My iBook
I’m spending a lot of time tonight on upgrades. I just upgraded my iBook to OS X 10.3.5. I also realized that I hadn’t updated the virus definitions on this thing since October 2003. That doesn’t seem possible, but apparently it’s true. Man, I have to update the virus defs on my PC about three times a week, just to keep the wolves at bay, so to speak. You gotta love the Mac — no spyware problems, hardly any virus/worm problems, easy OS updates that don’t break anything. If only I could toss my PC. I guess I could, if I didn’t make my living programming for and supporting PCs. Oh well.
Windows XP Service Pack 2
I applied SP 2 to my home machine today. So far, no problems. I spent a lot of time at work testing it and reading up on it over the last couple of weeks. Given all the press it’s gotten, I kind of expected something more drastic.
iPod vs. The Cassette
iPod vs. The Cassette: The cassette wins, of course.
No More Palm.Net
Palm.Net to cease 31 August: I discontinued my Palm.Net account some time ago, but I still have my Palm i705. I guess the antenna is officially useless now. Oh well. The web service on my cell phone is pretty bad. Time to switch to a Treo 600 maybe?
Honor Patrick’s Memory
Heather has a nice page up on ways to Honor Patrick’s Memory. I watched Project A last week, so I’ve got one point covered, at least.
Avengers Assemble!
One of the many interesting facts in the Marvel Super Heroes’ Guide to New York City: The Frick Museum is Avengers Mansion!
Bryant Park
Anybody want to go see Planet of the Apes in Bryant Park next week?
More Blogger Stuff
I’m not sure I like the way the comments look, so I think I need to do more work on the Blogger template. It’s almost 11pm now, though, so I should really consider giving up for the night and going to sleep. Maybe next week…
Blogger Stuff
I just made a number of changes to my Blogger template, to add a permalink to each post, and to allow comments. I set it up so that you need to be a registered Blogger user to leave comments, since I’m worried about comment spam, after Heather’s recent experience.
