At the end of the day….

Posted by Aaron Paxson on October 17, 2007

Another work day complete. Did I accomplish anything? Do I feel satisfied? Has anything happened today that allows me to walk away thinking… “ahhhh… another good day”.

Nope… just your normal, overwhelming day at work. I really need to get organized. My desk is a mess, paperwork is everywhere. I choose to work on creating a new VPN subnet and watching the OSPF updates, rather than completing Expense Reports. I’m burned out.

Tomorrow will be a better day. Yes, tomorrow is a good day to work on Procrastination……

Update: OSPF stands for Open Shortest Path First, and is a popular routing protocol, used to advertise networks (or lack thereof) to other routers. I mention this, in case I get comments to the effect of…. “Watching OSPF?? I don’t know what kind of sports it shows, but get back to work!……..<Administrator>, make sure to block OSPF on the internet!”

….. yeah, go ahead and block OSPF. That will go over reeealll welllll. Just make sure to tell me first, so I can call in sick…… :)

Mac Leopard

Posted by Aaron Paxson on October 17, 2007

I am sooo drooling! Oh, to get a new MacBook Pro with Leopard. Or, even a Dual G5 with dual-cinema screens using Leopard………

What’s cool?

  1. Desktop: The Dock now has a “Stacking” feature, which de-clutters your desktop, and opens all those apps and files in an animated fan, as it opens to your desktop.
  2. Finder: The Finder application is now more like “iTunes”. But, instead of just music or videos, it’s now all your files.
  3. File Preview: You can now preview files without actually opening them. Step through multi-page documents, or view videos, just by the preview.
  4. Time Machine: A VERY, very cool way to backup and restore your files.
  5. Spaces: For those Linux users who loves using their virtual desktop, Mac now has it’s virtual desktop, and they call it “Spaces”
  6. Boot Camp: Boot Camp comes default. This allows you to boot XP on a Mac machine (No, that does not include the XP license, just the ability to boot to it)
