Updated to Drupal 6.22

I have to say that updating this time was a major pain due to the slowness of the servers in responding to copy and move commands. Ugh. It's done, but I can't guarantee everything works. Oh well.

Smack the Mac Attack

I'm giving all you non-Mac people an opportunity to stop reading now. Don't say I didn't warn you.

(As this is a post about an Apple Mac computer, I feel I must apologize for the slightly superior, somewhat arrogant tone in my writing.)

OS X 10.5.7 came out recently, and I've been very eagerly awaiting it. "'Eagerly?'" you say. "How can you 'eagerly' await an incremental update to an operating system? What could possibly make you wait for something like that?"

Is It Really a PDA?

When I worked at The Worst Job I Ever Had, they contributed to a technology purchase in lieu of getting me a laptop bag or Franklin Planner -- a Palm T|X.

I had a Palm III way back when, and then later, a Handspring Visor (which was tres cool!). I loved that Visor.

So when I had the opportunity to upgrade it to a Palm with wifi capability and a color screen that would allow me to watch videos streamed from SD cards, I jumped at the chance. I even purchased a better file manager and the Fitaly keyboard. It was very nice, albeit a bit buggy with the Blazer browser and such. VersaMail worked pretty well, though. I held on to it, using it off and on for a couple of years. Recently, I have been in an "off" section of time, though I have been watching Justice League episodes on it.

This last Sunday was my birthday. My wife snuck out a few days before and bought me a frivolous gift that I mentioned that I wanted (okay, I gushed about it like a little girl). In any case, I was surprised Sunday morning with a bag containing a bright, shiny, new iPod Touch 2.0, 16GB.
