Chatting on an Apple Mac

Well as im working my way thru the world of Apple I tried some chat applications. The first one to try was offcourse ichat(comes with the OS). The fun was only short to be honest. I don’t know anyone with a mac and as far as I know you’ll need one to be able to use this program. So I installed amsn , with this I was able to chat but i still had no video , however the voice chat was really good. Then I tried Skype , this was a direct hit. Very easy to use and instandly setup (already had an account) The video images from my buildin webcam also worked perfectly fluent! So for now I will use Skype. As I’m still interested in Ichat maybe you wanna connect with me so I can give it a try. Maybe theres an easy way to connect to some chatroom with it so I can try it’s funcitonality?

Apple Imac

It’s been some time ago since i’ve written anything on this blog. Main reason was that my old pc broke down. I had some spare time to kill investigating what pc I was going to buy. I’ve finally come to a decision and bought an Apple Imac with a 24″ screen. So far so good. The machine performs really well and has a great screen and looks…. I still have to get used to the os (Operating System) but it seems that i’m going to love it ;-) I bought the machine last week so I had some time to play around with it. I will try and keep you updated on my transfer from Windows to OS X. For now the only issue is that I cannot (yet) connect to my work in a proper way , but hey I haven’t really made any effort for that during easter :-) What I like most at the moment is that it’s so easy to connect hardware to. I hooked up a Lacie firewire drive and my ipod and it just works. Also the wireless router i’ve bought (also Apple) was really easy to configure (just a few mouseclicks).. What an experience. I tried making a widget also and to my own surprise I succeeded :-) It was a really simple coundown widget (thanks HowTube for the great tutorial podcast) but I might build a more usefull one in the near future.Things to do for now :

1 Get a connection to my work (need an mac ICA client) probably just download and install….

2 Get windows installed on my mac (still need it for MS office, might buy office 2008 for the mac)

3 Install World of Warcraft (should just run since it says so on the box)

4 Get to know some people with a mac so i can test ichat ( Mac is not used by any of my friends)…If you have any nice applications I should really try please let me know !!!
