Vandaag werd bekend dat Apple de broncode voor MacPaint doneert aan het Computer History Museum in California. MacPaint, geschreven door Bill Atkinson bevat 5822 regels met code.
Waarom is dit nu zo belangrijk? Nou, alleen als feitje, verder niet, ware het niet dat onderstaande foto de zaak in de juiste context plaatst:
Foto’s zijn gemaakt op de jaarlijkse WWDC Beer Bash, waar Bill uitgebreid de tijd nam om z’n verhaal te vertellen…
Vorige week kondigde Apple aan dat de Worldwide Developers Conference dit jaar plaats zal vinden van 7 tot en met 11 juni. Vandaag heeft Apple laten weten dat er geen tickets meer voor het evenement in San Francisco beschikbaar zijn. Na acht dagen is het evenement volledig uitverkocht. Het is niet de eerste keer dat alle kaarten verkocht worden, sinds 2008 zit het evenement elk jaar compleet vol.
Well, normally I join the MacSys Admin in Gothenburg, Sweden, but this year I will join the Apple WWDC in San Francisco…..
About my post ‘Broken Again’: After the Xserve came back, we installed 10.6 in a test environment. After a week strange things were happening. Again the raid controller acted strange and DNS & Apache were out of control. I had contact with Apple Care in Ireland several times, and finally the answer came:
Hi Robbert,
‘We will replace this machine for you’
I’m glad that Apple is sensitive for the quote ‘Customer Satisfaction’….
We are in Gothenborg again for this years Mac Sys Admin
Just seen a few WWDC ‘09 sessions about the new Snow Leopard server coming out in September. Apple is finally taking iCal serious, which is great. We have also be waiting for the Mobile Access Server and the other stuff
Well, we have software Maintenance but I think I’m going to wait until update No. 3 or something. First take a test ride..
Well, Sander cough me at the iCentre with a broken server… He was so kind to take a picture… Broken Raid-Card again.. Thank God there’s Apple Care…
After a broken OD & messing around with replica’s and masters, I ‘ve found that probably one of my replica’s has a hardware failure. After publishing all replica’s to standalone and only publisch the first replica’s back in place, (specially not the one that probably has a hardware failure, witch could be one 2 servers ) the master server keeps complaining about ‘ERROR- PasswordService not found’ in Server Admin. I was kind of freaking around to solve this problem, because all the log files seems to be ok. After the first login on a replica from a client, the message disappear… The OD seems to fine, it corrected it self. I can setup new users without errors in Workgroup Manager, everybody gets a Kerberos ticket etc. Strange behaviour…
Last night I’ve found another strange thing… My backup of the OD data used to be about 25 mb. Now it is about 147 mb. When I look closer to the files, it’s the authservermain file (/var/db/authserver) who has grown… When I let another (new) replica join the master domain, it let the above mentioned file grow with another 10 mb. Anyone who has a solution: pleas mail me!
The problem is syncronisation from the password server. The new user doesn’t get a Kerberos ticket. I’ve been messing around for a week now to solv this issue, but going to put back a OD backup next week.
