Hackintosh: ALC889a ‘pop’ fix
For a while now, I’ve been searching for a fix to the ‘popping’ issue with my Hackintosh (Click the ‘Hackintosh’ tag for more information.) Thanks to AndrewNZ, a user over at InsanelyMac, I can now enjoy music without that incessant popping and, as some describe it, ‘very too crispy’ sound quality.

Glitch? Two Team Marcus.
What an odd glitch. There were two team Marcus. Even though the lone Marcus was a Carmine model, but he was still allied with the other Marcus. Lame. Wish they would address some of the general buggy-ness. The lancer is out of control, too.
Thoughts on New Wordpress Admin Interface
I noticed that Wordpress 2.7 beta 3 was released (I was on 2.6), and decided to give it a go. What I didn’t realize is that the Wordpress administration interface is completely different. After spending a few minutes with it, I have to say that I really like it. It’s extremely easy to navigate and with the Google Gears Firefox plug-in installed, it’s extremely responsive. One feature that I like in particular is the ability to search the plug-ins repository via the administration interface. Makes looking for new plug-ins extremely fast and easy. Overall, I’m happy with it and excited that they decided to overhall the interface.
Some Evening Gears of War
Played a bit of Gears 2 today after getting home from class. I got stuck in an excruciatingly long game of Submission on Blood Drive. We finally lost 2-1 and clocked in at just under 45 minutes. It’s all good though, as we got a lot of points towards our next rank.
I really didn’t care much for the first Gears of War, mostly because it was extremely difficult to get good at, but I’m enjoying the sequal a lot more. I’m actually not too bad at this one, either. I guess everything is more fun when you’re winning…
Desktop (13 Nov 2008)
Was testing out Flickr’s post to blog feature, so here’s my current desktop. I’m loving the total lack of icons or dock. Feels extremely clean and productive. Click for bigger-er.
