Here’s a tip for PHP/MySQL developers. Make sure that you have PHP/MySQL installed in your development enviornment. That’s right the 10.2 install broke both PHP and MySQL and the OS X "authority" for these two esential developer tools is Mark from www.entropy.ch and his site happens to not be receiving connections right now.

Rendezvous I’m working on this. Steve showed people "Sharing" iTunes libraries with each other at the keynote with Rendezvous. Why can’t I make this happen?
ASM - one of my favorite utilities for OS X is broken in 10.2
AppleCare Document: 61692: Titled "iPod 1.2: About the Clock" answers the question that kept dozens of iPod users up at night. Why doesn’t the iPod’s clock sync the times with my Mac’s when I connect it to my Mac? A: It does in OS X 10.2. Actually (according to the artcle) you don’t even need to have iTunes running for the iPod’s clock to sync with your Mac’s, It’s automactic. I’ll put this featue to the test after I updated to 10.2.
Does this thing work? I’ll have poke around for some unsolicited opinions.
Hint of the day: When ripping CDs to mp3, it’s almost always good idea to give the business side of the plastic platter a good wipe. Smudges can cause the data to be read incorrectly which may turn into crackles, chirps and other non musical artifacts in the resulting mp3 files. One more thing, CDs are read from the inside out (center to edge) so the data you’re trying to extract is in the middle of the disc — concentrate on cleaining this area of the CD.
If you’re running 10.1 there’s a security update from 8-20, if your running 10.2 (a.k.a. Jaguar), there’s a security update from 8-23. The System prefs panel will take you to the right place.
