Apple Boot Camp software for XP installation | Comments (2)

Posted in Snippets on 6th April 2006, 8:32 am by Stuart

I’m a little late picking up on this one but if your haven’t already heard, Apple have released some beta software called Boot Camp to smooth the way to run Windows XP on your Intel Based Mac. The process is a lot less hairy than the previous hacks and not only that Apple have collected all the drivers you need to get everything running. Nothing short of brilliant. Photos showing the process are available here (Thanks for the link Tim).

Unfortunately, due to financial constraints, I’ve not yet managed to get myself a Mac – this is mainly because I’d like a mobile Mac that is powerful enough to do what I want it to do. In short, I want a MacBook Pro.

This latest development on “Planet Mac” has piqued my interest even more; and it also means I can run Photoshop in Windows instead of having to wait for the next version to be released before it runs on the Intel Macs…

Good job Apple, I say. They’re definitely going to be selling a lot more Macs now…

Yep, I’d really like to get my hands on a MacBook Pro sometime later this year if at all possible.

Using Loggerhead with mod_wsgi|(0)

Here’s a post I wrote over on the Project Fondue Blog about our use of Loggerhead with mod_wsgi under Apache. Loggerhead is the rather nice branch viewer for bazaar branches as used on Launchpad.net.

If you’re not already subscribed to the Project Fondue blog feed then I can recommend it, as there should be some interesting posts coming out of there in the coming months (yes I’m unashamedly biased!).

Ubuntu: Turn off changing workspace with mouse wheel|(1)

I found the changing with the workspace with the mouse wheel really annoying. To disable it go to System => Preferences => CompizConfig (available if the compizconfig-settings-manager package is installed) and uncheck “Viewport Switcher” which is under the “Desktop” heading.
