I wouldn’t have thought, but the VGA cable might be the cause why your computer doesn’t correctly recognized your monitor.
It was driving me crazy. My MacBook wasn’t able to use my sister’s display with its native resolution. I tried loads of stuff to get it working. I really needed to use the display. At one point I just switched the cable. And it worked!

As mentioned in my last post, it is not too easy to migrate from a normal Gmail account to a Google Apps account. Lots of tools do not bring satisfying results. The only tool that brought the best results was imapsync. Being a command-line tool, it is not easy to use for most. Hence, I want to ease the usage by providing this step by step tutorial. It is tailored for Mac OS X users. However, there is a very straightforward guide for Windows as well. In fact, my short tutorial is based on that one :)

But I succeeded at the end.

Today, I started to work again with the fast and small but powerful PHP framework Kohana. I used Kohana 1 on a Linux machine years ago but now it’s Kohana 3.1 on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
