uptimes!

my uptime (changed from last post due to a kernel panic)
i love to play around in terminal with other people's computers and do something like "sudo chmod ugo= ~" :p
the thing i like to have available in terminal can be done by typing in "alias settitle echo -n "^[]2;!*^G"" at the prompt so everytime you type in "settitle (insert word)", it will change the name of the terminal window to (insert word).
you can also add that to your ~/.tcshrc file using vi or your text editor of choice to make the alias available every time you open a new Terminal window. It's very useful when you have like ten Terminal windows open :)

Shame indeed. :p

Cmd + Shift + 3 takes a shot of your whole screen.

Cmd + Shift +4 gives you crosshairs, allowing you to click-drag and select an area.

Cmd + Shift + 4 then Space lets you select a window/screen widget.

Esc cancels out of all of them.

For more details, open Mac Help (or press Command-?), type "shortcuts for taking pictures of the screen" on the search line, press RETURN, and double-click the first help item listed.

explanation: i don t own a mac , but in school., if one is free i m always working on them.
i never had to take a screeny :D
btw, i allways use man pages and what i want to say by that is,. the RTFM is not really a good point , as i m doing so , mostly ...
 
well, I had to restart the server, because a ram-module has becomen unstable.
Here is my new uptime. It s not really good, but it is not that bad either ;-)
 
Only 2 days here on my iBook, I rebooted to install the AirPort update. I don't even use AirPort! I just installed the thing so that Software Update doesn't keep asking me to install it (yeah I know you can disable it), and so that if I ever get an AirPort it will work straight away :) Besides, I'm on a reasonably fast connection so why not?
 
:mad: I turned off my PowerBook this morning to install an Airport Extreme card that arrived in the post. Do I get a prize for having the most pathetic uptime here?

I suppose the good news is I'm sitting in the living room typing this :)

I always do every update. Anyway which one, even if i can t use the software.
It has perhaps a few bugs less, and some minor securtiy fixes.

BTW, apple seems to take the way m$ is leading. for more and more updates you ll have to restart. :( i hate that. just look at linux. as long as nothing is changed in the kernel, you don t have to restart. If they release serious bug or security fixes, the just recall the module, or make a hookup. really apple, there is no need to restart for every little update.
 
My mac (old Power Macintosh 7600/132) is hardly ever on because of the fact that I can do tons more on my PC

My PC is usally on all day (usally in windows xp but sometimes in Mandrake Linux 9.1) and I turn it off at night because of the noise it makes compared to my Pentium 100 Laptop (which I want to replace with a powerbook g4/g5 or an iBook) or my powermac.
 
I never qutie understood this concept

Why waste power? Do you really get that much satisfaction out of having long uptimes? It makes no sense to me.

If you are Folding maybe it's a different story.

Turning a laptop on uses an incredible amount of your battery.

If its sleeping, you don't have to wait a good few minutes for the desktop to appear.

Plus long uptimes make me feel special.

Yeah, and if you take into account the large amount of power used to boot it back up, it almost uses less to put it to sleep :)

I put my iBook to sleep most nights, unless I'm doing a download or something.

my thinkpad usually get 7-14 days uptime... and then i screw with something, my guru won't be around... so i reboot.

nothing worse than hosing your internet config, knowing where to go online to find your answers, but you can't because that hosed config is for the only online capable machine in the house :(
