WHO has recently shown that surgical deaths can be reduced by a third when hospitals follow their Surgical Safety Checklist. The checklist is very low tech. It includes questions like whether the patient has been properly identified, whether the proper tools are available, and whether everyone knows what kind of procedure is about to be done.
If a checklist so simple can save so many lives, I thought the technique could surely help us do better as well. So after reading about this study and their checklist, I’ve been pushing us to create checklists for all the common procedures at 37signals.

It’s funny. This is one of those things you know you should be doing, you might even have thought that we should do this, but you never get around to actually creating those checklists.

Last week I got myself a MSI Wind laptop. It’s one of the new small and light laptops that people call netbooks.
My old and trusty Powerbook G4 needed to be replaced and I wanted something easy to carry around the house and bring with me on trips. Naturally I was looking at the new unibody MacBook but even if they are gorgeous and I’m envious of my brother who has one, it’s rather expensive. Don’t get me wrong. I think OS X is the best operating system around and I love Apple designed hardware. However, I already have a MacBook Pro from work that I can use for all the programs that need more computing power so I only need something to keep my personal things on. Buying a new MacBook just for that felt like a waste of money.
The MSI Wind is plenty fast enough for most things and the price is just a third of that of a new MacBook, so for me the decision was easy.
Saturday afternoon I installed OS X on my Wind by following the instructions from the linsec.ca blog. The first problem I got was that I had downloaded the latest version of OSX86Tools which was version 150. Using that version I had no success booting my Wind from the external USB drive containing the restored MSIwindosx.iso image. As soon as I went back to version 149 of OSX86Tools it started to work.
After installing OS X the screen resolution on the Wind was wrong. I fixed that by downloding and installing GMA950.pkg.zip and then rebooting. I’m not sure why this step is needed but I had to do it to get the proper 1024×600 resolution.
My U100 version of the Wind contains a Ralink wireless card which I got to work by downloading the latest drivers from their site.
I upgraded to OS X 10.5.6 through Software Update and after restarting I had, as expected, no working keyboard nor mouse and the resolution was back to 800×600. I attached a keyboard and mouse through USB and followed the instructions from the linsec.ca blog. After another reboot I had working keyboard and mouse again, but I had to reinstall the GMA950 package and reboot to get back to 1024×600.
All in all it was a rather painless install and now I have a truly portable OS X laptop!
Update: To get the “dead key” left of the ‘z’ key to work follow the instructions under the “Phase 4 Some minor things…” header here. Follow the instructions in this thread at InsanelyMac to install another driver for the touchpad so you can disable tap to click.

I visited the Tokyo Eco Products convention the other day (2008/12/12) to be exact and naturally I headed straight for the Nikon booth where my gaze immediately fell upon this beauty: a Nikon D3 cut in half for all of our camera porn pleasures!

Wow. That looks amazing!
I got my MSI Wind U100 yesterday! It’s incredible small and light. It’s hard to understand that you are holding a pretty fast and competent computer in your hands.
Now I just need to install OS X on it, but that shouldn’t be too hard with all the instructions available on around the internet.
