What the Hell, Apple?

November 17, 2013 11:45:10.670

The latest OS X has worked well for me, but I just wasted an hour because the OS install left the (now non-functional) GarageBand 6 in place, leaving it to me to figure out that I needed to fire up the App Store and download the new one (which did no appear as an update - I just had to install it). They might as well have locked the app in a drawer in a sub-basement over in alpha centauri, where I could easily find the information....

Update: As an added bonus, the new GarageBand just hangs with a beachball of death. Awesome

Amber 0.12 Released

November 12, 2013 8:34:34.502

Amber is out with more cool stuff:

After 3 months of work we are pleased to announce the 0.12.0 release of Amber. Besides the usual bug fixes a lot of new features have emerged. The biggest change is the switch to RequireJS to specify Amber package dependencies and to load the packages as AMD modules. Amber is now additionally available as Bower [2] component. Bower is also used to manage required JavaScript libraries which don't have to be kept around in the repository anymore.

That's just the first paragraph of highlights; follow the link for more.
