VMWare Fusion 2.06 hits the streets

by Mel Martin (RSS feed) on Oct 2nd 2009 at 3:30PM

VMWare has pushed out another update to Fusion, the popular virtualization app.

Version 2.06 was released yesterday. The 289 MB download includes multiple fixes for running Fusion in a 32-bit Snow Leopard environment. The release includes enhancements for better 3D performance on Macs with Nvidia cards under Snow Leopard.

There are also the usual assortment of other bug fixes.

You can download the update here for free if you're a registered Fusion user. You can get detailed release notes from VMWare at this page. Users who upgrade should note that VMWare Tools does not automatically update when you do the upgrade. You'll have to install the tools from the Fusion menu bar.

When I opened my older version of Fusion this morning I was not alerted to the update, which was a bit of a surprise. Your mileage may vary, so I and am passing the info along to you in case you don't get flagged on it.

Happy downloading.

I have a new TV show for my own top five favorites.

The Fringe is a new show on Fox networks, I just watched the encore of the pilot episode last night and I must say that I'm quite impressed. I hope that they can continue the same story, acting, and production quality into and through the season and don't suffer the same fate that other terrific shows of late have. (Firefly to be one).

So I've installed it ([IPhone 2.1 Update](http://www.apple.com/iphone/softwareupdate/)), and so has my wife and it has definitely improved our signal at home. Not only that, backups are faster and a lot of the apps that I've randomly had crash on me haven't yet.

Getting organized

It's about time I try and get some structure in place to organize my rats-nest of a brain and memory. So, being the computer geek that I am, I'm going to look at something GTD-ish and that doesn't get too much in my way. The trick is that it needs to be simple and something that I can keep up with without 'thinking' that it's too much more work than what I'm struggling through now.

From what I've found it seems the big GTD apps for the mac out there are these:

Things
OmniFocus

Or at least they're what I found most readily. So I'm off to try them out, and it's good to see that they both have plans in the works to provide IPhone apps, though I'm surprised they're behind on the whole multi-computer sync thing..that's a big thing for me to try and solve.
