eXtensions: Mac OS X in Thailand

Some Brief Notes First. . . .

• Notes from Apple's WWDC, June 2009. See also MacWorld 09, Mac World 2008, and MacWorld 07.

• The articles I wrote for the Bangkok Post, Database, on System Preferences in OS X, 10.5, Leopard, are now available in PDF format (4 files) and in the ePub format (zip file).

• I have put an eXtensions RSS widget online for convenience.

• For the weekly podcast, copy and paste this -- www.extensions.in.th/postpod/extensions.xml -- in the "Advanced" menu of iTunes, or in the place provided in any other suitable application. You may now also use a Feedburner link. The texts of the podcasts are also online.

• See also the eXtensions Bangkok Diary

• I keep being asked about where to buy Macs, so I asked the country director and he sent the proper link, but if that is down, here is a copy of the entire country list (Updated Sep 08) in a basic text format.

• A link to non-Mac images I have put online
