Anything else not want to work today?

Ever since I updated QuickTime this morning, nothing on my computer seems to want to work correctly. Not only did QuickTime break my appearance preferences, it broke every other god damn one I have stored on my Mac. And no, I am not bullshitting that. I’ve been working the whole day to try and fix the damage. Everything but my theme is back to normal. I just don’t get how updating QT could break my theme program, Shapeshifter from Unsanity. I’ve had no problems with it until 7:10 this morning, after my computer rebooted from installing the QT update. Now finder and a bunch of other random apps are no longer themed. My other programs are showing up as they should so why the hell isn’t Finder and iTunes and iCal (just to name a few)? I’ve tried reapplying the theme and rebooting multiple times and even that won’t seem to fix it. I’ve checked to see if it’s the theme and it’s not. I’ve rebuilt all my chase files – not that either. Startup items, nope. Now I’m stuck seeing the butt ass ugly Aqua 10.4.11 theme randomly on applications. And incase you couldn’t tell, I’m pretty damn pissed off.

If anyone has any troubleshooting ideas, please, please, comment. I almost threw the keyboard at the monitor an hour ago.

Update: Finally got the son of a bitch working again. Now time to sleep.

Falconaire Outage

With any luck this might draw some people searching for what happened to the Falconaire online.

The site went down two days ago and we believe we have located the source of the error. We’re waiting to hear back from out hosting’s support line and with luck they’ll be able to fix it. Don’t worry, we’re doing all we can and hope to get the site back up as soon as possible and are trying to save what we can in case of a worst case scenario.

On behalf of the Falconaire staff, we apologize for any inconvenience.

Update 4-18-08: We have changed our host and are currently in the process of restoring everything from the ground up. It’s going painfully slow but we are sending masses of emails each day, trying to get all the bugs worked out and the site back.

We apologize for how long this has been taking and thank you for your interest and support.

Update 4-21-08: Good news! We got posts showing up so we should be back up and running by next week with luck.

In memorandum…

This past Sunday (March 9th), a well known – and friend of many – student of the MRHS community was killed in a car accident on a local road. Ryan was a senior who was loved by many and his passing is a substantial blow blow to to our school’s community. I’ll admit I never had the honor of meeting him in person but such a tragic death deserves respect. Rest in peace, Ryan for you shall never be forgotten.
