Sail The World

“Manchmal fällt es einer Generation zu, groß zu sein. Du kannst diese großartige Generation sein.“

Ever since I set up my sisters new/used MacMini, Netflix movies stop loading at 98% and then show error code N8156-6023. The Netflix support site is useless and suggests a network problem where in fact it is a problem with Silverlight. After checking my network setup over and over again, I found that the solution was to delete a file called “mspr.hds” located in /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/PlayReady/. You can find this solution a little hidden away on the Apple Support Communities site posted by iCare here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3937926?start=0&tstart=0

Thank you iCare and Happy Netflixing!

After all this ugly weather lately I decided to trade my sailboat for a submarine. Luckily there is no weather under water.

This thing is very difficult to single hand so I’m looking for crew. Contact me if you are interested.

The other day I discovered iNudge on the web and I was immediately drawn in by this application. After creating a few Nudges I felt like I needed something more. Yesterday I started playing with Garageband that came with my MacBook. Here are the first results and hopefully I have some more creations soon.

….or should I keep my daytime job?
