new iBook
The iBook showed up this week, too. It’s great. OS X is much better than OS 9. It looks great, too. DVD playback is nice. The sound quality is good, if you use good headphones. Lots of stuff to explore… I haven’t really even looked at the underlying BSD stuff yet.
Lots of Computer Weirdness
Lots of stuff has been going on with my desktop computer over the last week. To make a long story short, I would up reformatting the drive, reinstalling XP, and reinstalling all my applications. Lots of work, but the thing’s mostly better now. I still can’t run chkdsk/f or Norton Disk Doctor without hosing things up, but I guess I can deal with that for a while.

new iBook
I broke down and ordered a new iBook tonight, from PowerMax. 800 MHz, 12.1″ screen, 256 MB RAM, 30 GB HD. And, surprisingly enough, they’re giving me $475 for the old iBook. I didn’t quite talk myself into getting the 20 GB iPod though.
Ham Fighters
Did you know that there’s a baseball team in Japan called the Nippon Ham Fighters? That’s so cool.
Red Hat 8
Hey. I’m posting this from Red Hat 8. Okay, not a real big deal, but I installed it, and it works. And it seems to support most of my hardware. I haven’t tried everything, but the obvious stuff works — mouse, videocard, sound card, etc… Thus far, the only thing useful I’ve done is installed MP3 support and downloaded a Grey Eye Glances song from EMusic.

I’ve posted a few pics from Pat and Heather’s wedding. Take a look at the link to the left.
