Is this still a church?

If so it's scary as hell.

Snow Leopard Day

We were at the mall shopping for (e:Terry)'s birthday shoes when I
remembered it was snow leopard day. I checked my amazon account and
saw it was not shipping for another week so I canceled the order on my
phone and checked out at the apple store. Thanks amazon for making
that so convenient! The nice part about the apple store is that they
email you receipt and you don't even need a bag. That's pretty
green. Even better would be if you could just install online.

The totally got rid of everything but hardware at the apple store.
Not sure if it's for snow leopard or back to school sales.

tiburon- I think they didn't add a lot of new 'features'- but my understanding is that it's been totally re-written 'under the hood'. And they know people don't want to pay for that, which is why it's $29 instead of the usual $129. I'm with Jim... speed and stability are worth $29.

Oh and mine actually DID arrive yesterday- but the office was closed so I didn't pick it up til this am. Off to install now.

I've been using it for about 6 weeks now, and definitely wouldn't want to go back. No problems so far, easiest OS upgrade ever.

Between Snow Leopard and an SSD, my computer restarts in about 15 seconds.

paul - 08/29/09 00:05
I installed it on a separate partition just in case.

jim - 08/29/09 00:04
Speed is a feature. My favorite feature.

tiburon1724 - 08/28/09 23:41
I don't get it.
What I mean is why pay for this? Shouldn't it be a free upgrade? It's not like it changes the OS in any significant way..

I have a very weird problem with Snow Leopard. I got Mail, iCal and Address Book to work with Exchange. However if I VPN in that does not work anymore. Entourage also does not work over VPN. I have tried another external connection, different VPN clients (Cisco IP Sec, Cisco SSL and Citrix)....nothing seems to work.

jenks - 08/28/09 18:14
yeah I preordered mine online since they made a big deal about how if you ordered by wed you'd get it today...

haven't gotten it.

wtf.

jim - 08/28/09 18:09
That's what the SLC apple store looks like now, too.

Happy Birthday! Is it today? Is anything going on this weekend to celebrate?

drew - 08/28/09 15:00
Happy Birthday!

james - 08/28/09 14:30
Level 30? That isn't such a milestone.

tinypliny - 08/28/09 13:41
Hope you have a smashing year ahead! :)

Roof tear off

I can't believe how those guys just run around up there unharnassed
and with nothing to catch them. They obviously do this all the time
or they would be terrified.

The only thing I regret is getting new gutters last year. It seems
like they will get destroyed by all that weight pressing on them.

metalpeter - 08/27/09 19:14
They are a lot braver then I am, I was a little bit on edge being up there and I wasn't near the Edge. The getting up and getting down was a little nuts but it was a good time up there.

In terms of the gutters I would guess that if the roofers damage them they would be responsible for replacing them or fixing them at least, I could be wrong but it seems like that might be true. Also what and those beams on the roof are those gutters if so won't they have to take them off to replace that part of the roof? If so will they then put them back on the New Roof? Might be something good to ask?

The new roof part I

tinypliny - 08/28/09 08:54
I really like the new roof! It looks wonderful (and future rust stains won't show that much). :)

paul - 08/27/09 21:28
That is the new roof. The old one was grey.

james - 08/27/09 10:40
Is that the new roof or the old roof?
