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 someone comments. 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 grown up. 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.
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.
