John C. Welch’s article, On Installers, is linked from Daring Fireball today. He links to me — thank you very much John, for that and for the kind words about my signal-to-noise ratio (whatever my front page says on that score right now) — placing me one jump away from Daring Fireball.
I was a little worried about that until I checked my Web analytics account. Luckily, my link is third to last and at the end of a long article, or my Web host might be having words with me about traffic.
It was very good to be mentioned, and even be situated in auspicious company between Greg and Nigel. All of us are current or former Radmind admins, and as a group I think Radmind admins tend to know a bit about the foibles of vendors’ installers. Along its famous learning curve, Radmind teaches you a lot about the filesystem and about what’s going into it.
Anyway, for anyone completely new here, you can follow the Mac OS X system administration topic on its own — and skip others, like random Python, Mercurial, Western New York sports, Drupal, and personal chatter.
