Another Parallels update Build 1970
Well those crazy kids at Parallels have been at it again, today I found another release of their amazing Windows on a Mac and other OS Virtulisation software.
So it seemed rude not to install it immediately and it killed a few cycles at work, shhh. Build 1970 has come hot on the heels of the last big public release, that sounds Dirty... Oaten who ? The last big public release 1966.
The last big addition to the feature set covered an update to the networking stack. They added an additional mode that allows the Guest machine to apparently always connect to a network even when the Host machine is logged onto a PEAR type VPN, like the Cisco VPN using the proprietary VPN Client.
Usually when connected to this system it knocks out the rest of your computers network connections like those to the web and including those being used by a guest OS like parallels in Bridged mode. The latest upgrade to parallels means that if your host machine is logged onto such a restrictive VPN it shouldn't effect the guests network connection, however it will still stop it accessing the Host computer via the network.
Stupid chicken.
The other upgrade that popped up recently, is a further update to textmate. Checking the release notes, I spotted this diamond of an update:
That means no more pumpkin icon, :-( however I whilst doing some reading around also heard that textmate wasn't the only quirky app on All Hallows Eve, Quicksilver (The amazing application launcher + so much more from blacktree.com also got all dressed and obviously there was the obligatory google image makeover.
