My hot topic at the end of that January was the introduction of the Unified log in Sierra. Also in January 2017, XProtect was updated to version 2087, and it’s currently at 2153. I could hardly believe it.įive years ago, on 18 January 2017, Apple pushed updates to MRT bringing it to version 1.14 last week MRT 1.86 was released. That year this blog became steadily more popular, clocking up 335,000 views and 160,000 visitors. “Despite still making a record quarterly profit of $18.4 billion – that’s approaching half of its total profit for the whole of 2014, and sufficient to buy the gold reserves of the UK twice over (end 2014 value) – because its growth has slowed, the doom-mongers are waging words again.” That was when Tim Cook – who clearly wasn’t cut out to run Apple, and would soon be gone, said his critics – revealed that Apple’s “installed base recently crossed a major milestone of one billion active devices.” It may seem hard to believe now, but six years ago we were still in the “Apple is doomed” years. The updates may have changed greatly, but Apple’s absent documentation hasn’t. And that took over half a gigabyte to deploy?” Apple listed just two bug fixes and nine security patches. But when the release notes and security announcement arrived, well after I had already updated, I was very puzzled.

Six years ago, on 20 January 2016, I looked inside OS X 10.11.3, only to discover that there was a great deal more that had changed than Apple had admitted: “When Apple released its latest update to OS X, to bring it to version 10.11.3, I was impressed that it was a goodly size, over 600 MB.

But good news followed, when I started contributing the Genius Tips section to “the best Mac print magazine on the planet, MacFormat.” I’ve not long written that section for issue 376, my 81st, and I believe that it’s now syndicated to Mac|Life magazine too.Īt the end of that first year of the Eclectic Light Company, this blog had been viewed 76,000 times by nearly 30,000 visitors. On 13 December 2015, I reported the unexpected death of my own 27-inch iMac. One of the first was to report on Yosemite version 10.10.2, Mavericks 10.9.5 and Mountain Lion 10.8.5 security updates.Īt the end of that first year, disaster struck. Watching OS X updates quickly became an established duty. Although long since decommissioned, that RAID system still sits just behind my production Mac. I soon found some tender spots, such as when my own Promise Pegasus external RAID had problems. I shut everything down again, checked connections and reseated the drives in the RAID, powered it up, then the iMac.

To my horror, three of the four drives then showed red lights, indicating hardware failure. iMac and RAID were moved gently, reconnected, and powered up. Before doing anything, I checked that the RAID system was fully up to date, and shut it down using the supplied (and current) Promise Utility app. Q I rearranged the room in which my iMac and Promise Pegasus Thunderbolt RAID R4 live. Red lights = dead drives = broken Promise? There was even the occasional glimpse of my own work, a mistake I didn’t repeat too often.

I quickly established how eclectic this was to be, with a series of articles on Truth in (landscape) painting, which featured paintings by Poussin, Constable and Cézanne in rapid succession. I published my first articles here seven years ago, and since then seldom a day has passed that I haven’t added to that number. That was my cue to set this blog up, primarily as a platform for me to publish updated versions of articles which had appeared in the magazine which had just vanished into oblivion. On Friday 16 January 2015, MacUser magazine, the original UK title, ceased publication.
