Hello, My name is JAYME.

I’ve been a good little Mac user and doing my software updates every week but occasionally I’ll get an error when trying to install the actual updates. I get the following message: The update “QuickTime” can’t be saved. You do not have appropriate access privileges. The Installer package has been moved to the Trash. To try again, open the package from the Finder. I’ve most recently gotten that same message except it was for “iTunes”. Luckily the same fix works for both. Just go to your /library/updates directory and delete the folder for either QuickTime or iTunes, which ever one is being the culprit - and try downloading/installing the update again.

As my business has grown beyond leaps and bounds over the past year, I’m getting more and more inquiries. Job requests such as database structuring and php work are becoming frequent, but I keep turning them down. Why you ask? For starters, I truthfully do not know how to write php, ruby or any other dynamic programming languages and really don’t have the desire to learn them. Secondly, it can create a stressful situation when outsourcing this type of work to contractors, especially if you only know the contractor through the Internet. Dependable programmers are rare and typically hard to find as well. While most web entrepreneurs advise me to make the big bucks, a web development company must embrace both the creative beauty of making a website as well as the functional side, I beg to differ. I think it’s important to recognize your strengths and continue to improve upon them. Some would say that you should try to improve upon a weakness - I wouldn’t consider programming a weakness at all - just an area of expertise that I do not have. Maybe when there’s a demand for back-end work I’ll add such a member to our team, but right now the numbers aren’t urging it.

I have been transformed. I said for years that I had no reason to stop using my PC since the software differences were so insignificant that it would be pointless to shell out the money for an Apple. Then one day I woke up and there was Windows Vista. I read all the negative reviews about how buggy and unstable Vista appeared to be. I knew that one day Windows XP would no longer be supported. That definitely seemed to be the catalyst to get me to visit the refurbished Mac store. Now a month after receiving my Mac I couldn’t be happier about the transition from Windows to Leopard. I highly recommend it to anyone that spends a lot of time on a computer especially for business purposes.

If the power goes out and you are fresh out of batteries and candles, here’s an alternative! All you need is a Mountain Dew, some baking soda and 3 caps of hydrogen peroxide. Check out the video to see it in action.
