Haven’t updated in a while, since before the holidays. Got pneumonia over the holidays, and am just now getting over it. Pneumonia sucks. I’m back at work now (posting from a meeting!) but I’m not at 100% yet. I can’t seem to get a full breath yet - like my lungs are only filling to a percentage of capacity. :(
Another New Toy…
I meant to post about this, but got so tied up with work+holidays+pneumonia, I forgot. I now have my precioussss… my preciousssss… an Apple PowerBook 15” with Superdrive. :) Even better: courtesy of my work. I was going to plunk down the coin for it myself until one of the managers told me I could get one for work… so… :) What a nice machine.
My old TiBook/500 was a sweet box, but Apple nailed it with this one. The screen is even more beautiful, the case is very rigid, and fit/finish is perfect. I’m loving this machine - finally having something with a decent video card that supports Quartz OMGEXTEREME!!!111 is amazing. And the SuperDrive? Well, I made a video of the kids and gave DVDs to the grandparents as part of their Xmas gift. How cool is that? I’d never think I’d say it, but I’m … a switcher.
WOOT. A Personal Best Today…
Hit 614,224,920 on the Indiana Jones Pinball game at the bar ‘n grill we go to for lunch. Got 484 million on my FIRST BALL.
/me does a happy dance… CHECK IT OUT.
Arrgh. SPAM.
MUST. CONTROL. FIST. OF. DEATH.
I haven’t checked a particular email account in about three weeks. Look at what I’m blessed with AFTER my Thunderbird mail client does spam filtering.
Oh, yeah, and I run SpamAssassin on my mailserver, too. That’s absolutely INSANE.
I’m gonna start my own USENET group - alt.spammer.die.die.die.
Thought for the Day…
“Strap on” spelled backwards is “no parts”. Discuss.
