Programmatically Disable Notification Center in Mountain Lion (aka My Battery Life Sucks)
There are a few ways I like to extend my battery life on my MacBook Air. These days, it’s increasingly important to conserve battery life as the transition to Mountain Lion (Mac OS X 10.8) has caused my battery life to spiral into so much of a vortex that I am concerned that my laptop must be shooting raw electricity out of the bottom (which would certainly explain why my hair has a tendency to be perpendicular with the ground when I exit a plane). Ever since moving to Mountain Lion (yes, this includes 10.8.2), I’m lucky to get 3 hours of battery life out of the Mac that used…

MacTech Conference 2012 In Retrospect
I love going to conferences. MacTech Conference this year is a great example of why. The conference organizers and staff did a superb job, the attendees were top notch and the weather was just right. But it was the same last year in all three regards. What I felt really made MacTech special this year was the Disney pixie dust magic coming together with all of that. And I was only there for a day, regrettably… The talent level at these events continues to be top notch.

Restricting Access To Sites On iOS Devices
One of the more common requests we get for iOS devices is to restrict what sites on the web that a device can access. This can be done in a number of ways.

This allows you to have a proxy for HTTP traffic that is persistent across apps. Each Wi-Fi network that you push to devices also has the ability to have a proxy associated as well. This is supported by pretty much every MDM solution, with screens similar to the following, which is how…

Regression Testing Video From MacTech
I made this video for my presentation at MacTech this year. The video demonstrates how to do a mission critical IT role in an organization in an automated fashion. Hopefully it helps you to automate such things in your life as well.

JAMF Nation User Conference 2012
I mentioned the JAMF Nation User Conference on the site before, but now I need to mention it again. Mostly because I’ll now be doing a presentation now. I know, I said I wasn’t going to be doing much public speaking. But the only conference I’ve been to in the last decade that I wasn’t speaking at has been the JAMF Nation User Conference. Sooo, how could I not, when the conference is, after all, in the city I live in! Anyway, my session has been added to the sessions page: http://www.jamfsoftware.com/events/user-conferences/jamf-nation-user-conference-2012/sessions Hope to see you there!
