Today, I would like to officially launch restoroot.org, and it brings an update for OMiC and a piece of new software.
It also brings this blog. I would like to share here with you more about mac relevant things than I can write on my other blog on java.net.
Now to the new application, currently it addresses two issues:
1. When you come from Microsoft Windows, you know and love this “Map Network Drive” Feature. On Mac OS X you must always mount manually the share, and when the server gets down, you must manually mount it again.
It is even uglier when you use a laptop, then with every location change you must redo the work.
2. Power of Airport and Bluetooth. Again, you use a Laptop to work, and at home you connect over Airport and use your bluetooth mouse, but at the company you use ethernet and so turn airport power off. And in the train or the coffee with the too small table for a mouse, you turn again airport and bluetooth off to save battery.
Currently, it is in beta phase, so please check it out and give me feedback.
