The Monkey

Why am I tempted by an O2 mk2?

He probably sucks.

Fair enough. But I wouldn't want to be on that beach so much.

I'm going to the commissiong so I'll try to get some cool pics. But let's just say that even from a small distance, the thing clearly is capable of ruining someone's day.

Saw this little number enter the harbor and steam up the river today. USS New York being commissioned next Saturday. Reminds me to give thanks to our armed forces.

Not a bad day.

The basement is littered with mice.

Update: the mouse is growing on me. Mrs. Monkey loves it.

Maybe I'll learn to bake some bread.

What kind of bread? I love homemade bread.

Dan doesn't mess around in the kitchen.

No. Please get to work on it asap.

So much better than my breakfast.

Yeah, seems like some FUD, but Apple's brand spanking new versions of hardware give me the willies.

Some reports of issues with the 27".

That's what I was afraid of. Rats!

Is it hard to swap out the internal HD on the iMac?

For anyone trying to figure out when and where their Mac was built: coconut-flavour.com - [coconutIdentityCard 2.4] My iMac supports 2.0 GB max. Is it worth it to go from 1.5 to 2.0 GB?

Went to a neighbor's apartment for some awesome Indian food tonight.

The rabbit hole is made of 1's and 0's.

I guess I wish that Apple would finally increase the fastest setting to something approaching Windows.

Not yet.

FWIW, I have corresponded a few times with Metric Halo support, and they are really quick to respond and also really nice.

1) As Al mentioned, it is heavy and awkward for right clicking. 2) As with other Apple mice, Apple seems to think people enjoy having to physically pick up the mouse repeatedly to traverse the entire screen. 3) While iGesture (or whatever its called), is kind of cool, particularly the scroll function, it is rough around the edges, and not yet seamless enough that I would not like some extra buttons for flipping back and forth between web pages, etc. But god forbid we should have more than one button!

Yes.
