Foul Day

Filed under: Personal — François Schiettecatte @ 7:36 am

Foul day today on the Northeast Coast. As some of you know, we are having a Nor’easter here. Sleet yesterday morning, followed by heavy rain in the afternoon, and then the wind picked up last night, a steady 25mph (40kph) and gusts of 40mph (65kph). Today it is stilll raining and wind’ing. We had a power glitch which brought all my machines down (except for the laptop) and my email is down.

My Office Is A Mess

Filed under: Personal — François Schiettecatte @ 11:52 am

My office is a mess right now. At the end of last year, my PowerMac G5 blew up and I had to use the Intel MacMini that was hooked up to my TV. I was holding off getting a MacPro until Apple had refreshed the line, hoping that the dual quad-cores were going to be introduced. Well they were but they were way too expensive for me, so I got myself a middle-of-the-road MacPro, which arrived yesterday (three days early, very sweet.)

So I spent time yesterday setting it up, adding memory, a second DVD drive and three disc drives to bring it up to par. All done now and I am glad for it. While I really like the small form factor of the MacMini, it is undeniably cute, it just did not have the horse power I needed for my work. Also I like to have three displays attached to my Mac, the MacMini can’t do that.

My office is no longer a mess.

I am into design, and I like Macs, so this cartoon really resonated with me.
