before checking for the blinding flash of the obvious.

Rebels are popping up like weeds!

February 9, 2004

In the few short months since my purchase of a Canon EOS Digital Rebel, I’ve noticed that they’re popping up everywhere! I’ve seen them around at various events, but I counted about two dozen of them in use at the Boston BMW CCA Ice Race that took place on Sunday. Not only were spectators and […]

Janet Jackson’s Nipple

February 5, 2004

The talk all around the world right now is Janet exposing her breast at the Super Bowl. After some digging through Google and AP News Photos, I finally found a detailed image of the incident! Here, in all of her glory, is Janet Jackson’s breast! Personally, I’m not all that impressed. Not only is she […]

So how about that halftime show?

February 1, 2004

I absolutely refuse to mention anything about the cheesy “shocking” publicity stunt that pissed off CBS. It was an accident…honest! Yeah, whatever.

Complete MySQL

January 29, 2004

Thanks to an article at MacDevCenter.com, I found that Server Logistics offers a Mac OS X installation of MySQL. As of this writing, the Server Logistics distribution is 4.0.15 and the latest version is 4.0.17, but so be it. Two minor versions behind is perfectly adequate for a desktop installation.

OffBrainWiki

I’ve always been partial to the term Off Brain Storage. I more or less pulled the term out of my ass one day to describe exactly what I needed…a reliable means to keep track of miscellaneous attention deficit inert ramblings that I would find useful in the future. Although this blog has helped out with […]

Edgar Allan Poe – The Raven

January 28, 2004

The Raven is, by far, one of Edgar Allan Poe’s most quoted and parodied works. Although I’ve heard the poem read many times in various forms, I actually sat down and read it for the first time on my own last night.

  • The Angels’ Share: Single Malt and Singletrack
    Back in November an amazing video popped up in my Feedly called Angel’s Share: Exploring Scotland’s Singletrack and Single Malt. I’m a big fan of mountain biking. I’m a big fan of Scotch. And I’m a fan of Ben Howard whom I’ve heard a few times and was chosen for the soundtrack. But a couple […]

    Trunkmonkey Racing backs Mac Ride! This is insanely cool. What happens when you cross a kid named Mac and a Mountain Bike? You get Mac Ride, a Kickstarter out of Vancouver, eh!

  • When counting calories watch out for reporting loops in your Apps.
    Weight loss isn’t magic. Simply eat less calories than you burn. Easy peasy. That is unless you inadvertently sabotage yourself by getting too geeky and try to use too many nutrition and weight loss Apps to track and manage your progress. I found out the hard way that it’s best to Keep it Simple (Stupid). […]
  • Trunkmonkey Racing Ghetto Wheel Truing using Zipties
    After 10 miles of rough trail riding on the old 1992 GT Karakoram Full Rigid my slightly out-of-true wheel became a significantly out-of-true wheel with a bent spoke; it was rubbing brake pad in four locations. I guess my fat ass bombing a downhill full of fist-sized loose rocks and small boulders was a bad […]
  • Airborne Bicycles gives a sneak peak of their new Guardian 29
    It’s just a single photo, but Airborne Bicycles has posted a sneak peak photo of their new Guardian 29 on their Facebook page. Since the caption reads “A sneak-peak of one of the new models coming soon~!” there are probably more fresh designs in the pipeline! Speculation is running wild, but so far the consensus […]
  • Trunkmonkey Racing and Airborne Bicycles?
    In my search for new Mountain Bikes I ran across Airborne Bicycles, a company that has an interesting offering of value-packed bikes (follow them on Facebook and Twitter).
