There. That title ought to get some interest.
It’s time again for this week’s edition of the GGP, and with it the latest update from the Mac Lab Rat.
Leopard
This week was of course Leopard launch week. I’ve put up several ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5]) posts on the subject over the past [...]

Widely publicized already, I felt compelled to add to the chorus when I put this change in. Below are terminal commands you can use to switch back and forth between the new 3-D and 2-D dock configurations.
To enable the 2D Dock, open up a terminal window and enter the following two commands
defaults write com.apple.dock [...]

OK, so apparently I can’t let this go. I did a search for “Mick McGeough” on Google, and one of the first results that comes up is a petition to have McGeough fired. Made me smirk.
Definitely one of the most inconsistent referees in the league, and with over 1000 games under his belt, [...]

The third period was largely uneventful, or at least it seems that way now that I’m sitting on the SkyTrain heading home. The only thing most Canucks’ fans are trying to figure out right now is whether NHL referee Mick McGeough needs bifocals or trifocals.
A controversial play with less than 30 seconds to [...]

After a rather lethargic looking first 10 minutes the Canucks found some life and managed to notch the tying goal.
Unfortunately, the Wings had other ideas and like the first period managed to score in the last minute of the period.
Luongo looked… human on that third Detroit goal, but had already stood on his head for [...]

The Canucks put up a decent effort in the first, but a couple of defensive miscues have us down 2-1.  Its great to be back at a game, I haven’t been to GM Place for a game in about 4 years… I couldn’t believe it [...]

Thank you so much to the security guard on the 100 level who sent a few dozen of us up to the 300 level to go inside. After having waited for 15 mins down below we found that the line was back about a block and a half!
Good to know the crack security team [...]

I’m heading out the door right now walking to the SkyTrain and on to GM Place! I think I’ve got all my live blog bits and pieces set up correct.
Really looking forward to the game. I’m hoping the boys can build on last game’s squeakerr to avenge the loss in the Motor City.

Well that didn’t take long…
BrazilMAC over on the OSx86Scene forums has posted a tutorial on installing Leopard on your stock PC hardware. I don’t see any way that Apple would release a more standard version of OS X… the fact that it only has to run on Apple hardware is part of what makes [...]

Well, I survived the upgrade.  No major challenges.  In fact the hardest thing was finding a CD I was looking for…  but more to come on that.
So far I’m pretty impressed with the performance boost that I’ve gotten from the new OS.  I’ll be doing a longer post on my Leopard experience in the next [...]
