AirPort Express is working

Sunday afternoon: busy in setting up my AirPort Express's wireless network at home.
It worked - not like a charm, but I managed to put it to work.
Some setting was not ok in the standard configuration, and the connection to ISP couldn't be made (PPPoE). Finally, I made it. But I cannot figure out now the very setting that did the work - this is why I will retry some other day a new configuration.
Well this is mainly a log for me, as it also sounds :).

MacFUSE - only a quick tryout

I was wondering about the compatibility on Mac of any external HDD. Even I am not fully clarified about this - yet, I've found that MacFUSE might help with this.

What I have so far:
... a tool I might use for working with the external HDD
... just figured out how easy is to uninstall apps in mac os x :). this time, MacFUSE. But even is uninstalled now (as I didn't buy yet the external HDD I'm looking for), I think would be useful for me to watch the Tech Demos as well.
... recommendations for the external HDD are welcome as well ;)

Google Accounts and this blog

Honestly, I've forgott the link to my blog. 

Luckily, I've found it again on Google Accounts! :)


ClickToFlash installed - performance improver on macbook

Today I've installed ClickToFlash in order to improve performance of my macbook.

To keep notes about this - here.

Remember uninstalling notes:

"Uninstalling ClickToFlash: for versions 1.5b4 and later, go to the Settings window and click the “Uninstall ClickToFlash” button. For versions prior to 1.5b4, navigate to ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ in the Finder, where ~ is your home folder, and delete the item named “ClickToFlash.webplugin” (or “ClickToFlash.plugin”)."

working with LaTeX

Last week I've built my first document in LaTeX format. It took an afternoon to catch it, but now I can do it ;). And I really like the idea of using it. Knowledge probably to be extended... ;)

Until new things about, I'll record here some basic steps (sort of wiki for myself)

  1. Install latex-mk on macbook:

ports search latex

ports install latex-mk

  1. using a template (*.tex file), fill in data then
  • 2a. convert latex file in dvi file

latex-mk <>.tex

  • 2b. convert dvi file to pdf:

dvipdf <>.dvi

ECHO - Comments Evolved

Just found from a twit about ECHO. No, it is not the Java web framework. It seems to have another perspective. I'll see in the future.
Probably I'll give it a try.

too lazy to do all I want to...or maybe just the day is so short?
