Dear Time Warner

Hello,

You dial access dialer does not work with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). I’ve confirmed this with tech support. It hasn’t been updated in a very long time anyway, so it’s probably time for an update.
Or, better yet, release the PPP script so that we don’t have to use your horribly outdated proprietary dialer and you don’t have to support it. That way it’ll work with OS X, Windows, and Linux.

Note: This may need to be forwarded to someone in the company who actually understand what PPP is.

Ben

I hate Vi

Posted at September 23, 2007 11:48 am | In Technology | By: Ben Woodruff

Seriously, who actually likes to use Vi? Having to “switch modes” just to save a file is stupid. The whole system is annoying. nano/pico are much much better alternatives imo. I know Vi is supposedly more “powerful,” but really… I don’t care. All I want to do is add a line to my crontab. I don’t need it to cook me breakfast too. Plus trying to get it to cook me breakfast, if I did want it to, would probably take a lot longer than just doing so myself, as I’d probably have to switch between command and insert mode 50 times.
