MacBook 13", very first thoughts

xrayspx - Thu, 06/01/2006 - 7:41am

The new MacBook came in today, and I've been tooling around on it for the last couple hours.

Good:
-- Speed seems good

-- I toyed with my Treo 700w and can shoot pictures across, that is about all.

-- New Trackpad drivers woo yay, it's nice.

Bad:
-- The magnetic power cord will take getting used to. If you pull it straight, it's almost impossible to unplug, however if you breathe on it funny from an angle, it shoots across the floor.

Why am I a good guy? Being a bad guy would fuck with my schedule a lot less than this. Stupid script kiddies.

This thread has reinforced something which I think we all know anyway. Do not shake hands with Slashdot.

My Redneck Hajj

xrayspx - Tue, 05/16/2006 - 12:36am

I have to go to the greater Detroit area to install some bunch of network hardware in the next couple of weeks, and I'm trying to find stuff to do.

It just dawned on me today via Natalie that I will be in Detroit over Memorial Day weekend. She was predictably happy about me being gone over the long weekend.

Not without some seriously non-typical end user junk, but giving up on installing dependencies myself after seeing control-center2 relying on nautilus, and nautilus relying on control-center2, I installed using YAST and it worked fine. I know I should have forced around the dependencies, but please, someone...

Bunch of savages in this town

xrayspx - Wed, 03/15/2006 - 7:50pm

I've become used to our lawn sprouting all sorts of crap, soda bottles, McDonalds bags and trash, but this is different. Yesterday, someone placed a shopping cart on my lawn. I say "placed" because it was inside a short chain (not chain link, like, a chain that runs between posts, it's not as bad [quite] as it sounds), in the middle of the fences run. So if it had been blown over it, it would have fallen over on its side, so it was either lifted and placed or pushed around the end to the middle of my lawn.
