Work

<dancing around> I did it, I did it, I did it! The code I’ve been working on for what feels like ages finally passed the “run it twice” test a few minutes ago! Wh00p! Heck, it even passed the “run it three times” and the “run it three times and then run it again on […]

Finally have it back in my hands, and it hasn’t crashed once! I was thinking I could go two for two and pick up my video card from Discovery today, but the guy at the other end of the phone said not to come tonight becuase he hadn’t had time to unpack the boxes they

Heard yesterday that my powerbook is back from it’s repairs at Apple and will be on the next truck up from the Bellingham office! Hopefully that’ll be soon. Apparently they replaced the logic board, the screen and the hard drive. I don’t know if that’s because that was what was wrong with it (I don’t

Apparently they installed everything clean and one of the powerbooks has some white spots on the screen or something, and the other is crashing and

Fozbaca has a link to a story on Panther, the latest OS from Apple. As a hardware update on the much promised powerbooks for work, apparently they are in. The hardware is actually in the Bellingham office (apparently) and they are going to be receiving the OS soon and getting it installed and then shipping

Last night was the last “required” seminar for the Self Employment Program. Basically three hours of looking through a theoretical companies financial statements (well, balance sheet and Income Statement) and determining how it’s being managed etc. I remember now why I hated my accounting classes in school. Had nice sushi dinner with Silvrstr beforhand though,
