About This Blog

I'm Arthur Wiebe, a Bible believing born again believe it or not saved by the blood kind of young man who has a desire to live his life in integrity not slacking in what it important but what is not. Seeking the glory which is to come instead of the destruction which has already come.

Need you know much else? Well I like to work as well--especially working towards making technology work better for all of us.

21 April 2006 - 23:00Would have FlightGear OSX Released By Now But…

I would have FlightGear 0.9.10 for Mac OS X released by now. I was in the process of building universal frameworks for PLIB and SimGear and had fixed the blocking bugs in RenderTexture, but then I changed a system library and now the entire system is hosed. My Mac is now unusable and it will probably be mid-May before I get it fixed because that’s when the device is coming that I need to fix it.

Well such is life. Sometimes more than one Mac would be nice.

4 April 2006 - 23:00Apple’s Boot Camp

Launched today, Apple Boot Camp. What’s next, Apple ditching Mac OS X and preinstalling Windows on Apple computers? I think I’m going to switch completely to Linux soon.

Boot Camp allows you to dual-boot Windows XP and Mac OS X on the same machine without losing data. It even provides all the Windows drivers for stuff like graphics and sound.

I assume it works be resized the hard disk partitions and creating some. Related, Apple released a firmware update that adds legacy BIOS support to Intel macs.
