Connecting to the Remote Windows Console with Mac’s RDP Client

Ever needed to connect to the remote console of the machine rather than running through a terminal services session so that you could install certain software, or reset stuck terminal services sessions from a remote location? All you have to do is type /console behind the host in the window.

Apple Certified Technician

Tech ID

YAY! I am now an official Apple Certified Technician.

I went for my first exam in North Carolina, and then took my final exam up here in Madison, passing with one-hundred percent.  Since I am employed at an official AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider), I have access to GSX and Apple’s Tier 2 support.  Awesome.

Spread the Word: Download FireFox 3

Download Day - English

 

Download FireFox 3 and help set a world record! A side benefit is that you get a better browser for Windows, and it makes it easier for us designers/programmers to develop better websites. Totally unrelated to this project is Safari, another browser that is built by Apple Computer, and I usually use it exclusively. It is fast, secure, and passes the acid3 browser test.

Apple’s Website = Web 2.0 Perfection

According to this article here:

Apple’s design has always used a great balanced combination of tone (darks), rich effects and colour to draw the eye.

It may be the most perfectly designed web site there is, in my opinion.

sudo: port: command not found

Include the following lines in .bash_login (if you are using the bash shell)

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin
export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/opt/local/share/man
export INFOPATH=$INFOPATH:/opt/local/share/info

Then try:
sudo port -d selfupdate

If that works, you can install other packages by running:
sudo port install <package_name>
