December 09 VBScript editor for OSX I love administering a Windows infrastructure with my MacBook. One of the things I'm looking for though is a script editor such as Sapien's PrimalScript that would allow me to write VBScript code. I realize there is no vbscript engine for OSX, which is not necessary. I would just like to manage my code on the Mac. Anyone got any suggestions? -Gill December 05 Time to blog It's been some time since I posted an entry. I've accomplished to use my MacBook Pro (still running Tiger atm) to fully administer a client's Windows environment. Granted, most of the administration is via Remote Desktop lol! OK, that's all I got to say for the moment...life is calling... GillRilla November 24 Having fun on the MacNow that I've had this awesome laptop for a few days let me tell what I've been doing. I'm not very Mac savvy so please excuse my OS X inexperience. One of the first things I wanted to do was test dual booting with XP SP2. I tried rEFIt and Bootcamp. rEFIt seemed very powerful and upon installation, I realized I was in for some reading to understand EFI and everything around dual booting on Macs. I decided to go with Bootcamp instead, opting for its simplicity and wizards. Installing XP was a complete breeze and during the whole process I never lost functionality of my Logitech Bluetooth mouse (Model M-RBB93) which was a cool nicety. Even the Mac's built-in camera was recognized in XP! The next couple of hours were spent installing City of Heroes/City of Villains, including it's updates (I have an old install CD so the update was 1.6GB!). Now for the ultimate test (at least in my mind)...COH/COV ran so good I'm still beside myself! The game itself informs me that I am using an outdated graphics driver for the ATI X1600, but its performance still excellent. I am comparing the game play to running it on an Alienware Area-51m P4 3.2Ghz laptop using the InVidia Go 5600 chipset. I realize we are talking apples and oranges here, but it was very comforting to know that I can use my Mac at work (I will talk about my transition in future blogs) and run XP based games at home without issue. -Gill November 18 Official MemberAbout a month ago I started on the journey to Mac'dom. I had decided that owning a MacBook Pro was going to be a sweet notch on my geek belt. Because I figured that the introduction of the Core 2 Duo chipset wasn't going to make it in the MacBook Pro anytime soon I dropped the bucks and ordered the MacBook Pro Core Duo version. While commuting to work the package arrived on my doorstep. When I got to work, I found out that Apple had announced the Core 2 Duo version! I looked at the new specs and reluctantly decided not to open the Core Duo version and sent it back to order the new one.
After waiting a couple of weeks and driving more than an hour to a FedEx facility (apparently they can't find my 1970's house or its neighborhood thats been around for more than 40 years), waiting for 2 hours for the driver to come back from his route, I am now writing this article on my new MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo! I'm officially...official!
Now to download ReFit and BootCamp....
-Gill September 21 MacBook ProI understand that there is an expo in Germany (Photokina) the 25th of this month and there may be an announcement for a bump in CPU speed for the MacBook Pro. A recent article (http://www.macshrine.com/2006/09/15/merom-macbook-pro-at-photokina/) suggested that the Core 2 Duo MacBooks would not come out until Q1/Q2 of 2007. Either way, by the end of September, I am getting a MacBook Pro 17" at the fastest speed available. My computing knowledge is fairly wide, but it will be interesting to see how this mostly Microsoft-centric geek adapts to the "white" side. -Gill
