After a couple of days with leopard, I got sick of the new dock. I turned up a fix after poking around, and realizing that side-mounting the dock made it not suck as much, and dumped the 3D crap.

Anyone else who wants to dump the 3D look can try this:

% defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES
% killall Dock


I’ve been using the Boinc client to particpate in a number of grid computing projects for the last year. My involvemnt started off with the need to stress-test a system that was having hardware issues that we couldn’t pin down accurately. I moved the client over to my workstation, and it’s run there ever since, running in idle cycles mode, for the last 8 months or so.

There are several really interesting projects being farmed out by World Community Grid right now: FightAIDS@Home.; AfricanClimate@Home; Discovering Dengue Drugs and Human Proteome Folding - Phase 2. Projects rotate out of the WCG every few months, and new ones come in. Chances are that something that interests you will appear in the pipeline.

But if you’re wondering why I do this, let me explain…

And I’m posting from it. I finally get to be the kid with the Nikes. The one that gets shot and shit, you dig?

So, the total site overhaul is nearly done. There are a few cosmetic issues to clear up regarding various cosmetic, and some accommodations that I need to make for folks with display resolutions at or below 1024x768.
Mostly, that pertains to the front page portal, since the rest of site generally degrades reasonably under a host of conditions.

The rest of it is minor cosmetic fixes in non-index templates, and should be complete within the week, after which I have a bunch of content that has been collecting on my hard drive to get up on this damn thing.
If you're feeling generous and want to catalog any glitches you perceive, lob them into the comments for this post.

This was posted by me as a response to a story on Macsimum News. In the interest of equal time, Dennis Sellers posted an article written by a reader ( "John") stating that network neutrality is a Marxist notion, and is therefore bad. Even aside from the fact that it's a pretty stupid position to try to argue, John is also just plain wrong. If anything, network neutrality is an infrastructure level policy that actively encourages greater choice, and is thereby in line with, and supportive of, the capitalist free-market ideology.
