SMARTReporter 2.3.7: Detect Bad Mac Drives
Fri, 22 Feb 2008 22:23:39
SMARTReporter 2.3.7 is an Open Source Mac OS X utility that can warn you of some hard disk drive failures before they actually happen! It does so by periodically polling the S.M.A.R.T. status of your hard disk drive. I tried it out and found that unlike other similar utilities (for example the SMART monitor that is part of Webmin for Linux systems), it does not provide current status. It just warns you if something is actually wrong.

Newspond: Is This the New Digg?
Tue, 19 Feb 2008 20:24:10
Digg has, IMHO, spread its news coverage area too wide and has lost my interest. Slashdot has, to its credit, maintained its tech focus after being around for over 10 years now but but updates/percolates kind of slowly. I'm hoping that Newspond will be the a good tech news resource. But, it currently draws too much from mainstream sites that, I'll guess, most tech geeks already have in their newsfeed reader.
