mac life is rubbish
not really, but it's catchy!
a clickable pic of my mac desktop in its 1920x1080 crazy glory for your amusement.
so i spent way too long dealing with getting the data i wanted off of my external NTFS (windows format) drive and onto my mac and then either burned to DVD+R, or, as i am still doing right now, shunted back onto the drive now that it's mac OS formatted.
hooray for shitty shits.
but it's basically all but sorted out right now.
one thing i will say: formatting a drive on a mac is a lot more arcane than on a PC. macs are generally slicker and easier to deal with, but sometimes the Alien Brain People (aka engineers) devise a feature and then it's like, what? i had to download a PDF on how to format a FUCKING DRIVE from the people who made my drive. that has never happened to me in a microsoft OS.
oh well. quirky! all seems to be well. i named my drive 弐号機 which i guess is cute or something. seems odd to be doing eva references but those are the times we live in. the icon is orange so i guess it should be 零号機 but we all know i prefer asuka. and yui creeps me out.
anyway, almost all is well in chateau du maq. i just need to get that keyboard, and the 4GB of RAM i ordered, and then everything should be almost screamingly peachy.
and we can resume normal non-boring blog service at that time. well, it'll be boring, but it'll be less boring and about something else. cha-ching!
