Little mermaid! I haven't watched that in years.



I was thinking of going Mac, but wimped out and went with a Dell Inspiron. And now I hear that recent Dell computers come complete with exploding batteries?

Oh man, I am too lazy to even crop my pictures any more because it makes batch editing more difficult, and here you are with your multicolored text and witty captions. You are a god among bloggers. Now I understand why Colin married you.

Posted by: Sam on August 16, 2006

Yeah, she does this ALL THE TIME. I'm actually too lazy to upload pictures, let alone crop or caption any of them. So as far as image editing goes, JKim wears the pants.



(I also married her for the late-night activities she loves so much. [Yes, I AM talking about backgammon and Trivial Pursuit. How did you know?])

Posted by: Colin on August 16, 2006

Colin, you just think they're late night because of the time difference. I used to wonder why she only signed on to aim at 1:30 am and then I remembered. :D



OH BUT GR8 POST. Since you posted this on Xang too, and I already commented there, I don't really know what to do with myself.

Hehe this entry's timing is impeccable ;p I was just about to order a Macbook Pro online ;p I admit the black one's cooler-looking ;p Hey ALL PPL OUT THERE WHO HAVEN'T BOUGHT A PC YET...GET MIT'S ONLINE DISCOUNT FOR LAPTOPS AND ALL OTHER COMPUTER STUFF...it's really great 'cuz for example I'm getting a sweet 200 dollars off the mac just for going to MIT...what's more you can order it online and have it delivered to your dorm..that's my advice...I can't remember the website but it's in one of the papers that MIT sent with that blue "2010" folder ;p i think it's behind the kerberos certificate ;p let me know if any of you decide to use it ;p



Oh and congrats JKim you look cute with the haircut ;D i just got one too ;p

I haven't checked your xanga yet, so.



YAY MACBOOK. Sweet, gorgeous Macbook.



I am so picture-lazy it's not even funny. Actually, I stopped taking pictures this summer when I got fed up with my webcam-quality camera. Thankfully, the brick will go away soon enough.

I bet I'll be seeing this on Reuse in a few months:



"1 Apple Macbook, used. Great shape, other than a few bite marks on the corner. Slightly soggy."



Any takers?

I've been thinking about getting a Mac for a while, but I'm such a wimp when it comes to change. The whole "no right click" thing would freak me out to no end.



I'm interested to see how this turns out for you, since you've pretty much got the same experience with Macs as I do.



On a completely unrelated note: 100% photo blog = amazing.



(I'm a new reader here, so you've never seen me before.)

Colz - nobody plays backgammon anymore unless they're a previously paralyzed bald guy crashed on an island.



Anon - love to. Who are you?



Joe - a few MONTHS?? Oh come on, give me a LITTLE credit!



Andrew - I'm a new writer here, so I've never seen me before either.

Fine, fine. A year. Still, I've got five bucks and a batch of cookies that you'll come back to the dark (read: stubborn/foolish) side of the motherboard. [insert evil laugh]

Posted by: Joe on August 18, 2006

Excuse me, but I happen to like backgammon.



DOUBLE SIXES WHOOOOOOOO!!!

Posted by: Colin on August 18, 2006

Good to see you've made the 'switch.'



Try http://osx.iusethis.com. (http://osx.iusethis.com/tag/ftp, specifically for ftp programs).



Oh - And nice hair cut

Posted by: Matt H on August 18, 2006

Well that explains why you're in the guest blog.



I noticed that after the comment was posted.



(I sure hope html works in these comments, because I'm gonna look really stupid if it doesn't.)

OS X is very right click friendly. You have three options:



Plug in a mouse. OS X supports two button mouses without any problems.



Ctrl+click is a right click.



Go to System Preferences->Keyboard and Mouse->Trackpad and turn on "Place two fingers on trackpad and click button for secondary click." Secondary click - right click.



For FTP, everyone says that Transmit is a god among FTP clients, but MIT provides Fetch for free from http://web.mit.edu/ist/software/
