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/mysqlsudo ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sockEnable 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.
