I love that months after leaving Apple they published a KB article I wrote several months prior to leaving.
Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server: How to mount a volume as read-only
While I’m taking note, here’s some others I forced through during my tenure:
- Mac OS X Server: NetBoot Clients Cannot Start Up From Server (NetBoot Troubleshooting)
- Mac OS X Server: About Inherit Permissions
- Mac OS X Server 10.2 and later: How to change default file permissions for the FTP service
- QuickTime Streaming Server and Darwin Streaming Server: iTunes Store Files Cannot Be Added to a Playlist
- Mac OS X Server 10.3: /var/spool/cups/tmp folder contains thousands of files
- Mac OS X Server 10.2: AFP is required to start Mac OS 9 NetBoot clients
The funny thing about Apple is that you rarely get credit for the work you’ve done. In this case, not only are articles released after I’ve left that I wrote, I’m sure in the internal information someone else is listed as the author (probably the last technical editor) even though I sent the article in. In fact, I’m sure there’s more I’ve written in there but can’t find because the author was changed to whomever edited it instead so it doesn’t come up (that list was partially from memory and partially from me keeping track while I made them; there’s no way to search on author out here in the real world). One more piece of heaven to love about the evil fruit company.
