MacBook

Tuesday: Woke around 8 as MB headed off to work. Email, cats, shower,
breakfast (leftover coffee). Some guitar. Decided to buy a new
MacBook. I got a $100 discount from Amazon, and upgraded the memory
and hard-drive myself, thus saving almost $500. The new laptops are
great, but Apple charges too much for the upgrades. The sale of the
PCM 91, and my current PowerBook will just about cover the cost of
the new computer. Down basement and some practices. Put away things
that had been used to wind mantras. Took apart the old turntable and
found that indeed, fuses had blown, and if they were replaced, that
it would live again.

In to work. A talk with B about the state of our installer, and
automated builds. Fixed a bug in the Intel build. (Some absolutely
Ha-Larious code that used to be used to pack 4 bytes into 5 bytes
(without the high bits set). Good grief I can't believe this is still
in there.) Some back and forth with an engineer at Apple. Gave him
some info on a bug of theirs. Fixed a bug of ours that he had alerted
me to. Lunch at my desk thanks to MB, and some yummy Pear Crumble
later in the day con cafe. Headed to yoga at 6:45.

Class was a bit more strenuous tonight. Several new people. Wendy was
being a little dyslexic, but was so charming, as always, that it
didn't matter. My car is doing an annoying thing where it warns me
about the top not being secured even though it is. Back home around
9:25, and my call with workshop friends.

Hung out with MB for a spell, eating an assortment of leftovers
(salad, soup, soy sausage, bread and cheese). Had fun poking more
holes in the Da Vinci Code. I cleaned up while she took a shower.
Now, down basement for the rest of my stuff.
