Finding Your iCal Data in OS X 10.4

In Panther, it was easy; iCal pulled its calendar data from ~/Library/Calendars/. This changes in Tiger, and if you want to use your old calendars (and don’t use the Migration Assistant) you’ll need to import them.

Enhanced Podcasts in iTunes 4.9: Not Worth the Hassle

I was reading the lowdown on what upgrades come with iTunes 4.9, podcast discovery/management obviously being the big one. Then I saw Chapter Tool - a tool from Apple that let you create “enhanced podcasts” that contained chapter markers, as well as what I call media markers - places where images and URL’s accompany […]

Summer 2005 @ Purdue

This summer marks the third consecutive one living at Purdue. Two years ago I lived with Adam, my Wiley roommate for 3.5 years (NW189 woo!), in the most dilapidated apartment PRF offered offers (well, considering it’s PRF, maybe not). Last year I was a Conference Assistant at Owen/Cary/Wiley/Tark, which didn’t pay much, and […]
