Back around the turn of the millennium the Mac jumped lightyears ahead of it's competition with the introduction of Mac OS X. However, this jump also meant leaving a wealth of software from the Classic Mac OS era behind. To offset the inevitable, Apple left the door open for running Classic Mac OS software during the first few iterations of Mac OS X through the aptly named 'Classic Environment'. Though the days of the Classic Environment are long gone, recent versions of Mac OS X still have the ability to run Classic Mac OS software through the use of emulators.

Introducing Yosemite Classic, the proper way to dress up your Classic Mac OS emulators.

Yosemite Classic consists of a collection of icons designed using the official colors of each separate iteration of Mac OS, the concept of the original Classic Environment icon, and the polish introduced with Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite. The icons pay respect to both the past, present and future of Mac OS, and they look right at home next to Finder in the dock where the Classic Environment once resided.

Take a trip down memory lane!

Version History:
Version 1.2:
- Added icon for Mac OS X.
- Gradient of the Mac OS 8 icon intensified due to visual discrepancy.

Version 1.1:
- Added icons for Mac OS 8, Mac OS 7, and Mac OS 6.

Version 1.0:
- Initial release.

Following through with keeping my software current and up to date both here at Mednotes.net as well as at MacUpdate.com, I'm making my Vox 0.2.7 Yosemite Compatibility Update available over at MacUpdate.com as well today.

For those of you who prefer a more recent version of Vox and don't mind the background daemons and the monthly subscription fee, Coppertino has polished Vox wonderfully for recent versions of Mac OS X. For the rest of us, Vox 0.2.7 Yosemite Compatibility Update is here to save the day!

Crank it up!

Three days after our first Siberian kitten NO*Trans-Siberia Lily moved to her new home, I got a frantic call from her new owner. The youngest child in their household sadly had developed a cat allergy. They were not willing to try medication, nor were they willing to wait out the next couple of months until Lily becomes truly hypoallergenic.

So what do you do when one of your babies suddenly face uncertainty, whether it be relocation or euthanasia? For me, the only right thing to do was to welcome Lily back into our family. And, for the shortest while, our little cat family was whole again.

Since then, both of Lily's brothers, NO*Trans-Siberia Milo and NO*Trans-Siberia Nemo, have moved to wonderful new homes. Lily will forever stay here with us.

Who knows? Perhaps Lily one day will have a litter of her very own...

Despite Apple's best efforts, Hardcover 2 pushes forwards with a brand new release. Hardcover 2.2 adds the much requested contrast between the foreground track information and the background frequency spectrum in Hardcover [Aurora]. Version 2.2 also brings major codebase reorganization and performance optimization ensuring the best possible experience on any Mac you decide to run it on.

Smooth sailing!

New in Hardcover 2.2:
- Added highly requested contrast between the track information and the frequency spectrum in Hardcover [Aurora].
- Performed major performance optimization ensuring that Hardcover runs perfectly smooth on any Mac sporting an Intel processor (and hopefully also on any supported Mac sporting a PPC processor).
- Performed major codebase reorganization.

Keeping my software up to date across the web has proven to be quite a daunting task. Not only has it become virtually impossible to keep track of every single last web site providing links to my software, but whether or not those web sites are maintaining separate copies of my software on their own servers and whether or not those web sites keep those copies updated, has complicated an already almost impossible task tenfolds.

As such, I have gradually accepted my faith that the web as a whole is outside my reach, and shifted my focus to ensuring that my software is updated here at Mednotes.net as well as on the largest third-party platform for Macintosh software, MacUpdate.com.

However, it recently has come to my attention that my EMUlaunch Front Row Skin disappeared from the MacUpdate database during their server migration earlier this spring. Today I am righting this wrong, and my EMUlaunch Front Row Skin should now yet again be available over at MacUpdate.com.

Enjoy!

And just like that, all of our Siberian kittens have been adopted to new safe and loving homes.

I would like to thank all the wonderful people we have met on this amazing journey, and wish each of the kittens' new families the best of luck with their furry new family members!

We are not planning any additional litters as of the current moment. But in case our plans change, feel free to drop by Trans-Siberia.net from time to time.

Our wonderful Siberian cat 'Lolli' gave birth to three divine purebred Siberian kittens this easter, and they are quickly growing up to become true heartbreakers! Our journey with them is now nearly halfway done, and they will be ready for a new place to call home already by the last weekend of June 2019.

If you want to take a peek at these adorable little tabbies, pictures and details are now available over at Trans-Siberia.net. And if you by any chance live in Norway and would like to come visit (or adopt ) one of these hypoallergenic wonders, feel free to drop me a line

Sometime during the spring of 2017 Mednotes.net thundered past it's 1,000,000th distributed medical compendium. It's a shamefully late celebration, I know. But you know what they say...

...better late than never

I'm lost for words when trying to comprehend the sheer quantity of my works that have been downloaded over the years, even more so when factoring in the rate of secondary physical replication in markets I still keep tabs on. And it truly blows my mind when even trying to wrap my head around the very real possibility of a similar rate of secondary replication occurring in all the markets I have no insight into.

I have to admit I'm a little shocked from the frequency I still meet my notes in real life, whether in corner coffeehouses, in student libraries, or brought to my doctor's office by my actively studying patients. And this has been quite the reality check for me, especially considering my initial long-term strategy of retiring the web site once it turned 10 years old. But the web site is still hanging in there, going on it's 13th year...

...and we're now both in it for the long run

So thank you so much, every single one of you, for all the kind words though the years, for all the donations keeping this web site up running, and, most of all, for all your relentless motivation to become the best possible health professionals you can be!

Sometime during the course of the past couple of years the contact form here at Mednotes.net, once again, has gone down for the count. The problem is the same this time around as back in both 2013 and 2016, and there seemingly is no reliable way for me to prevent this from happening again and again in the future.

It saddens me to think about all the questions, requests and well-wishes I neither have been able to read nor respond to during this time. And I can do nothing more than to extend my most sincere apologies to all of you who have spent your precious time writing to me.

To prevent this from ever happening again, I therefore feel I have no other choice but to remove the contact form from the web site for the time being.

And for those of you still needing to reach out to me, all my contact details are, as always, available at the very top of the on-site CV.

Stay in touch!

I'm proud to announce that our gorgeous long-haired silver/black-tabby Siberian cat 'Lolli' is expecting kittens this spring. This will be Lolli's only litter, and the very first litter in the 'Trans-Siberia'-lineage of purebred hypoallergenic Siberian cats. The kittens will be born sometime during the first week of April, and will be ready for new adventures with new families already this summer.

So if you live in Norway and have always dreamt of a cute, warm and fuzzy little furball in your home, head over to Trans-Siberia.net for more information, pictures and updates once these bundles of joy arrive.

Get catified!
