Well… Why didn’t I think of this earlier? I’ve changed the WordPress moderation-panel to “delete” comments by default (instead of having “do nothing” selected), as I’ve yet to get a real comment enter the moderation queue.
Had I thought of this 3 hours earlier, it would’ve saved me ~350 mouse clicks. 🙄
I got my iBook G4 (12″, 1.2Ghz, 768mb, 60Gb HDD, Bluetooth) on Friday. Lovely machine so far (still so much stuff to get used to — like the @-key ;)), the only niggle is that the tiny speakers resonate with some particular frequencies and when they do, they sound rather awful (which so far was evident in one song from my collection).
Some things are very impressive though, for example that the iTunes visualisation still updates in real-time after activating the Exposé zoom-out. I have yet to see an application for Mac OS X that only looks average or even bad. 😀
I’ve been sick for the past two days, and in the throes of fever have ordered myself one of the upgraded iBooks. I’ll report how we get along, currently I’m still trying hard to think of a good name for it. 🙂
I’d recommend anyone with a reasonably popular blog software to keep an eye on their comments section. I’ve recently gotten single-link spam entries that are hard to filter out automatically. An RSS-Feed for your comments helps to track these down quickly.
Over the past few days I’ve taken a liking to TaQ – Electro Tuned in Dancing Stage Unleashed (on Easy ;)). It’s a song I had positively hated before, but now that I “get” squeaky bits (3 notes / steps in a slightly off-beat fashion), it has become immensely enjoyable. It also does not hurt that the song reminds me of the P.N.03 soundtrack. 😀
Reon (Leon?) Kadena just ought to stop that merciless teasing and do “proper” AV. 😉 Which reminds me, that I haven’t heard from Maiko Kazano in a long time, maybe she has retired…
I’ve always eyed the Apple machines with a certain kind of glee. I think I’d use one more as a Unix workstation than anything else, but they’re nice nonetheless.
The first iMac (with CRT) was definitely ugly, the next one (lamp) was “meh!” but this one is actually tempting (especially that it’s 25dB quiet) — ignoring the abysmal GPU. The middle option configured to my tastes (wireless everything, 512mb RAM) would set me back about €1850 (whereas a comparable, traditional Dell-PC would cost €1750). Maybe they’ll include a proper graphics chip in their upgrade in ~6 months time, and if a financial reevaluation at that time yields positive results, I might actually buy an Apple (probably not as “primary” computer, though).
