Special thanks to the kind couple who found my wallet on the street outside of MacForce on SE Salmon St. and took it inside to the store, leaving it with the good staff, who contacted me to let me know it was safe. The couple also drove by my house to let me know where it was. This happened Saturday, and I have been in a most excellent mood since.
I’ve only had a short while to work with the latest revision, but wow. Nice work, algoriddim.
Aaron Hanley’s Letterbox plugin for Apple Mail works again with Snow Leopard.
And there was much rejoicing.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 appears closer to an ideal on-person camera than anything since the Leica M system.
“Business Care” Nextel told me yesterday that the “phone insurance” I have been paying for my handset, a Sprint/Nextel Blackberry 8350i, means that I earned the privilege of only having to pay ~$120 to rectify a piece of crap design where the power connecter snapped off the PCB upon attempting to tether this morning. The rep was kind enough to describe, sight unseen, a dozen ways where “how I plugged it in” was likely to be the issue without considering that plastic adhesive reinforced by solder points may not be the most robust solution to handle the physical connecter of the mini USB interface that by its very design is arguably one of the most tedious alignments since the venerable DSUB or the cheap-ass PS/2 male fittings, each with soft wire ends that mated so poorly upon setting up living conditions for their arranged marriages. Let alone if they separate and re-marry every day. Won’t someone think of their arranged children? If my “insurance money” (think pipe-wielding thugs “helping” a local grocer) is worth so little, I may as well throw a pile of dollars elsewhere and see what sticks.
