Leopard First Impressions

Thursday, October 25, 2007

  • If you squint your eyes and look to the side of your monitor, Leopard is actually quite attractive.

    • VirtualHostX is broken at the moment. That’ll be fixed as soon as I roll out Apache 2 support.

    • The new iCal is hot. I love that there is now a physical separation between local and subscribed calendars.

    • I just noticed all pop-up menus have rounded corners - feels very Web 2.0 inspired.

    • My PHP5/MySQL install got borked. Solution:

      • sudo mkdir /var/mysql
      • sudo ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock
      • Enable PHP5 /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf (line 114)
      • Add your vhosts to /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
    • Why does the Finder sidebar use the traditional special folder icons when the actual folder icons are the ugly-cant-tell-them-apart-ones? (Can’t wait for Candybar to start working.)

    • When you look at the translucent menu bar by itself, it’s sort of nice. But if there’s a window pushed up against it the transparency really stands out and looks strange. It’s not a good contrast.

    • I just used iChat’s new screen sharing function to help a co-worker from across the room. Normally I have to get up and walk over there. Not any more!

    • What the crap?? Command-tabbing doesn’t rotate back around when you reach the end of the application list. Wait. False alarm. It does - just not when you use the arrow keys to move through the list.

I’ll be posting more initial thoughts throughout the day.
