McBookaire: Last night’s work lost

Thursday, June 12, 2008

Argh!

All the work on chapter 63 was lost.

I don’t know if it was McBa’s fault or operator error.

I have to print everything I do on this project before I leave a file. Luggable has screwed me once very badly on this project loosing three wee hours of the morning prose. Now McBa screwed me out of an hour of not so beautiful prose.

Argh! Argh!

Maybe I should use a typewriter? This is a productivity enhancement?

Argh! Argh! Argh!

McBookaire: McBa saves my chapter? Oh yeah!

Thursday, June 12, 2008

Argh!

Sent a chapter of the novel over to McBa. Worked fine. Did some work no it saved it. And this morning McBa says something to the effect that “you might be surprised at the results”.

Aghhh!

Surprised is NOT the word I’d use.

OSHJ: Saw a family walking to the bus

One Sentence Happiness Journal

Today, when driving to get gas, I saw a family walking to the bus and that reminded me of commuting to NYC with my aunt; I loved the cold ac of the bus on the hot humid mornings.

McBookaire: It’s BACKSPACE; not DELETE

Sunday, June 8, 2008

Now maybe it’s picky. And maybe I’m just dense. But the McBa’s keyboard is mislabeled one key.

It’s <backspace>; not <delete>!!!

It reallly throws me off.

Maybe there’s a way to redefine it? Maybe I just don’t understand. Maybe it’s trivial to you.

It’s annoying to me!

Update: Yes, I figured out that Fn + Delete is ‘forward delete’. Thanks, Google. Argh!

Free iPod Touch with Purchase of a Mac for College Students?
Posted on June 2nd, 2008 in iPod Touch

*** begin quote ***

Every year Apple has made a special back to school program available for students heading back to school. Last year they made the offers only available to college students and this year rumors are circulating that they might include a free 8GB touch with a Mac purchase.

Screwed again. Missed out on one of whatever it is.

Argh!

TECH HARDWARE: Strange event

Friday, May 30, 2008

This morning luggable was rebooted.

No reason apparent to me.

Did Microsoft push one of their mandatory take fixes? Was it related to Comcast’s problems yesterday? Have I been hacked?

Who knows?

Argh!
