So, I’ve found the wonderfulness that is the Griffin iMate. I am one step closer to being able to sync my Newton on my iBook.
My question is this: Any of you Mac afficianados out there still have an old ADB cable lying around? I can get them for a decent price on eBay, but I’d rather rid someone of something just collecting dust in the basement, and put it to good use.
Oh, I’ve already tried MSU Surplus (AKA MSU Salvage). No go. Though they did have a beige G3 and an Indigo iMac that were reputed to work. Heh.
I’d just like to say again how much I love my new-used iBook.
Just sayin’. :)
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus philosopher Bertrand Russell gave this testimony about what motivated him: “Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and an unbearable pity for the suffering of humanity.” To be in maximum alignment with cosmic rhythms, Taurus, I suggest that you boil down your desires to a slightly altered version of Russell’s: a longing to both give and receive love, a hunger for knowledge, and a yearning to alleviate the suffering of your fellow humans.

I’m letting myself feel swamped by a perfectly reasonable amount of homework. I even have plenty of time to do it in. It’s an easy excuse for slipping into a panic, I think.
For the first time since I hired on in March, I’m actually annoyed with my boss. That’s okay, because I’m certain that he’s annoyed with me too. With the honest professional relationship that Tom and I have, I’m certain we’ll be able to work it out.
I’ve been using
I think that writing and editing will reinforce that nicely.
My mail accounts are getting swamped by spam lately. Gmail still catches most of it, but I have one less email account forwarding to my gmail address, and two thousand more spam emails per month. I do not envy tech support professionals for having to deal with this trend.
I’m at Gone Wired for now. I love this place.
