12.23.07Another virtualization environmentI guess by now a lot of you know that there are virtualization solutions from Parallels and VMWare out there. Just today I found another player in the market and it is even an Open Source solution under the GNU license. So if you want to try out the new kid on the block then head over to VirtualBox and grab your copy of their virtualization product. Good thing it is available on Windows, Linux and MacOS X. We haven't tried it yet, but sure will do so.

12.02.07Internet Explorer on the MacThere is a "new" way to run Internet Explorer on the Mac "natively". Actually this way of running Internet Explorer will save you tonnes of time, since you don't need to start up VMWare Fusion (or Parallels) just to look at a web site with Internet Explorer. Of course we are talking about the "ies4osx" Project which can be found over at ies4osx website. The project requires that you to install Darwine (an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X) and that you have a Mac with a Intel processor.

11.06.07Leopard (10.5) Users be aware of the “move file” issueThere is a serious bug with the "move file" operation on 10.5; "if for whatever reason your target disk gets disconnected during a file move -- a USB or Firewire cable is yanked, power failure, or a network interruption for a remote server volume -- you're likely to have problems with your moved files. In particular, whichever file was in progress when the connection dropped may disappear from both the source and target folders, never to be seen again." Source: The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

11.03.07Our thoughts on Leopard (MacOS X 10.5)A new operating system is always a highlight, especially from a company like Apple. Their MacOS X is already a very advanced operating system and thus a new upgrade must mean some more benefit for the user and higher quality, right?

We have also updated to Leopard from Tiger and have no issues with ColdFusion 8 running.

Also over at Mark Drew's Blog there are some instruction how to get it running.
