QUOTE(goldfries @ Jan 16 2007, 12:05 AM) why disable touchpad? Total dummy with that "pad" thingy. A RM 10 mouse serve me better.... and you found the screen to be bright? i usually have it in full brightness. but when in dark places, i turn it down a little.   FULL? My brightness is around 70% now in a pretty well lighted condition.. i still find it a bit "too bright" ** continue to mess around with OSX |

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jan 16 2007, 12:03 PM) ed0gawa, Well, i guess that at some point i'll have to use it ..... impossible to hug the mouse around when i have no notebook bag at all ... lolTry using the trackpad. It may be a little inconvenient at the beginning but I think you'll soon get used to it. I'm getting used to mine though at this point i can't say i prefer it more than the mouse. It sure takes awhile getting used to the 'right-clicking' of the mouse! *grins* ** Still using mouse now... lol |

O_o .. my DVI-VGA convertor ain't around....
btw, anyone familiar with MySql installation? I am following a guide on http://switch.richard5.net/isp-in-a-box-v2...ql-on-mac-os-x/ Did all the part till the author says QUOTE To get the shared libraries you need to do another step which might look a bit drastic but it solves any issues you might encounter in compiling the rest of your applications. You need to download the Source to MySQL 5, it's the tar file called mysql-5.0.26.tar.gz, unpack it and open a Terminal session where you cd into the sourcedirectory and execute the following commands. Please note the different configure instructions for Intel or PowerPC based Macs: Not very sure with what the author wants me to do. I downloaded the source file, un"zip" it. Run terminal and try to just paste watever code he posted there. It doesn't work.. lol. A check with official mysql installation file doesn't actually have this "Extra" step.. So do i actually need to complete it? * i start to miss my Windows now... dummy-proof* |

I was cursing all night long; "How the heck to work with this Terminal thing..... windows just click click click" .. lol |

Also, was able to get online at Starbucks @ Borders this evening. Er.. looks like I managed to succeed with uploading the image... except it's a little big though.. *oopS* but what the heck! so as long as it works! kEKekek....  Well, actually i managed to "connected" to 1 network.. but i can't online or browse other PC in the network... ** hunt for more.. lol |

Ok.... do i need any special configuration to connect to WIFI (router) ?
Couldn't connect even to "open" connection (searched with iStumbler), then try to connect to all those "open" connection. But then.. connection fail. I just click on the wifi icon and select connect to that network. Didn't do any tweaking to the configuration... Am i doing something wrongly? |
