In San Francisco for WWDC

I arrived in San Francisco last night. Some photos can be found here. Unfortunately, I slept through the middle of that beautiful sunset, and NWA also didn’t do a very good job keeping their windows clean. Otherwise, the flights with KLM and NWA were really quite enjoyable. In particular on the Airbus A330, which features a personal entertainment system where you can even play games against the other passengers. It also has laptop power in half of the economy seats :-)

Seems some other people weren’t that lucky …

They say Mac OS X does not run on 68k ;-)

Danamania has managed to get Mac OS X to boot on a 25MHz Centris 650 using Debian and PearPC! The OS is expected to be fully up and running in about … 7 days ;-)

Switcher FAQ No. 1: Where’s $KEY on that Keyboard?

I think every single person I’ve talked to after they switched to the Mac platform has asked this question. It’s particularly difficult for people with German keyboards since all the characters Unix people and programmers usually need such as tilde, backslash, braces, and brackets are not printed on the keyboard and only accessible using Option or Option-Shift. But fortunately, Mac OS X comes with a little tool to help you figure out where all those keys are:
Keyboard Viewer.

It can be enabled in System Preferences / International / Input Menu. This will automatically place the Input Menu (that’s the little menu with the flag icon) into your menu bar, containing an entry for Keyboard Viewer. In Keyboard Viewer, just press any of the modifier keys (Shift, Option, Option-Shift) to see the key mappings.

If that was too fast, here’s a little movie to show you how it’s done.
