Aric's Tech Blog

A blog covering all technical issues I come across in my life. Mostly that's bugs and fixes for Windows or Mac OS X. It also covers software development issues I come across my work as a software engineer. I rarely post a problem without a fix, so the main goal of this blog is really to solve problems, not just list them. If you are looking for support for my application Fetch Art, check out my Fetch Art specific blog.
