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. 🙂

    Yeah, as you can see, I moved all the blogroll lists into blogrolling.com so that way I can make changes on the fly and move at least those lists into new templates easier. It’s a pretty cool service, I must say. I have it set so that the order is random, every time you come…

    I hate days like today, days where I get just about everything accomplished early, and it’s too late to really get into anything new, so I just sit and wait for it to be the weekend. I’m definitely feeling like the next 2 hours will be about the longest in my life! On the other…

    We spent the past weekend having an early Christmas with the in-laws. My father-in-law has recently had his Palm die on him and was given a Toshiba e310 that his son had and wasn’t using to replace it. I knew he was having some problems with it, and went in thinking that I was probably…

Eric put his show prep notes on his site, and I have…
