Safari 4

Posted by Michael on March 3, 2009

I must admitt that I’m quite impressed and use it more and more … although I miss the add-ons quite heavily.
But for surfing it is great, love the new Top Sites View !

But I can’t edit my wordpress blog with Safari 4 ….

Giving Power to Distributed Computing Projects

Posted by Michael on February 28, 2009

My Mac Pro is a powerfull working horse with 32 GB RAM / 4 TB storage, during work time > 16 GB RAM and > 2.5 TB are used.
(BTW: I’m looking forward to a 2x 8 core based machine … at an affordable price … hopefully)

Today I searched the internet for projects like SETI@home and was impressed how many there are

Sure there are many more web sites about but these 2 are enough for me to look and choose, at least for a start.

VMware Fusion 2 Beta

Posted by Michael on May 30, 2008

I’m using now for about a week, even in a productive enviroment.

- memory consumption is quite a bit higher compared to VMware on windows (with v1 too)
- debug is off, but the vm’s can become slow
- Multi monitor is working partially (3rd monitor identfied but blank),
maybe cause I use 2 different grapic cards and 3 monitors with different resolutions

No time yet for testing 3D graphics with some games but will do soon. Overall it’s stable – had never experienced any real problem with beta’s in the past – and I’m looking forward to the final version.
