MacBook Pro start up trouble

Posted by Sibran - 21/03/07 at 10:03:27 am

I started up my MacBook, and I had a grey screen. PANIC!! Every few seconds, I heard the dvd spinning, and still a grey screen. And more panic!!

After some googling, i found this website, and it works.

Solution:
Insert a business card in the drive and lift it, boot your Mac. The dvd will not spin and after about 10 seconds the disc comes out and your Mac starts normal.

Thx a lot silvermac

Create an icon file, the easy way

Posted by Sibran - 19/03/07 at 05:03:30 pm

A colleague explained me a easy way to create .ico files.

Copy a photoshop plugin in your File Formats folder, and you can open, edit or create your personal icons. A little tip, if you create a icon for your website, the dimensions has to be 16×16 pixels… Yes, it’s for our good browser friend IE.

Making an icon for your website is now very easy:

• Make your icon
• Save as > ICO
• Place your *.ico file in the website root
• Paste this code in your head: <LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="favicon.ico">
• Enjoy
