Oh Microsoft – you so craaaazy! Trying to install Silverlight 3 on an Intel Mac I am told that Silverlight 2 cannot be installed on a PPC Mac, now that’s quality assurance.
Silverlight 3 install attempt on an Intel Mac.
And so it begins.
Today Stacey and I start the third annual little sojourn in to the world of meatless living. For the month of March we will abstain from consuming the flesh of animals. Much to the distress of my grandmother, it turns out that a fish is indeed in the animal kingdom, and consuming its muscle tissue would break our rules. Tonight we dine on vegetarian chili, should be a tasty month of alternative eating.
Synergy2 is the newest addition to my server fail list. Despite its relatively short configuration file, it is filled with ways to screw up the configuration. Most times I have set it up I have made use of –debug on both the client and server, with a twist of tcpdump here and there. Having this many gotchas and necessitating that I reread an entire server and client man page and tutorial to get it working is unacceptable and I give a big fat thumbs up to would be competition (what happened to you Mango Lassi?).
Synergy2 is in good company however. There are plenty of other services I feel are inappropriately difficult to coerce into doing relatively simple things – I’m lookin’ at you apache, sendmail, and procmail.
