Happy New Years!

Yes, it is now 2004. We will all be incorrectly dating our checks for the next month or so. Hopefully, everyone had a good new year celebration. I hung out with some ND folk in ND for a couple of days. Mad fun was had, although we failed at getting Perk arrested.

CodeTek Virtual Desktop 3.0

CodeTek finally fixed a bug with X11 that has been making the 3.0 betas unusable for me (turned out to be something with remote connections – I have them turned off for security reasons). It’s nice to have virtual desktops that work correctly with X11. One other feature they added that is cool is the ability to have focus without bringing a window to the front. This definitely wasn’t a feature that I missed much when I switched from Linux, but it is nice to have. They seem to have switched to a metalic interface – I’m not sure I like it quite as much, but I suppose it fits better with Panther. My review: Worth the $15.00 upgrade cost.

Unison

Started playing with the Unison file synchronization application. Initially, I’m only going to keep my MP3 collection in sync with it (I keep copies on my laptop and my desktop at work). I may eventually keep some other things in sync that way, although most other stuff that is distributed across all my accounts/platforms is best kept in CVS (so that I have versioning).

Stupid Rich

I woke up this morning with some kind of illness. I blame Rich, for no good reason. I don’t think it is anything too horrible, but we’ll see how it goes tomorrow morning. I really hope this is over by Tuesday – flying sick sucks.
