LeopardCategory: computers
So, I preordered Apple Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard (™, ®, etc). This is what I'm looking forward to:
- Spaces / multiple workspaces
- Tabbed, internationalized terminal
- Time Machine
- Death of Metal
- Finder Improvements
- Learning Objective C 2.0 now that it's got GC
- Playing with the Cocoa-Ruby bridge.
But also to some new 10.5 only apps that are coming out shortly.

I Am Displeased.Category: sick
I do not feel very good, I think it is a cold or the flu. This displeases me greatly. I think it's the fault of (e:enknot) who did not save me any flu vaccine.
I was fine this morning, went to work on-site at a client's all morning and then all of a sudden I'm congested and cough-y. Sniffling too.
This is awesome.

I was just kidding Tinypliny!
I feel much better today, less a zombie and more a productive member of society.

If only tinypliny had brought soup, I would be better by now :).

It's funny that you posted the image of that balloon architecture book, because I just got an invitation to be part of Wilmot Cancer Center's Balloon Manor Charity. :::link:::

yeah, I really want to know her story. I talked to a guy who works in psych at ECMC and the other hospitals, and even he has never met anyone that has talked to her. Such a mystery!!!
I swallowed so many words. :/
Today is correction fluid day, so here goes...
- who these people are (omit ? mark)
- Why are *they* clothed...
- Don't they *feel* uncomfortable *under* all
those layers of cloth?
- *(*followers of Jainisms = Jains)
I have wondered a million times who these people are? Why are clothed like aliens from sci-fi movies? Don't they uncomfortable with all those cloth layers? Are they under some secrecy oath?
There is a religion in India called Jainism 9followers = Jains). The monks from this religion wear white masks over their mouths to prevent the inhalation of flying creatures (yeah, as if nostril hairs weren't enough). They are called the Swetambara (Sheathed-in-white) monks. They carry whisk-brooms to prevent themselves from stepping on crawling creatures, don't walk on the grass and only go outside during daylight. The very rigid among them don't eat root vegetables that destroy the plant. They follow the principle of non-violence to its extreme meanings.
I am sure the alien-look-alikes on Allen can't be Jains. Who are they? Scientologists??
