On the save dialog “save” and “cancel” couldn’t foccused with the tab key. One had to use the mouse. Seems Apple thought of that being wise or something, thankfully the left an option to change this behaviour. All you have to do is to check “All controlls” at the bottom while hilighting “All applications”.

For me it was tugzip that stopped working.

(again). Really, I can’t keep a new Mac longer than a few months. It sucks to be a operating system nomad, but I allways strive for the perfect setup. Now I am waiting for the next Macbook/Macbook Pro generation. With the new Intel Core 2 Duo CPU - codename “Merom”. This one I’ll keep for at least… oh well..

Yes, it’s finally here but I have no time to play with it. First “Betriebsysteme” now “Stochastik, IST, Analytische Geometrie, Rechnerarchitekturen and Operationsresearch” and after that “Softwaretechnik”. And I’ll have to put Windows on my sweet Macbook - what a shame.

It turned out it was the bfobserver daemon used for distributed network builds (distcc?). As allways google had the answer. It was this post on the apple mailing list Evil Post. As you may imagine, we read about disabling the daemon (using the wrong way). And yes, disbaling _ALL_ your daemons is a bad thing(tm). On the bright side, I learned a lot about the boot process of OSX :)
