RMG179 - Mahalo Edition
Aloha from Haiku, Hawaii on the island of Maui. Maui is referred to as the "valley" isle, but from my perspective, it's the rainbow island. I'm staying with my daughter in a very wet part of Maui and perhaps that's why the place is et-up with rainbows. I've climbed down Haléakala, almost did myself in snorkeling at Black Rock Beach (it was good until I swallowed all that salt water), and eaten some totally yum food. My fave so far is tako poki. Poki is Hawaii's own version of sushi, and as any sushi eater knows, tako is octopus and it's very yummy.
The podcast opens with Hukilau, a tune by the Employee Council of the Ka'anapali Beach Hotel.
I have two Mac consultations scheduledd while I'm here on Maui, and am working on a project for a client on mainland, so it's not all hiking and almost drowning. One of my jobs involved a G4 iBook which was dropped and it's screen shattered. Yipes! I'm sending the client to
TechRestore, one of several mail order repair shops that specialize in LCD replacement on PowerBooks and iBooks. In the case of this client, she will be paying about $450 for the repair including parts and labor. If she lived on the mainland, that would also include shipping, but living on Maui, she has to pay the penalty for living in the most remote land mass on the planet.
Lots of Mac sightings on Maui including one independent Mac store (MacNet), one member of the Apple Consultants Network, one independent Mac consultant and one user group. If you're going to be on Maui on Thursday, November the 10th, the Maui Apple User Society meets at Maui Community College. I"ll be back in Tallahassee by then.
If you're going to be at the expo, stop by the Apple Consultants Network booth to get your toughest technical questions answered. I'll be working there on Friday from 10 AM until 1 PM. If the line is not too long, and you're in the exhibit hall, please stop by and say hello.
Mac OS 10.4.3 is out as a free upgrade for Tiger and Tiger Server. Since installing the upgrade (and getting some hard drive toe room back), things are much better on the lap dog. The upgrade isavailablee through software update, as a delta or as a combined upgrade from the Apple Support Site.
Lifehacker article on VNC.
On the iTunes video/Front Row front, Apple reported that they sold over 1 million videos in the first 20 days that they were available on the iTMS.
The podcast ends with Sol Hoopii - I Like You.
