OS X Mavericks

[yanpa]

Oooh, I just remembered I have a new-ish Mac Mini which has nothing on it I can't afford to break, I might have a crack at updating that.

[CrankyBastard]

Ehmmm... The Iphone google maps also have traffic info... Why so complicamated ?

I also hate fiddling around with Google maps in traffic

[Coligny]

Dafuq... It works like car navi VICS...just a green/yellow/red line on the road map...

[nikoneko]

CrankyBastard I'm not able to see any traffic on it in my area either. If it helps.

And about the upgrade itself aside from some weird firmware-ish problems with Parallels after the upgrade I have seen no problems at all. Also can verify that from a friend who outranks all of us in the tech dept from info amongst his troops.

Maybe try staying more up to date? I didn't even know people still used PGP at all.

I edit patents and a patent law offices* require bonded couriers or encryption in the earlier stages of the patent process. It turned out the PGP Enterprise update was sent out twice, the main release in July I had installed and Mavericks re-tweeked one in late August. As a stop-gap, I installed GPG (OpenPGP-compliant software) to do my work yesterday.

Today, I discovered the Mavericks patch for PGP that was re-released late August, meh.

*High-powered criminal law offices require the use of encryption or
bonded couriers for sensitive documents too.

Go to hell lol I was talking about a friend not me. He does movies and shit and pretty high up in the CGI world, he's even in the IMDB. This week I personally spent most of my time writing database design documents that consisted of entries pretty damn similar to:
Table Name: CLGNYS_PSTS_ABT_CRS_DTS
Summary Table Name: COLIGNY'S POSTS ABOUT CARS AND THEIR DATES
Summary: Description: A COLIGNY'S POSTS ABOUT CARS AND THEIR DATES record contains information about Coligny's posts about cars and the date those posts were created on.

That is pretty darn cool actually. I honestly was just playing with you and honestly had not even thought about PGP in years and years. But again it has been said years and years since I needed to worry too much about encryption. So you are the "BADASS OVER HERE" more than me on that.

Sounds a bit like my week. Though it consists more of writing stuff like:

Code: Select all

  ALTER TABLE clgnys_psts_abt_crs_dts ALTER COLUMN cr_date TYPE DATE;
   -- which idiot decided on a TIMESTAMP when the time part of that column in all 30 million records of this table is and always will be 00:00:00?


I won't even mention the pain involved in converting to true boolean types (though luckily I haven't yet come across any occurrences of "FILE_NOT_FOUND").

[nikoneko]

Oh man I just laughed way to hard at that after 1 am on Friday. In the trenches high five! I can't go into more really but just know I am doing it too but on American hours and with contracts and committees I can't really talk about lol. Boss has decided I think (and kinda hope because I enjoy it) I am actually pretty good with the DBs and has me as his go to guy there now the last bit. Had been working on a fun project (to us masochists) importing certain tables from a huge legacy Oracle database into a newer MS SS database all week and last. I had the white text on black going in multiple terminals and could feel my beautiful Stallman-esque beard growing back. Then I got hit with doing Schema write-ups lmao, cause now I am becoming "the guy who understands the DBs and C# and how to write a daemon and also writes good." Hahahahah going to blow my brains out this weekend most likely in anticipation of the next.

huge legacy Oracle database

Oooh, I haz one of those. Spent much of the last few weeks hunting down scripts etcetera which were under the impression it was still a valid data source.

white text on black going in multiple terminals

White?! What's wrong with good old-fashioned green?

white text on black going in multiple terminals

Stallman never changed a default and neither do I.


Truthful answer, if I am on a windows command prompt it makes me sad so I just leave it as it is. Default is white on black and I am happy with that.

[nikoneko]

If the script/daemon/cronjob (as us bearded ones call it) runs leave that shit alone lol.

[yanpa]

windows command prompt

One of these words does not belong with the others.

All three Macs in the house updated to OS X Mavericks (10.9) with no issues.

Mac users take note: It's a free upgrade for post 2007 hardware running 10.6.3 or later.

So far it seems to be a pretty solid OS.

Glad you're having luck. I'm holding off until the coast is clear. I work in digital video, so there's lots of reasons to wait until others have made all the mistakes, installed the wrong drivers, can't log into their VPN, etc. For sure, never update if in the middle of an important project.

[CrankyBastard]

Seems Traffic on the Apple Map isn't supported in Japan.

No reason to rush, particularly if you're in the middle of an important project.

Like I said, there are three Macs around the house so I tested it on just one of them first. That went swimmingly, so I took the plunge. Still no problems. No network problems, no printer problems, and no broken applications. For me. Others might not get off so lightly, so caution is advised.

Still ... they're gonna get you sooner or later ...

Ah thanks, that was it.

Code: Select all

enum Bool

    True,
    False,

Premiere Pro CC is crashing on launch for some users, so that's the main one for me. I'm waiting.

The only thing that doesn't seem to work is my webcam. We only use it for skyping with the grandparents but they do like to see his smiling face.

Any suggestions on a good replacement? I haven't bought one for a while. We just have a bog standard buffalo so will probably just get another one unless somebody knows of a shizzletastic webcam that I just have to own.

Sure that's not just a driver issue? Quick visit to the Barfalo site to check?

[Coligny]

Ehmmm wasn't there an official skype annoucement stating they were stopping support of countless third party ... Things ? Does the cam works with ichat ? Most webcam since few year have universal driver support (UVC Webcams)

Could only find a windows download. But I might be looking in the wrong place.

No, that seems to be it.
I did a list search and a product number search and only the Windows utility comes up.

Ah well ...

http://www.slashgear.com/skype-to-end-a ... -03304009/

Yes, but they backtracked. Anyway as I understand it, that would only affect peripherals explicitly designed to work with the Skype API, not hardware which happens to be attached via USB rather than being built in.

[nikoneko]

Yes as I read that they dropped their API. Both hardware and software. But then rescinded on it and who knows. GG I think it might be another issue but no idea what.


Also meant to report in a huge knock on wood fashion I have had no problems with this myself so far at all. Other than at the very beginning.

[GomiGirl]

Could just be that it has crapped out and is ready to die. It worked for a few days after I upgraded the OS to Mavericks and then stopped working with Skype. Might be that the mini is just too old and crappy too
