Half an hour to go. :)
(Report idea from The Bear’s Lair.)
Best moment so far watching my stepson Hans play GTA: San Andreas? Him, needing to get across town, driving half-lost through some unknown, sketchy neighborhood, saying “I gotta find a freeway.”
Just like the real thing. Yep, welcome to Los Santos*. :)
(* for those unfamiliar, Los Santos is a fascimile L.A.)
For the first time in my computing life, I just hit Command-M while in Firefox (version 1.0 RC1), and it sucked the window down into the Dock like just about every other Mac OS X application has been able to do for years now.
Yesterday, I hit F9 to do an Exposé of all open windows, and no superfluous tiny window appeared for Firefox.
Today, when I was processing through my NetNewsWire syndication feeds, hitting return on interesting stories to open them in the browser in the background, all of them opened in a single Firefox window in a series of tabs and not in a bunch of windows.
I may very well tear up.
Was banging my head against a wall this afternoon, trying to troubleshoot a connection from the usually stellar CocoaMySQL and a new MySQL installation. Hours later and much consternation, turns out CocoaMySQL apparently won’t work with MySQL 4.1 or newer due to authentication issues. Feh. I do so love “issues.”
Anyhoo, removing 4.1.x and downgrading to 4.0.21 works, so if you happen to run into this problem, that’s the deal. There are other GUI clients available, though I haven’t tried those out. PHPMyAdmin is always an option, as is, of course, the CLI, which is quite easy to use if you’re comfortable in that environment.
My wife and I have always intended to get to the new Getty, but there was such a crush when it first opened that we figured we’d wait…and here we are still waiting. We’ll get out there, I promise.
In the meantime, Tom Bridge has posted a thoroughly spiffy gallery from his trip to the Getty today (2004-10-26). If you’ve procrastinated as badly as we have, or even if you haven’t, go have a look!
