One does what one can. In your mouth.

I'll have you know I had to switch ISPs to share that with you. The SEACOM cable has gone pop somewhere between Kinshasa and Mumbai, meaning if you want international connectivity you have to find someone with allocated bandwidth on the SAT3 satellite link. The Internet is complicated down South, dudes.

Grilled some kudu steaks for dinner. Noble animal, delicious too. Food here is fucking ace. Wonderful fresh fruit and produce and meats and fish. Beer suuuucks. Wine OK, and cheap. Local whisky -- don't ask!

Currently getting about 200kbps down on a good day. Ask me if I miss 20/20 FIOS.

Yeah, something about the whole setup kinda smells.

Quick question, Mac guys. I'm passing my old iMac on to a friend, what's the best way to set it up clean for him, but with continued access to the iLife suite and current iTunes library?

Seweled eeoot, matherfickers. iPhone 4 Sold Out for Launch Day at AT&T and At Least Parts of Europe - Mac Rumors Hopefully they're making some more!

Nooooooooo! This, combined with the utter crushing of the pre-order servers here in the US, makes me think they might sell a couple of these.

It's probably drunk.

Looks pretty sweet. No use for it right now, but will start casting about for one.

Looks like that's kosher. As long as you can apply the gift card to a new iPhone 4. RadioShack (RadioShack) on Twitter

Woot! Apple are selling the new model fully unlocked in the UK right from the start.

Yeah, sorry for using up the daily drama quotient. Let's drink, moderately, now. [/Pangloss]

Corrupt login items. Fffffuuuu.

VICTORY IS MINE!

Fuck this shit.

The New Pornographers -- Together This is my favorite album of the last considerable while.

I'm sorry but the documentary evidence tends to suggest (puts on sunglasses) that it was a sausage fest. YEEEEAAAAHHHHHHH!

This is a weird one. The bugger booted perfectly out of the box and seems physically perfect (awesome display, no yellow tint, no dead pixels, diagnostics OK), but something clearly went awry in the migration process. I nuked the HD from orbit a second time, booted from the install DVD, repaired the startup disk and was finally able to get up and running. Now migrating again from a separate backup volume. Fingers crossed! BTW, this is my 4th iMac and first ever issue with going from one to another.

It's not over until the fat naked lady sings no longer displays her boobs as my wallpaper.

The fail, it is multilayered.

Won't boot from a clean install. I think that's game over.

Good news is it doesn't seem to be a hardware issue. Doing a clean install and if it boots OK after that then I'll sink the nine hours required into a full restore. Pray for mojo!
