Pretty picture

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Just have a few minutes down time before I head out to start loading and hauling stuff back from our Annual Meeting event, and wanted to tell you that not only did Angela get upgraded to Tiger, but my copy of VMware Workstation got upgraded to 5.0 as well. Pretty painless upgrade, and there are some features I like. I need to upgrade the RAM on that machine though in order to really start putting it to good use, like learning Windows 2003 Server.

Somewhere around midnight Friday if you could have peeked into our computer room you would have seen me floating between playing with Tiger on one machine, updating the Suse 9.1 install running in VMware on another, with the Windows laptop sitting between the two keeping my email coming and the music playing. Yes, it was a little slice of geek heaven. 🙂

    Well it seems like maybe I’ll have to try out this new RSS aggregator, Syndirella, and see how it rates up against the other ones I tried out last year. I should probably fire up Angela’s eMac at some point and try out NetNewsWire Lite and see how that stacks up too although, obviously, since…

    A post with a bullet, or three. * Firefox’s update went pretty smoothly on my laptop, it had one little hiccup on my work desktop. After restarting Firefox, the Clippings extension threw up a script error. Disabling Clippings and reinstalling it fixed the problem. BTW, Clippings is a very handy tool when your helpdesk software…

    The in-laws have departed, and, hopefully, I can get to work on that laptop software tonight. Seeing as how my wife and I just napped for a good 3 hours, I should have plenty of energy to work on that, eh? There’s nothing better than Sunday afternoon naps, can I just say that? While they…
