I won a free song from ITMS. I thought about getting “Eye of the Tiger” in tribute, but I ended up getting “Common People”.

Default Folder has already released a Tiger-friendly upgrade. Though you may not actually need it thanks to the addition of Spotlight to open/save file dialogs: the feature which really made my day.

I had problems with the iPhoto keyword plugin and the GPGMail plugin for Mail.app. That’s all.

I had awful times with Jaguar, owing to a conflict with Default Folder, so I’ve taken to waiting a few days to see what problems are reported, but it sounds like the water’s fine.

Got mine through the Education section of the online Apple Store. I installed it late last night/early this morning, and things are fine – although the whole system seems a little more responsive. While I have a G4 iMac, I’m sure Tiger is really optimised for G5 Macs, so they should see an even bigger boost.

I’m going to hold out for OS 10.5. Liger will be designed for its skills and magic.

3 days for croissants? Try the recipe in Vol. 2 of Mastering the Art of French Cooking. It takes about 12 hours in elapsed time, but about ten minutes total work. It is tricky to figure out the right timing for fresh croissant in the morning, but manageable with only one wake-up in the small hours.

First thoughts on Tiger

When I got onto this computer at London’s Apple store, I noticed a blog entry apparently written by someone apparently using this very computer. Yesterday I was one of the people who queued halfway round the block to get in to get a first glimpse of …

you have a nice day, and the cat should suffer?

I thought you’d got past all that substitutionary atonement stuff from your disreputable youth.

Hi there,

I just got Tiger as well, what are your impressions?

I’m impressed, although if anyone is using a virtual desktop hack like Desktop Manager or Virtue, disable it, turn it off, and remove it from the list of programs that execute at startup before installing Tiger. (Trust me, the weird focus problems you run into otherwise are just too awful)

Luckily disabling those programs fix the problem.
