Hi. Another tech post today.

I’ve created an installer package for MacOS X 10.3 that will install the BOINC distributed client package as a StartupItem and run it in the background.

That way, you don’t always have to run it manually when you login to MacOS X.

I don’t give any guarantees on this software as it’s my first shot at installers. So please, email me if you find any issues. But, I’ve tested it as much as I could and it works everywhere I’ve tried. So here goes!

You can Download the Installer from my iDisk.

Be sure to read the ReadMe and email me if somethings goes awry.

Happy Super-Computing!

Well, it took me all day but I managed to finish off the stylesheet for the upgraded site here. You’ll notice a few changes I’m sure not the least of which being the lack of links on the left!

The new version of Wordpress has a nifty feature called ‘Pages’ that allow you to create individual pages that live outside the chronology of the main blog. They stand alone. You can see the new “Pages” section of links at the top-left. I’ll be creating a page there that will house an archive of all of Jades Pictures and Movies over the past few months.

I was just watching David Letterman on the Digital CBS affiliate out of New York and notice that the channel above it was “FOXNC”!

Channel 137 on your Digital Cable box in Victoria, BC.

In some more encouraging news today….

New Republic Online is quotes the NYTs’ Ed Wong:

Certainly because we withdrew from the elections, that doesn’t mean we won’t be part of the drafting of the constitution,” said Sheik Moayad Ibrahim al-Adhami, a senior member of the Muslim Scholars Association, which says it represents 3,000 mosques and is the most influential Sunni group to call for an election boycott. “The elections are one matter; the constitution is another.”
