My Next Car
By Nick Hodge | December 21, 2001
Mini Cooper, my next car Its all about the style. Yeah, baby!
How did I miss out on The Smiths in my younger days? Morrissey and Marr rock! How Soon Is Now is a classic I remember from the 80s, but their music is really, really… good. The line I am the son/and the heir sounds almost like I am the sun/and the air — a completely different meaning and spin on the song altogther. This creativity in lyric and music is equally only by early Lennon/McCartney and of course, Neil Finn.
I just love it when the software you create does something that you don’t expect! In the Adobe PDF & Acrobat section, I’ve added the links to the updaters to Acrobat 5.0.5. They now appear in the overview for this section — and the navigation on the right handside. The layout of these areas are automatically created from the content in the database. This wasn’t designed, and not the intent when creating the feature. But works the way you would (sort) of expect. Cool.
Last year I purchased a baby Firewire hard drive. I’ve plugged it into my Windows XP Dell Latitude C800 (which has built in Firewire) and reformatted the 10Gb drive. I selected FAT32 as I know that MacOS X can read this, too. Backed up my data, and mounted the same drive on the Titanium PB. MacOS X can see the FAT32 volume (albeit not reading the volume label/name correctly) and read/write data too! I don’t think I would trust all of these devices plugged in together at the same time…
WindowsXP Likes: faster hibernation, neater hardware removal interface, hiding service icons, new control panel interface and ‘helpers’ on the left in explorer windows, nesting of windows for an application in its icon on the start bar. All minor.
Oh, also some work related stuff. The MacOS Acrobat 5.0.5 Updater is now available. (Most) of the components are MacOS X native.
