Inge and I tried the burgers at Happy Pizza yesterday. Sadly a bug in one of the burgers made us feel nausious and unhappy [da]

I feel elevated and the MacBook feels nice and cool.
I have set up a Griffin iCurve, a Apple Pro Keyboard and some random Logitech mouse. The office has around 9 square metres of floorspace, some shelves, two tables, a few chairs, nice large windows and a whiteboard.
A nice guy named Anders sits at the other desk at the window.
I should be working…
I moved into my new office today. I am writing my master thesis here: Codd-M building, IT-byen Katrinebjerg, Århus, Denmark.
Thank you Inge for downloading the new (intel) Cisco VPN Client and thank you Line for moving the file using your USB-stick.
I installed the universal (intel) version of cocoAspell on my MacBook Pro five minutes ago. Works fine with the Danish version 5 dictionary and Adium and Apple Mail so far.
A nice surprise on a sunday.
It would be cool if Anton had RSS feed or newsletter email on cocoAspell (cocoaspell.leuski.net). I do not fancy MacUpdate that much. Too much junk and paid subscription.
It took a few hours with backing everything up and installing OS X from scratch. It works..
Makes me feel dirty.
Check out the other photos while I run Windows Update for a few hours:
After a few repairs..
.. My disk still suffers from some condition which prevents Windows from being installed.
Windows installations always seem to require some sort of drastic FORMAT C: measure. I will attempt a reinstall of OS X. But first a complete backup, which will take 3 or 4 hours.
I grabbed the firmware from:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macbookproearly2006firmwareupdate10.html
Used the updater to shut down. Held the power button until the light flashed..
Sat and watched the progress bar..
Waited for a few minutes more..
OS X boots as usual and says update completed..
Yes! Finally I can run Windows and get viruses on my Mac. I’m going to try it out..
I saw the news here:
Apple quietly releases Boot Camp Beta at World of Apple
And here:
Apple Goes to Boot Camp at Binary Bonsai
Tried it out on the MacBook Pro.. The Boot Camp Assistant tells me to update my computer’s firmware.
I checked Software Update. Nothing new for my MacBook Pro.. Nothing yet.
I am starting to suffer from writers block – blog-wise.
I have been writing a few good pages for my master thesis on it and organisations this past week. It is stupifying hard work and tends to put me off taking pictures, blogging about stuff and being socialble in general. That is really too bad. I hope it is just a phase. But right now things are corelated this way: The more intellectually challenging work becomes, the less I write here.
Tip of the day: Experience other things than blinking cursors on white screens
I had sort of a breakthrough yesterday in the shower and was actually able to hold my thoughts on the given subject long enough to write the ideas down. My short term memory is really short when I am stressed. The lines written down might be the best few paragraphs I have written in a while. The breakthorugh idea itself is not important. I will keep it secret and sell it off to some huge dot com in a few years. Heh. The important thing is that I got a new idea while not sitting at my computer.
