I meant to write a post last night and catch everyone up to the fact the our son BunBun has started school.  His first day was yesterday (Wednesday the 10th) and he did wonderfully.  He came back to mama just once, then on the second goodbye, he was just fine with it.  He made friends, played outside and had a wonderful time.

I’m very proud 🙂

Sorry I didn’t have a chance to catch you up to this fact.  We’ve been terribly busy at work as usual.

So tomorrow starts Macworld. I for one am extremely excited. I wish I had a shot at going this year – perhaps next year I can head out there.

I think there will be wonderful things coming out of Cupertino. Can hardly wait 🙂

So, Aquatix pointed out (correctly) that the coffee-n-cream theme didn’t have a login button. File that one under WTF.

Part of the reason I keep changing these themes is because I keep finding little items missing. While I like Sapphire significantly, it takes out the blogroll. That sucks because I really want you to visit my friends and I find it pretty important to link to them. File that under Suck.

Sorry about the continual changing of themes, folks.  Just trying to find one that really fits.  If someone wants to dream up an original one that fits me, that’d be nice too.  I’m sure I wouldn’t refuse that.  Hint.  Hint hint.

So for the first time in… uhh, years, I’m shacked up in four walls of my own choosing.  I chose this office purposefully because it was at the end of the hall – conspicuously away from the people who might seek me out.

Alright, I’ll cut the bullshit.  It was unoccupied when I came knocking.

I feel like I was able to focus much better today with less distractions, but that one major distraction… the telephone… is still there.  I also need to seriously consider discouraging people from sending me tons of IMs every day.  Not sure how to do that without being incredibly rude though.

Please go check out that song I posted about earlier.  Especially you, Jennifer.  I think you would like it.  It seems just the right amount of saucy for you 😉

Had a further little email chat with Jennifer about Vista’s licensing.  She pointed out this article on ZDNet, so I wanted to make sure I bring it to everyone’s attention.

It’s clear to both of us in our discussion, however… that these modifications just aren’t good enough.  It doesn’t solve the “ick” factor of knowing that Microsoft is watching how you compute – every day, every night, every boot.  To me, that makes it the ultimate deal killer.  The general distrust is the nail in the coffin.

File this one under “funky, extremely sexy song that doesn’t last far long enough”… “Love Set me Free” by Roberto Sol.  Find it.  Buy it.  Hot.  The kind of stuff to make love to.  Yum.

Here’s a good article on the Inquirer about why Microsoft Vista is not an option for at least 1 tech worker.

I’d imagine others are coming to the same realization. I already did several months ago.

It’s a late night at the computer before tomorrow, which… well, work’s closed, but I might be training the helpdesk anyway. Who knows? I’ll be checking email at around 7am to get that note.

In between working on course notes, developing little handouts and listening to RadioIOAmbient, I’ve been ripping my age-old CD library to iTunes to load onto the 80gb iPod. Scary thing is – I’m almost halfway through it and I’ve filled up 1/10th of the iPod’s capacity. Hooray for miscalculation!
