Hiccups
I love the subway south west sandwich. But it always gives me the Hiccups. It’s been over an hour now, non stop. I think I’m going to die!
1 commentBComm Cat
I’m starting to notice A) that i’m totally failing out of school and B) this may be partially to do with the cat. This is pretty much the scene anytime i’m at home and trying to get something done. I’m totally aware that i have my own office and its cat free territory but in there i end up spending more time reattaching my laptop keys after Wynnie pulls them off than i do actually working. Anybody reading this who knows Pandora wouldn’t believe me for a second that i spend all day fighting off her attention and that when she settles for laying on my books, notes, laptop or anything else i might need i’ve actually won that battle. Also, new rescue on sunday!!! If you’re looking for more of a canine study partener check out my site or the humane society website (mississaugahumanesociety.com) for pics.
Also, notice the transittion of boring photosite to boring photo-blog site!
Panther Review
Don’t know what Panther is? It’s the latest release of Apple’s OS X operating system.
All I have to say is that if you have a Mac and you where thinking of buying a faster one, just spend the money on the OS upgrade. It increased the speed on my 600 Mhz G3 considerably.
I won’t get into details, since they are all better sold on Apple’s site. But I guarantee that it is going to make your life easier and FASTER.
I hope he enjoys his tools and beer.
Seems this guy’s ex-wife left behind a box of Beanie Babies. Here is the ensuing auction.
You have to read this.
2 commentsiTunes for Windows Review
I’ve been using iTunes for over a year, since I bought my first Mac, and I was thrilled to have it available for my Windows machine too.
First thing, I imported my 9,993 tracks from my CD collection. Didn’t take too long. The end result, a very easy and fast database of all my music. I can even go through the daunting task of fixing some of the ID3 tags that are still wrong. Plus, when I’m done, I’ll turn on the consolidation feature and reorganize the entire directory structure so that they are all neat and tucked away in their own Artist/Album directory hierarchy.
Music still sounds great and the burning feature works great. Plus Smart playlists, I love that feature.
My only complaint really, is that the visualization performance is crap. I was looking forward to watching 60 fps on my Radeon 9600. Sadly, this was not the case. Instead I was treated to 10 fps. Why Apple? Why? And no OpenGL support? For shame!!! It’s in the Apple version. Even DirectX would have been nice. Or left it out entirely.
But this is still the, BEST at equalization, and organization. Now if only I could use the online music store. COMMON APPLE CANADA!!! GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!!!
iTunes for Everyone
Apple released their music player for Windows users today. That means all those windows people can now buy music from Apple’s Music store.
IF YOU LIVE IN THE USA!!! No news for Canadian music fans. Still no online store that sells compatible Mac files.
Common Apple Canada, step up and finish the contracts. I want my music!
Goodbye
Soxy the kitten passed away last night in my arms.
We think that more likely than a sprain in her leg, she may have had a blood clot or something degenerative. She was eating very well days before, but yesterday she wasn’t as hungry and was very tired and not herself.
We’re going to miss her a lot.
Matrix Reloaded
The next installment in the Matrix trilogy is out on DVD today. Paul and I went to grab our copy and every guy in the store around our age had a copy. In fact, while we where in line there was only one person who did not have a copy.
Too funny.
