Team,

I have some very sad news to share with all of you. Steve passed away earlier today.

Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.

We are planning a celebration of Steve’s extraordinary life for Apple employees that will take place soon. If you would like to share your thoughts, memories and condolences in the interim, you can simply email rememberingsteve@apple.com.

No words can adequately express our sadness at Steve’s death or our gratitude for the opportunity to work with him. We will honor his memory by dedicating ourselves to continuing the work he loved so much.

I’m taking the iRacing 2.0 NTM coming out to make some changes. I’ve run up www.BustaWrench.com to be the new home of Setups, Guides and Crew Chief Corner.

For the t ime being things will stay the same here til I can get redirects setup so that folks can find what they want.

Most of the old setups aren’t worth keeping with the new tires, so the new site will be starting fresh with new setups. There are already some up there for the HPD and Ford GT.

Cheers,

Shane

With a few projects in the works around creating setups and crew chief duties for Sim Racing, I thought it might be a good idea to give Busta his own site. www.BustaWrench.com

Not a lot there yet but working on some updates to existing printable setup sheets and the ebook of course.

Feel free to let me know of any ideas, thoughts or things you’d like to see.

Cheers,

Shane

I know I’m posting a few videos of late. Truth is our house is up for sale and my iRacing rig has been dismantled til we finish the move.

Hopefully that won’t take too long and in the mean time I’m pulling together a comprehensive shopping list of items I want to include in the new rig.

In the mean time I’m still looking out for interesting iRacing news and other tid-bits.

Enjoy!

I back up my Mac daily using Time Machine and try to keep it in good working order. That being said things begin to slow down after a while and I don’t have the time right now to do a full re-install.

With Lion just around the corner I was looking for a solution to help me get on top of maintenance tasks with my poor 2 1/2 year old Macbook.

I tried a few demo’s of different programs that each did a few things well, but didn’t have everything I wanted. I don’t mind paying for good software and I think I finally found what I was after.

Enter MacKeeper, I first found it when looking for a solution to help with deleting programs while also deleting all the sundry files that programs create as they do their thing.

Then I found out it does a lot of what I had other apps to do. It’ll find duplicate files, of which I found out I had thousands, taking up a bunch of space. It will also reclaim space used by languages you have no interest in and if you are real keen on finding new space it will also strip out the PPC bits of applications (or I386 if you have an older machine) leaving just what’s needed to run on your hardware.

I’ve been very pleased with it so far and have still to dive right into it to see what else it can do. I can see it has anti-virus and anti-theft which will even take a photo of the scum bag who stole your laptop which is pretty cool.

One pleasant thing I found out after buying it is that you’re license is also good for PCKeeper so you can run the PC equivalent up on your Windows machine and fine tune that mess.

There’s a 15 day trial available and this software goes on my recommend list. You can get it HERE
Cheers,
Shane
