It’s pretty clear I haven’t been blogging lately. Sometime in October was the last, an that’s pretty poor. University is such a distraction, but I hope the blog more frequently over the holidays.
To start: this post though: my Internet nightmare. I went over the quota BigPond allows me every month. But this time it’s different. Four days of dial-up speeds. OH NO! But I have squeezed as much value as I could out of the shaped plan. Two full days of download and I have Ubuntu 9.10. My MacBook Pro will never forget that experience (the poor thing).
I also grabbed a copy of the MacHeist nanoBundle. 6 shiny apps wort more than US$130 for $0. Nice! Thanks you to whoever runs this. If you’ve got Mac, check the bundle out here: www.macheist.com
A substantial time ago (well, relatively), Apple refreshed their mouse. It’s nice and all, multi-touch and a sleek RSI-induing design. But the new name. The Magic Mouse. What? How is it magic Apple? Sure multi-touch, but you don’t call the iPhone the Magic Phone. Or the MacBook line trackpad the MagicPad (just a little incorrect?). Please, I think we liked Mighty Mouse. But I still want one of these new things. Check www.apple.com/magicmouse/
In TV news (yes, I still watch TV), Big Bang Theory Series 3 has made it to Australian shores. Amazing seeing it only just started in the US. If you don’t watch it, you missing out. Just do a search on YouTube. But the new series is amazing. I think Sheldon should keep his beard. I must watch the latest show again tonight. It will make up for today’s 60% Database exam (I’m on the way to that as I type).
Talking about video and YouTube, you can now find my face on YouTube. I did a two minute thank you video on my birthday. It was a fun experience, an I really want to video blog again. If you want to see it, my YouTube handle is smartypants12000. I must say I admire anyone who does these blogs frequently. It took me an hour to put together this one video!
I hope to be back soon with more news, and photos (and video!). Leave a comment on this post, perhaps about your Internet nightmare, first YouTube video, or complaints about some new technology (my favourite!).
But until the next time, peace out people!
