The Update 10.4.4
Anyone who knows me knows I'm an Applefanatic. I have been ever since I owned my first IIci back in high school.
One of the neat features of a Mac is it's "software update" feature, so I checked to see if there were any updates for the software on my computer. With one click, it said there were 5 updates, totaling about 100 MB of data--the largest "update" package since I got my laptop. I installed the updates, which promptly reset the settings on my web browser. It doesn't remember any of my login/password combinations for all the websites I visit.
This is inconvenient b/c I have forgotten most of them. I'm mildly annoyed, but mostly because I haven't written them all down. At least I remember the combo for Facebook, right?
Having attended both of my classes, I am now less anxious about the workload. I still find it funny that my professor in the Bach musicology course insisted that this class was going to be "fun" and "not like any other music history class we've ever had". The funny part was how she defined "fun", and in doing so revealed that our "essay" (her word) for the course will be at a minimum 15 pages because, "you really can't say anything in just 15 pages". Try me.
So this course is apparently designed to give me yet another writing sample, something that will be frightfully useful as I interview 8 year olds for spaces in my piano studio.
It seems many of my friends have stopped blogging altogether: Sarah, Kristin, Carrie, Rob, Kelli, and Chris. Helen posts one every week or two, and DEG will get back on track once his comps are over. Brian is the only one I can count on for regular posting. I need new blog buddies. I mean, some of these people are the reason I started blogging in the first place. Perhaps they have hit Step 5 or Step 12 in the Blogging Cycle. Or maybe they're hiding behind new blogs. Blog intrigue...interesting, but only just.
In other news, I will be moving my blog in about a week. I will post the new address on here, so check back to see where I'm heading. I like Blogger OK, but I am going to start using a new Mac program called iWeb that makes it incredibly easy to have a website, a blog, and post photos and video. I think I'm going to go multimedia, but we'll see.
Oh, and for more nerd news, I bought a camera thing that I can hook to my computer and scan in all my books, CDs, anything with a bar code. There's this great program that will take the barcode, pull relevant info from various web sources (like Amazon), and put it on a "bookshelf" on my computer. I can print lists of my book and CD libraries, and it includes album covers and dust jackets. Given my collections, this is a no-brainer.
It's now past my bedtime, so good night.
