brain totally fried (which I just typed as fired), finegers (now i'm just giving up on correting typos) not listening to brain, but i'm home and the kitty is thrilled and the magic elves did come and clean my house! I love magic elves!!!!!!!!!!!
It was a firmware update that killed my powerbook. yes, Nick I was also running ubuntu on it but in a VM not natively yet. I'm too addicted to iMovie and iPhoto to let go of the final mac luv so as soon as we get those awesome new video editing things in FOSS then I'm all set. Actually I can let go of iPhoto so it's just the video stuff that keeps me one foot on the mac side.
I should really start getting ready for my trip to Canada now but one more work thing to finish up and I leave guilt free for a few days. The house - ugh, that's another problem. I hate leaving a dirty house and since the magic elves didn't show up last night I'll prolly be up late cleaning the bathroom and vacuuming and emptying out the fridge. Plus my brother is coming over to house/cat sit while I'm gone - well really to have a mini-vacation with his girlfriend so I want the place to be livable and right now there's sawdust on my carpet and this is another really long runon sentence as I'm wont to do on occasion. I can prolly win a contest huh?
The one good thing is that continental has realized i've been flying with them every month this year and granted me elite status so at least check in and boarding will be even easier. Direct flights both ways and my second Canadian stamp in the passport within 3 months. I'll prolly be going back to Montreal in a few weeks as well. . .ok, back to work. . .
Did the recommended software update on my Mac Powerbook the other day and now it won't boot up at all - not even a chime. Powers on but never gets past that. Read some possible troubleshooting things to try but no time to deal with it now. Work, getting ready for travel, baseball - ack, totally forgot to email new guy and let him know i'm even back in town before i leave town again. I should do that now and then bed; early back to back calls and dealing with more printing fun and kinkos. No laptop is a pain but at least I have the Acer Aspire One netbook for travel now.
And if the magic elves can come clean my house while I sleep that would be awesome too.
If I didn't already have more computers/laptops/netbooks than any 'normal' should I would buy one of these: http://www.woot.com/ The EeePC coming soon more linux and ubuntu netbooks/devices than you shake a stick at. . .i'm waiting for the ones that promise oodles of battery life like your phone.
It seems my new comfort range is somewhere btwn 75 and 77 inside the house. This just seems so narrow; any lower and I'm reaching for a blanket, any higher and I'm reaching for a cold drink. Now outside I can tolerate much higher but just seems odd that indoors range is so narrow.
shopping list: potting soil, framing boards, coffee creamer, bamboo stuff, watering can. . . it never ends.
oh and I'm heading off to the Toronto area next weekend. . . .
Thursday night's graduation was bittersweet for so many kids. Too many of them say they're moving off the Island, too many had to grow up too fast. Most of the kids graduating that night were still not back in own homes, my nephew included.
