On the fuzzy side of life

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

I remember the first time I saw the idea of this and thought “well aint that swell.”  Then listening to a podcast today I was reminded of it and know what I think he was right.  Fuzzy Clock is quite swell.  Why do you need to know the exact minute of the hour?  I used it for a little bit in straight Debian once, well not this app but the same idea, and it did start to sink in to my brain.  But know what, I just need to know like right now, ten to ten.  beyond that what does it matter?  I dont think I could really use it at work cause they are too strict there on meetings, but as long as i know well its about 15 till 11, i dont care.

Quietness

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

This is a bit odd I swear.  I am finishing up a video and it stops…it goes QUIET in here.  When the a/c isnt blowing its too quiet.  I can now hear the MythTV machine.  I hate quiet…bothers me.  Gota figure out something to do about that.  Maybe just a fan going all the time LOL

New computers

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

Something fun about new computers and at the same time, very draining.  So I did go pick up a new 24″ iMac on the 1st.  Ive been using it daily since then.  Its very quiet in here too, no loud fan like it was with the desktop.  Its positivly quiet.  Its going to be very very odd when I get rid of my other two computers.  One thats in the living room doing home theater work, and then the file server in the bedroom.  Thinking of getting rid of that file server when i get the Mac Mini for the living room.  Use some usb/firewire attached storage and just do it that way.

Its taken a few days to fully settle in at having OS X as my home system.  Ive been using it at work so no big deal there, but transitioning to home is a little more work.  Things like mounting drives perminatly and all that sorta stuff.  Not to mention the whole layout and preferred applications.  Oh well its all fun.  Just nice to have a computer I can watch a video on and surf at the same time again.  Then also the idea of quiet is nice
