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. 🙂

    Have you been reading Mark Pilgrim’s 30 days to a more accessible weblog? You should be, it’s got some really good stuff. For example, in the last two days he’s had links to Lynx viewer, which lets you take a quick look at how your site renders to someone using Lynx, and to VisCheck which…

  • Andy Rooney?

    My wife, after reading that last post, came to me last night and said “That was a little too Andy Rooney for my tastes, what happened to my husband?”. Ouch! OK, I admit it, I’ve been taking life a little too fucking seriously. Time to crank up a Too Much Joy CD and remember that…
