Heute hatte ich ein seltsames Problem mit AirPort auf meinem Mac. Und zwar konnte ich AirPort nicht mehr über das Menüelement deaktivieren. Es passierte einfach gar nichts, wenn der Befehl ausgewählt wurde.
Nach kurzer Suche fand ich den Grund in den AirPort-Settings. Wobei dies nicht unbedingt die Ursache ist, aber zumindest das “gewünschte” Verhalten zurückbrachte.
Recently I had some troubles with my Doom 3 game being f*cked up a little. One of the issues was, that the resolution has been reset to 640×480 pixel and I could only change it back to 1024×768 pixel the max.
However, I was able to fix it and playing in pretty widescreen again. Here is what you need to do for your custom screen settings:
This is the third and last post about hacks in Apple’s Pages I needed to make use of when I wrote my term paper. Well, this time you cannot really talk about a “Hack” – it’s more a short How-to for anyone having this question/ issue.

I was very busy writing a term paper for my study for the degree in information technology & economics recently. I decided writing the paper with Apple’s Pages (Apple’s word processor within their iWork suite) – and what I do not regret. The document simply looks fabulous!
However, you still notice that the application is young, compared for example to Microsoft’s Office Word. Thus it lacks some features that you might deal with when using it extensivly. I am going to document a few of such missing features and the hacks I used to get around them in a short blog-post series.
