Whose Cuisine...?

Surprise visit

Geoffrey, Jennifer, and Jen's brother Steven (sp?) just stopped in on their way back to Orlando. Kind of out of the way, but it was really nice to see them for lunch and a trip to get Geoffrey a case of Yuengling.

Scott and I are finishing up work on Giant Monster Movies this weekend. By Monday we should have 100 monster movies fully entered into the database and we'll open it for business.

Explanation, please

Will someone please tell me why my brother Benjamin has a baby carrier on his wish list? Is there something he hasn't told us?

A typical Wednesday afternoon conversation

User: Is there a way to underline words in my e-mails using Eudora?

Me: Not the version you're using, no.

User: I have Eudora Pro! I thought it was top of the line.

Me: Well, yeah, when you bought that copy five years ago, it was the best. Now, not so much.

User: Oh.

Attention pundits: there will (probably) be no switch

John C. Dvorak has been predicting Apple's big switch from Motorola processors to Intel processors for a couple of months now. Frankly, I don't see this happening, and fortunately I don't have to explain why, because this guy has done it for me.

My favorite quote:

No matter how badly people clamor for it, Apple is never going to release a version of Mac OS X that runs on standard Wintel PC hardware. Whether it’s possible or not, it isn’t going to happen. A frequent comment regarding this rumor is something like “I’d love a version of Mac OS X that ran on my PC.” Sure you would, you cheap bastard. Apple’s Switch campaign is an attempt to get PC users to buy thousands of dollars of Apple hardware, not hundreds of dollars of Apple software.

In sorta-related news, I've been learning a lot about Windows lately, since our new PC guy is just getting on his feet. I must say I like XP a lot, you know, for a Windows system. There are lots of things that just work, which is a huge step up from Windows 98. I still don't understand, though, why my PC thinks I have three different laser printers, when all I've done is switch where on the USB chain my single printer plugs in.

Shoe switches feet

Christina's step-sister, Heather, spent last night at Eckerd College, doing the prospective student thing. Looks like we'll have a relative in town come Fall. Heather says she was leaning towards Eckerd pretty heavily, but now she seems sure that this is the place she'll be attending school in August. (The full-tuition scholarship probably didn't hurt.)

Some of you know that this is particularly appropriate not only because Christina and I both went to Eckerd, but also because I had relatives in town (my grandparents) who were my support network and helped to keep me sane. Since we're going to be in St. Pete for at least the next year (and hopefully longer), we'll try to pay back that karmic debt by acting as Heather's in-town support. It's a burden we're happy to shoulder.
