Finals Officially Over
Thu, 2005-05-05 21:47 — jrearick
Finals are now officially over. No more going on in this semester. I returned my books for about $50. They didn't take my account book back and I forgot my Speech book at home, so I guess I'll take care of that Friday.
If you are interested, here are some pictures from the Tiger Release party on Friday, April 29th at Jordan Creek.
I got Tiger at work on Monday. Installed it on my PowerBook on Tuesday and have been tweaking it ever since. For the most part it seems to work really well. Anytime I do a clean install of an operating system, it feel like I have a brand new machine. I have noticed a few little bugs, like the tab order in the TCP/IP tab in the Network Preferences Pane, and some non-Apple dashboard widgets don't always like to keep their state after logout or a significant amount of time. There are even a few widgets that take up CPU time while it is not in use. The worst example of that was a batter monitor that took a good 10% when hidden. Using CPU when you need to watch your battery use is not a good thing.
Last night I got Tiger Server as part of the server up-to-date program. I installed it today, and things seem just about the same as before. Though I'm not really trying to do anything with it yet. A good overview of Tiger Server can be found at AFP548.
Also, last night was fun after my Account test. I went to Hickory park with Adrienne, Colin, Katie, Katherine, Nicki, and Erik for Adrienne's birthday, then after church Adrienne, Nicki, Erik, Katherine, and some other guy (I forget his name) when to Welch Ave. It was discussed that we do some sort of Star Wars marathon watching Episodes 1 and 2 on DVD, go to the theater to see 3, and watch 4, 5, and 6 afterwards. Sort of like what some of us did with the Lord of the Rings. The idea is to do it Sunday, May 24th.
Also, I mentioned (a few times now), I will be going to WWDC. It turns out mom really wants someone to go with me to San Francisco so I'm not going by myself. Though, I will be busy doing stuff at the conference just about all day every day, and if someone else goes, they will not be able to get into the conference and will be in the city by them selves :rolleyes: . It looks like dad will be going with, but they couldn't decide on anything so no tickets and no hotel are reserved yet, where I could have had all this done MONDAY and it would be out of mind for a while.
Anyway, I'm just killing time until Gaila gets here. I guess I should wrap up so that I can move when she gets here. We will be going up to SD to canoe on the Missouri river and camping, looks to be fun. I'm also taking Friday off from work so we can hang out a bit before she has to go back to school for May-term.
Laters.

Perhaps you could see if Gaila or Colin or someone wants to go with you to SF if your parents are ok with it. Just hanging out in a fancy hotel room sleeping, reading, and watching TV all day can be quite fun. Someone your own age might be more a enjoyable travel companion, more interested in hearing about your daily adventures, and seeing your freebies. Then again, it might be nice to spend time bonding with your dad, especially since the trip is right before Father's Day. Just a thought.
Meanwhile, congratulations on finishing up the semester!
