I’m pretty upset about the outcome of the King brothers case. I still believe that they’re innocent & shouldn’t be in jail.
I’m really worried about them. I’m especially worried about Alex & don’t think he’ll survive even in a youth facility, since he’ll be the youngest and smallest inmate.
I was hopeful that they’d be going to Boys Town (of Father Flanagan fame), which everyone involved in the case was pushing for. I can’t believe Stokes allowed this to happen.
Microsoft Shared Source CLI for Mac OS X. The Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) is the ECMA standard that describes the core of the .NET Framework world. The Shared Source CLI is a compressed archive of the source code to a working implementation of the ECMA CLI and the ECMA C# language specification. [MacMegasite]
I just finished building it & it works.
I still haven’t received my pay check for the 15th of last month (plus my final pay check from that company for the 30th). I wasn’t being paid directly by Absolute – I was being paid by the company I got the contract through & they were always slow. This is the longest I’ve had to wait, however.
Absolute does direct deposit, so hopefully I’ll be getting paid on time now.
I’m ready for my trip to Philadelphia tomorrow & I have some new software to give them. It works on all of my machines – hopefully it will work for them.
I have to fly to Philadelphia Wednesday night & I’ll be home after midnight Thursday.
Expatriate Different. The ‘Switch’ campaign continues to be a robust meme, continuing to exploit new niches.Oh, but that guy’s going to get such hate-mail from the Rightists. [ QuickTime ] [More Like This WebLog]
I love it! If I left the US, I’d rather move to central america, though. I hate cold weather & I’d like to live someplace really cheap.
From MacOS Rumors:
In a near-future version of Classic (most likely introduced with 10.3 or 10.4, well after Apple has moved all new Macs to OS X-only booting), integrated with a corresponding update to the old OS — probably 9.3 — Classic applications will take on an Aqua-ified appearance as well as limited OS X-native features like direct access of some hardware devices through the OS X kernel. OS 9.3 would not be a bootable operating system but would instead be specifically designed to run only under Classic.
Additionally, direct access to Classic’s menubar for use of Control Panels and the like would be eliminated in favor of a new OS X Preferences panel that would integrate most if not all necessary settings functions to replace such Classic-specific controls.
I just got finished with my first monthly staff meeting as an employee of Absolute Software. Since they have a lot of remote staff, they set up a conference call for us. It went very well, although we didn’t get any of the slides (which they plan to correct next month).
I love this weather we’re having today. It’s in the 70s and not humid. It doesn’t feel like Florida. This is what winters are like here & I hope it stays like this.
Sigur Ros: “( )”. On their majestic new album, the Icelandic rock orchestrators use maybe a dozen syllables in a made-up language. Fans vote on the translation. [Salon.com]
