Friday, May 31, 2002Feature Creepy@ 11 am | PermaLinkI just took a look though through that list of features for Jaguar, aka MacOS X 1.2. And I saw this: "Pulsating gumdrop of death pointer" I swear that's in there. Would anyone like to explain this?

Saturday, May 25, 2002Of Recent Days@ 08 pm | PermaLinkThe months of 2002 have been consumed by this 'on the verge of finishing' project that has dragged on for... months. Literally the site has supposedly been going to launch the next month for just about each month ahead. I'm so tired of this thing. The situation, being just about to finish leaves me in a really irritable mood all the time. My main job these days is the work at PGE. And my focus is getting the project finished. Whenever a project is 'almost' finished I begin to put my concentration on getting it done. The closer I get to finishing the more I anticipate finishing. Each week, each day I get a bit more edgy, my humour gets a bit more wry and I get more cynical. It permeates the rest of the my life as well. I get short with people around me and Amy bears the brunt of it. My plumeting mood has got to be rough because of the contrast with my usual, more even countenence. I feel like a real heel too because in recent weeks I've gotten a new Stereo for my Ghia and a brand new office chair. I ought to be fine and I ought to be able to separate out my issues at work from my actions and feelings at home. My irritability has only been tempered by the moments that I spend doing and focusing on something else. But I find that it's got to be something that I can be intense about. I've been playing on Amy's keyboard tapping out and layering little 12 and 16 measure tunes. I've been playing some French learning tape tracks over and over again. And I've been working on this Director project that our class has supposed to have been putting together. These are projects that occupy my time before I finish TownPartner and get on with my life.
Friday, May 10, 2002Typographic Horrors@ 12 am | PermaLinkFor the first time, I've seen a sign that just made me gasp and gawk. Could it get much worse? It's one thing for a store's sign to use the "OCR Extended" font which comes with Windows.  But to then follow it up with Arial in all caps? It's enough to make my eyes bleed. Look at that weak R or those ugly 'E's with their equal length arms. You'd think it was a cheap knock off of Helvetica...
Monday, May 6, 2002Wonderful Ads@ 12 am | PermaLinkI love stuff like this: thismodernworld.com/.../gra_bDoctor.jpg At the bottom: For 30 days, test Camels in your "T-Zone" (T for Throat, T for Taste) The woman with a the T overlay looks like she's got just like lines needed for "Total laryngectomy" This is just one of several interesting ads that are available: thismodernworld.com/.../gra_badvert.html
Saturday, May 4, 2002Rocky Trek@ 01 pm | PermaLinkI'm still waiting for someone to come up with cross-over Rocky Horror Picture Show / Star Trek Fan Fiction. Original Series only, please. Frank and Spock can trade eyeliner tips...
Friday, May 3, 2002Question of Added Drives@ 08 am | PermaLinkI'm wondering if I can easily attach this to my Blue and White G3. I think it should simply attach to the IDE cable that's inside my case already, but I'm not sure: 45GB IBM DeskStar 75GXP 7200RPM 2MB ATA/66 HD. (IBM07N3931) Isn't an ATA drive compatible with IDE?
