1. enable 2-factor (SMS) authentication in Gmail, per Make Your Email Hacker Proof.
2. create an Application-specific password for iCal on my new work laptop
3. watch iCal totally fail to authenticate using the new password.

1. despite my reservations, follow this “delete all iCal settings” technique (making backups first!)
2. start iCal
3. iCal now thinks there are no calendars
4. open Mail, Contacts, and Calendars preference pane
5. specify the Application-specific password
6. enable the forgotten calendars
7. refresh in iCal
8. watch calendar events appear
9. joy!

From rc3.org, another example of the Firefox team working hard to turn Firefox 4.0 into a Chrome-alike.

I already run Chrome on my Ubuntu box and on my Mac. Really the only things that prevent me from using Chrome full-time are:

• web app I’m developing at work must look right in Firefox
• no extension support in Mac Chrome yet

The lack of extension support on Mac is a sticking point for me because I’m a Delicious Bookmarks user. There’s a Delicious Chrome extension that I’ve been using on Linux, works great.

Another point is that Mac Chrome doesn’t have a functional bookmark manager yet. I keep starring things, in the hope that some future version will let me see and manage everything I’ve bookmarked. =)

Moo.

Hi everybody!

I totally spotted Kima Greggs Sonja Sohn at a local Valley coffeeshop. I won’t say which one so as not to discourage more celebrity sightings.

Usually I’m oblivious to whatever incredible things are going on around me, but this time, I was the one who noticed, not Alex. Haha!

Apple Reports Record Second Quarter Results: $1.05 Billion in Profit

I’m afraid of Apple’s positive inertia.

Roy always said “panic is the best motivation.”

Will Apple do something about:

• bizarre crashes after I’ve installed a security upgrade, but before I’ve restarted?
• the occasional failure to properly resize windows after I unplug a secondary display?
• their refusal to recognize apt-get as the One True Software Delivery Mechanism? =)

Hmm, I guess I’m a Mac fan again. I just can’t resist the pretty pretty fonts.

And I couldn’t have done it without Kelsey.

But first, I backed up my 4 amazing posts. Because I am serious about backups.

In other news, Pro Nails and Sensual Seduction.

Autoblog recently posted a photo tour of Nissan’s private storage facilities for their rarest and most kick-ass vehicles, and when I saw the Nissan Mid4, I was shocked at its similarity to the Honda/Acura NSX.

The pop-up headlights, the turn signal lights that wrap around the front fender, et cetera.

I just have to know… which came first? Who stole whose paper napkin sketch in what fancy restaurant?

Real hosting! Alright!
