The 10TB Mac mini Snow Leopard Server Project

Thursday, March 04, 2010

Hi guys,

maybe some of you were wondering that I’ve written something about Mac OS X Server yesterday. Well, the truth is, that with the 30″ Cinema HD Display, I’ve also ordered a Mac mini Snow Leopard Server. Planned as Media-Station & Server-mixture in the living room, it turned out, that this will not work as expected. But… let me start at the beginning…

Mac OS X Server Software Update Service – if it does NOT work

Wednesday, March 03, 2010

Hey guys,

I was fighting for 3 days with the Software Update Service that Snow Leopard Server provides to the connected clients. My problem was, that I just get an information, that the server was not reachable. Well, I’m not 100% sure yet, what was the issue, I think I have done 2 mistakes while doing the configuration.

Welcome, 30″ Apple Cinema Display!

Monday, March 01, 2010

Hey guys,

last Thursday, I’ve received my new display. After weeks and asking around a hundred people what they recommend, I’ve ordered my next generation display at CyberPort. After scanning the market, I ended up to choose one of the following manufactures: Apple, EIZO, NEC or LaCie. Well, LaCie was way too expensive (about 3.500€ for the 30″). Continue Reading »

Writing my own “WILMA” for the Mac – easier than I thought

Monday, February 22, 2010

Morning!

Since I moved to the Mac I miss only 1 thing really – WILMA. Hu!? What the hell is WILMA you may ask. It’s a pretty cool tool coded for Windows by Stefan Didak that allows you define layouts of your window arrangements. If you are a Windows user and use at least 2 displays, I would highly recommend to use WILMA ;)

Just for fun “alternative podcast logo”

Wednesday, February 17, 2010

Hi guys,

I was just playing a bit with Photoshop. I’ve gone through a lot tutorials the last few days, so maybe I’m a bit inspired. This is more a study, but I like it and want to show it around ;) And no – I will not use it.

Hey guys,

a lot of my recent visitors are coming from Stefan Didak’s or Mitch Haile’s Websites. The reason is quiet simple, both were so nice and had set a link to my page a couple of months ago.

Das Grundlagenbuch zu Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard

Snow Leo Book

Servus!

Na? Überrascht, dass ich auch mal auf Deutsch blogge? Keine Sorge, so oft wird das nicht vorkommen ;)

Der Grund hierfür ist schnell erklärt. Ich habe ein neues Buch – ein Buch über Snow Leopard. Genauer gesagt ein Grundlagenbuch über Apples aktuelles Betriebssystem. Der DHL Bote hatte mich eiskalt erwischt, als ich gerade unter die Dusche springen wollte :o

It covers the complete installation process incl. upgrading the SSDs firmware to the current version (which is recommended). Also, a benchmark is included.

Networking horror

Tuesday, February 02, 2010

Good evening,

after some days of silence, I think it makes sense to explain what happend.

First of all: I’ve launched my business “dennisklein.eu” successfully on Monday ;) So – great to be back to my own business.

But let me scroll back a few days. The last time, I’ve told you, that I’ve moved to a new ISP, called VirtualBots. They had a nice offer to testdrive the vServer for 30 days. I was impressed, grabbed one package and asked them if it’s possible to upgrade with a managed software. They wanted to do the management and installed Confixx (by Parallels) for me. This thing worked smooth and nice, with some rough corners. For example the security of the Apache was not as I hoped, I could not even install phpSysInfo (and who knows me KNOWS that I love phpSysInfo!). I was nearly finished moving most of my websites to the new server (which now costed 60€ instead of 19€ monthly, which is a fair price) – the main server dropped off. Nothing. Silence. OF COURSE, my old webserver decided to do the same at this morning. So – nothing worked. No mail, no website. I was able to restart my olden goldie webserver at Server4You with a remote hard-reset. And it was back. Of course – broken and need to be replaced pretty soon.
