You know, I think I owe Will the Manager, a bit of a ‘Thank You’, over at work.
Mostly because he let me borrow the office Sack Barrow, to shift my old — and very unmissed — fridge-freezer out to our block’s bin area. As soon as I’ve got the time, though, I’ll be getting in touch with Brentwood Council, to get them to shift it …
¡ That’ll cost, but … !
Either way, I’ve got to admit, I’ve now officially upgraded to iTunes 9; the one downside to to whole Fridge Freezer palaver is that I wasn’t able to get into London, for the one thing I was planning to treat meself too.
To a copy of the Snow Leopard upgrade disc.
As you can imagine, I’m just a bit peeved, about that!!
Especially as I had one of the regular’s mention today that he’d done the same, himself.
And managed to recover 15gB of Hard-drive space!
Ah-HEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know Apple have been saying they’ve managed to do some trimming, but that’s DAMN good!
Something like that, on my Mini, would be doing the hard drive a big favour, I know that; even when you consider that, when I did the initial boot up of the Mini — only this time, last year — I’d managed to save a some space by not installing the extra dictionaries, printer drivers and extraneous stuff that I didn’t need*.
Even so, that’s a lot of songs.
Or pictures of entertaining pics of young ladies in corsets.
Whatever happens to float your boat!!

The one thing I do know, is that I’m having to use Thunderbird, as Mail.app seems to have developed a glitch, somewhere.
And, to be frank, Thunderbird isn’t as Mac-like as I’d’ve hoped; it doesn’t seem to handle RSS feed with quite the same elegance as Mail.app does, nor does it match the rest of the OS X look and feel.
But, until I get around to re-setting Mail.app’s permissions — or the .plist’s, which is where I suspect the problem is — it’ll do!

* I do know that Dan — who’s an old friend, and something of a Mac Mæstro — also pointed out something, that hadn’t occurred to me. Quite simply that Leopard is the last version of OS X that Apple shipped, that’s compatible with the older ppc processors. Which was Dan’s point; as Snow Leopard only supports Intel Macs, it doesn’t need the ppc code. Bit of space, there, then!

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
