Wow, a whole week passes. So went in to work on Monday. And seems like I've been working a lot this past week, not to mention the previous weekend. And again probably this Sunday anyway. Combined with Lucy not sleeping through the night yet, it's been, well, a weird week. A couple times this week I'd get up for the nightime feeding and be unable to get back to bed, so start working at 4am. Seriously, crazy. I did finally upload photos from Jason & Wendy's wedding in Duluth to Lucy's Flickr finally. And might have talked Tracy into letting me get a new computer, strictly for photos. RAW processing on an underpowered machine over Remote Desktop is painfully slow. To the point that I don't look forward to it at all. FlickrStackr is a pretty good tool for Flickr uploading from the iPad, but then I can't get them over to the iPhone. And I have to use a different interface to get them to MobileMe. Tracy doesn't want another screen in the house, so she doesn't want an iMac, and would rather have me get a MacBook Pro. Since it'd be for photos, I'd only be happy with at least the 15", and I wouldn't want the 17" because it's too big. But I'd rather have a 21" iMac. So I made a cardboard size mockup so we could try and find a spot for it in the house. And we're hitting up an Apple Store this weekend so I can play with both to see if I could live with a bigger laptop instead. I could see how it could be in handy, but then again, that's one of my reasons for getting the iPad. Comcast finally seems pretty stable. We've had the "office" on DSL all week and it's been nice and rock solid, but I've missed my 20/4. Would be hard to give that up when switching to something else. Oh, joined Netflix again. Started Watching instantly, looking forward to watching via the Wii. It's really pretty useful. Oh, also tried setting up an additional Netgear Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter Kit XAVB101 set. But not working all that well on the master bedroom side of the condo. Seriously? I can't wait until I can run Cat 5e or 6 or fiber, just nice fat cable runs to all locations a real house. Been reading Scott Pilgrim, released as an eComic finally. Very cool.
