FTP this, HTTP that, broken hardware, broken software
Posted November 5th, 2007 by DavideYesterday I removed the CPU heatsink and fan from my homeserver because the fan was making a lot of noise. I tried oiling it. It didn't really help, but now the computer is sort of screwed up, possibly because of the gfx card swap, more likely because I didn't put fresh paste between the CPU and the heatsink.
I easily moved the HTTP portion of the server to my Mac, For FTP I went for Pure-FTPd for Mac OS X. As it turns out, the GUI-enabled manager doesn't quite run on Leopard 8(
I got it to install and do first settings, but then it crashes.
I tried to fiddle with command line, but I can't even find a pre-existing pure-ftpd.conf ..nor much info on how to create one with virtual directories, etc etc.
Better luck tomorrow... kind of hoping for the GUI to get fixed 8)

Why Oh Why?
Posted June 11th, 2007 by DuddieSteve Jobs goes with his Safari Browser to Windows. First Bill G. went with his IE5 to Mac (nota bene better port than original Windows version) and now Apple heads the other direction.
I really do not understand it clearly as Safari is not the best browser out there. It has many issues, it cannot render pages well and even on OS X it is better to use Firefox.
The only reason for me is to validate the WebKit on the wider amount of platforms before integration of iPhone. Seems that iPhone must be somehow behind it and as iTunes were just a great choice for iPod user on Windows (who would use iTunes on Windows if not forced?!?!) then probably all this Safari thing is going to be some jump platform for iPhone integration on different systems.
Anyway... I do not really feel like going to be lab rat for Apple's Safari. Even on OS X I will stick to Firefox :)
