The Comcast dude showed up on friday so we have full tubes access to the internets. Our guests from LA are in the city watching their team lose to the “home” team in the Emerald Bowl so we’re cleaning the old apartment. Joy.

Done
Friday, December 19th, 2008Moving done!
Unpacking and cleaning (oh the cleaning) still be done. :(
OMFG
Wednesday, December 17th, 2008Due to delays, decision making, and dallying we have movers coming on Friday to transport our stuff to the new place.
Very little is packed yet and the movers want an itemized list of big/heavy things , how many boxes and even the stair count at each place by today!
I still have to get the cable and power transfered as well as changing addresses at a billion different places.
Happy holidays.
My first problem with Vista
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008Apparently one cannot create directories with periods at the end of their names.
So when I copy music from my Linux partition to the windows one to add music to my iphone, if it’s M.I.A. it can’t be read because of the trailing dot. I also can’t fix the dir in vista, I have to reboot back to Linux, mount the partition, rename the directory, reboot (again) into Vista, fire up iTunes, start iTunes again because it crashed -it is some seriously shifty software- and then finally sync the music.
If you try to even create a trailing dot directory the name gets truncated.
That my friends is some WEAKSAUCE.
I mention this at work and all I hear is “get a Mac”. :(
