Little things that I/my clients may need... or interesting |
Eventually you will need a Lion Boot DVD for recovery and correcting permission. To get the installer file again, you need to go to your App Store purchased list, option click the Lion and then you will get an Install button again. After it is downloaded, you can use instructions here to create the image.
Attended a workshop put on by Dr. Don Levan of Vanguard Custom Software in New York. The workshop worked us through the cycle of getting the process as close to the finale point before we actually do the coding.
The process is very useful and give you and your clients a positive frame of reference for the end result.
The pictures are some of the 6 up's and 1 up's on the designs put together to tackle the excercises in the workshop.
I need one to tests some Apps, so further delays would mean longer delays for my apps and some other projects.
This all meant that I had to make a trip to the closest Apple store in the US, so on the 16th, a road trip to Buffalo. It was lucky my client moved a meeting a week out, so the day opened up last minute.
Just so you know. The pads are still on short supply. You can't just call a store and put a credit card down to purchase and show up the next day to pick them up. The sales person said you have to show up at a store to place an order ( in case you want a partcular model ), she said you have to be at the store to purchase. I explained that I was 2 hours away, how would they guarantee my trip wouldn't be a wasted trip? She said to drive fast after I call in the morning to confirm stock.
So I called the night before and started out 8am to be at the store when it opened. The limit is 2 units. I was lucky to get a 32gb, the 2nd guy behind was told to come back next week. They didn't have any 16 or 64gb versions.
Last bit, read the reviews already posted by all the tech journalist. My opinion - It is a gread device.
Solid feel
Instant on
Great screen
Replaces a lot of core functions on my notebook
I take it everywhere, I don't take my notebook everywhere.
The new iPad apps look really good, now to make my apps look just as nice.
