After a little research on modding a G5 Case to house a PC motherboard, I have decided that it’s too much of a hassel for little reward. I purchased this case about a month ago for $104 including shipping in hopes of modding the case. I searched all over the web and found a few good links for instructions on how to install a PC motherboard and power supply.

Although I am still tempted to keep the case and mod it for the “brag” factor, I feel that the feat is not worth the cost and/or the bragging rights. Also I feel that I have better things to invest my time and money into. Say for example my home, and oh yeah weapons/guns.

For those of you that have a cd/dvd burner and Mac OS this is a application you must have. I purchased a DL/DVD burner last year and the app that came with it was Toast 6 lite. While this is a decent app I felt I needed the best there was and that is Toast Titanium 7. I did a search on google and found one link that worked. Oh yeah and the new Serial Box is out for the month, use the serial you find in there.

I just read a post on Wired.com about these nifty gadgets and how the German government is getting away with using these cameras in public places. The short story is that the Austrian government passed a law in which police can monitor public places with out having a court order. They are using stand-alone networked cameras manufactured by Axis Communications. This pissed off local civil liberties groups who brought up the famous question ‘who will watch the watchers’. Any way I found these cameras to be ‘pretty darn nifty’ and decided to look into the cost of having one. The cheapest one I found on ebay is the indoor fixed camera model ‘Axis 206’ is $250. If you want to go with a cheap outdoor Axis camera then you may want the ‘Axis 211’ which typically goes for about $700. You can also go with the ‘Axis 211A’ which is an outdoor camera with audio but this model is about +$150 more than the base 211 model. The neat thing about these cameras is the ability to access them through out a network and not have them hooked up to a computer. I guess you could go with a webcam but you will need a computer to manage the images. I would so love to have one of these to play around with at home. Look up some of these cameras on Google to check them out.

I just upgraded to the latest version of WordPress. I am getting used to the changes and the looks of the Dashboard and such. The WordPress team has changed things such as a larger font when writing a post and added the ability to upload files when writing a post, instead of having to switch tabs to upload a file.

Although some may like Dashboard in 10.4, I never really use it and I find it a waste of resources. Here is how to turn it off.
Launch Terminal and enter these two commands
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
killall Dock

To turn Dashboard back on enter these into terminal
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean NO
killall Dock
