New MacBook Pro runs “much” cooler (I’m adding quotes because I have no idea how much 20°F is, and I’d rather leave the conversion as an exercise to the French reader than check for myself). Which might just as likely mean that Apple fixed their thermal paste application guidelines.

Also, there’s been dramatic discrepancies between models of the same generation before, and that test was done on one machine of each revision, so the data is quite insufficient to draw any kind of conclusion, actually.

The main use of FTP in this world is uploading web pages; OS X, faithful to its Unix roots, hides .htaccess files from the Finder. Why can’t I find a Mac FTP application that will automatically rename files from htaccess.txt (or something else) to .htaccess when I upload them? I’m forced to use Path Finder to manage my websites (setting the Finder to display hidden files is not an option, it makes a mess of everything, including the desktop), and I hate using Path Finder — it’s bloated and slow and annoying and not worth its price for a second.

I know I’m not the only webdesigner developing on a local hard drive and mirroring to the remote server (that’s what Transmit’s DockSend is for), so how on earth can I be the only one thinking automatic file renaming is required?

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
