For those of you coming to this site looking for PS3 themes, I apologize.

I had plans to put together a site where people can download free themes, but haven’t had the time for it. I hope to get something up in the next few months for the post holiday PS3 owners.

I’ll be picking up a 40GB version myself.

Go Sony!

TinkerTool is another great shareware application that gives you access to preference settings that are hidden in OS X. It’s very useful for tweaking your systems, especially for older models where you want to reduce as much resources as possible when running OS X Server.

One example would be to disable Widgets from being activated, which can often happen by accident. Widgets may be useful, but they are enormous memory hogs that you’ll want to avoid in a server setting.

Other tweaks of interest is the ability to turn off extraneous eyecandy within the Finder that can slow down your system.

In case you haven’t heard, Mike Bommbich’s Carbon Copy Cloner is up to version 3.

This is a really great piece of software for creating backups and images of your drive. It’s very useful for scheduling backups automatically so you’ll be ready in the unfortunate event of catastrophic drive failure. Things fall apart you know.

It will also come in very handy in case you mess something up while tinkering within the guts of OS X Server.

The OS X Server 10.4 (Tiger) Tutorial sections 1 through 5 are now up.

It goes over basic requirements needed to get your server up and running, followed by lessons on setting up DNS services and Apple’s Open Directory. Click here for the tutorials.

This is the first run of this tutorial so I’m sure there are typos and mistakes here and there, but I’ll be editing and refining it as I go along. Feel free to ask questions and take part in discussions.

Speaking of which, I’ll get a Bulletin Board up soon to supplement the comments section.

If you recognized this song featured on a recent Cadillac commercial, it means you’re old. The ad exec knows how to relate to his demographics. Long live the 90’s!

The funny thing is that one of my first cars was a beat up old Cadillac that was passed down from my father to my brother and then to me. It lasted all of 6 months before it was scrapped.

Would I ever buy another Cadillac? Probably not.
