Inevitable Mac Update

Well, I’m starting to get used to the iMac. Whenever I would get confused I’d remember that Cory and Angie had reminded me that it’s basically the linux box I’m used to, but just with a shiny UI (and a much faster nicer one too).

I’m still taking my time to move things over, like my old mail archives and some other files. I’m not letting iPhoto or whatever it’s called index my picture archives (yet) either.

Speaking of, I uncovered my backup archives that have the pictures of some of you “cage dancing” in Tahoe. I’ll upload them to my site sometime next week. ;)

As far as necessary apps, I haven’t really gone crazy installing things. I’m glad to have TrueCrypt back on a working machine, and other than that I’m playing with Quicksilver> more and just like on my Windoze box, I have Twhirl, a Twitter app, installed.

Twhirl’s kinda cool, it’s based on the Adobe Air platform, and I’ve yet to have a problem with it on any platform I use– although maybe Pridkett will figure out something cool or horrible with it soon.

Don’t get me started on Twitter, I both loathe it and like it at the same time. That said, let me know if you use it so I can follow you.

But so far so good- there are still some minor things I need to figure out like setting up a preferred Terminal and figuring out why the stupid end key doesn’t do crap on the keyboard. . . . oh, and get a squid proxy on this. . . etc etc
