Fire drill.
By Jan in OSX, TechnologyIt’s coming round to the time of year when I get the urge to do a clean install of whatever computer/laptop/phone I’m using. Not sure why.

OSX Tip: ReturnOpen
By Jan in OSX, TechnologyEither you’ve recently switched from windows to OSX, or you use both systems, and you’re used to opening applications and files by silmply pressing enter. But that doesn’t work in OSX does it? On OSX, pressing enter (or return as others call it), allows you to rename the file. To open it, you either double-click [...]

By Jan in OSX, TechnologyMy main work-horse is a 2 year old, 13,3″ white macbook. It was my first mac and I’m, still, very happy with it. It lives on my desk at home, together with a 24″ widescreen Samsung flatscreen and a bunch of hard-drives for storage and backup. But I had been having some issues with it [...]
