Silly Nazy

First of all I'd like to dish out a big thank you to everyone who showed up on Saturday night. I like being the center of attention, so thanks for indulging me. It meant a lot.

On a completely different note, I had to give up my Blackberry last week. I swear the last time I missed something this much was when I quit smoking. They call them crackberries for a reason. I'm getting another one, but still waiting for it to arrive. Consequently I'm stuck using Q's old RAZR phone. The arrow keys don't like to work sometimes - oh and my bluetooth headset just died this morning. I love the quality of craftsmanship these days.

The one plus is that I have a camera phone again. I find I'm having a lot of fun with it. It's great to be able to take snapshots of things you find immediately interesting. Take this picture for example.



It's hard to read, but the red letters read "Dec 1. Happy Birthday Jesus Party."



Graffiti is another favourite of mine. Especially when they don't know how to spell.
Can you find the grammatical error?

Saturday Night Drinks

Looks like we'll be at the Artful Dodger on Saturday night. I imagine we'll be there around 9:00 or so. Hope to see you all there!

Thanks for the suggestion Mme Rouge!

Time Machine Rules

I have to say that the money spent on Mac OSX 10.5 was well worth it. For those of you not in the know, it has an extremely easy to use, automatically automated backup program called Time Machine built right in. Tonight, while trying to get my Blackberry to sync with my mac (the horror stories I've heard are coming true), a contact was deleted from my address book. The address book is linked to my billing software, so consequently all billing info for that client disappeared. How fucking brilliant of the software developer.

Anyways, in a matter of one minute I fired up time machine, selected and restored the contact and billing software database and everything instantly came back. So thank you Apple, I'm almost willing to forgive you for making unnecessary and distracting 3D changes to the dock and menu bar, and for creating "stacks" which are an absolute UI nightmare.
