This morning, I was preparing my lunch to take to work. I only had a little spoon handy, because I’d have to, I don’t know, open a drawer or something to find something more efficient. It took a while to spoon my food into my lunch container. About as long as it would have taken to eat it, assuming I didn’t chew anything. For some reason, that struck me as somewhat profound this morning. I don’t sleep much.
I had an idea for a website. There’s a lack of support for people trapped on a desert island. For starters, if you’ve watched Castaway, you can immediately see the benefits of quicktime videos for stuff like how to make fire. There’d probably be some kind of discussion board for people that are lonely. Unfortunately, we wouldn’t be able to actually notify the Coast Guard of anyone’s location without violating our privacy policy, but all in all, it’s a developing plan.
Speaking of odd laws, does anyone know if it’s possible to patent a workaround or fix to a Microsoft security flaw? That would amuse me. Many things amuse me.
One thing that doesn’t amuse me in the short term is rebuilding hard drive images. I finally got around to upgrading Sammy the new used Mac’s drive today, after AngelA pointed out that I still hadn’t installed Classic on the “temporary” drive that’s been in use for months. I remember my Windows days where I’d reinstall everything every 6 months or so. Maybe it’s gotten better since then, but I haven’t rebuilt my iMac since I bought it. I’ve found that I don’t miss the procedure. Of course, it didn’t help that I just installed the wrong update and now OS X thinks it’s up to date at 10.1.0 (I was at 10.1.5 this morning)… Important safety tip: Maxtor drives ship configured with the jumper in the wrong spot. I thought I’d burnt it out on the first try, which would make my 3 year warranty pretty handy.
Anyway, as it’s been a day fraught with other people’s problems, I’m going to go take care of mine now. See y’all tomorrow.
