pbox update

Well, it looks like Jaguar (aka Mac OS X 10.2) on the PowerBook won’t happen. I tried to install last week, and got the dimmed screen effect. So actually I might be able to install it, I just won’t be able to see anything. I’ve searched and searched and it seems that Wallstreet users can either get it to work, or not get it to work, but there doesn’t seem to be a fix for the ones it doesn’t work on. On the upside, looks like I’ll be getting a working battery soon, so even though I can’t currently put it to sleep, it shouldn’t think it’s the 1970’s every now and then.

So it looks like we’re stuck at Mac OS X 10.1.5, which isn’t so bad, considering what I paid for it. Sure, we’d like features like S-Video out to work, but we can’t afford to be picky right now…

Comment ID

pb implemented PGP/GPG signing into his commenting system. I had mentioned doing this before, somewhere, on somebody’s site, not that I can remember where, but I think it’s a good idea. Perhaps at some point in the future when using public key encryption is easy enough for Mom do to, this will catch on.

As it is though, his system is well done, and not at all intrusive to people who don’t know squat about digital signatures. Does anyone besides me want to see a <link rel="publickey"…> tag?
