Computing

Jes came over on Wednesday and helped me upgrade OSX on my mac so that it is usable (I had a very early, buggy version before) and I've been busy ever since downloading updates and finding my way around a new OS. I'm still not altogether yet, photoshop isn't working properly and something is eating tons of memory on my computer and I can't figure out what it is. Is there some kind of resource meter on the mac? I have under 400MB available on my 9g harddrive.

Roxy is still gone and there is no sign of her. It's so weird the way she disappeared. The humane society took a report and I put an ad in a free classified circular. I never had any affection for cats before her.

I remember from last year that when the spring came there were a lot of dead skunks on the road. Well, we've seen our first dead skunk this year and I'm taking it as a symbol of Spring.

There will be no more photos any time soon I'm afraid, Steve took the camera to work to photograph some unusual livestock next door to where he was working. He slipped on the ice and the camera went flying. When you turn it on: DRIVE ERROR. My mom had just sent me a bunch of accessories for it from her old camera (thanks Mom). I have my sights set on a camera like Jes has, it's digital video that takes still pics a zillion times better than my camera did, but we're not going to have the funds for that for at least a few months.

I leave you with this link to an auction for original Lynda Barry artwork. The description is hilarious and the pics are cool too.

make sure you goto the apple ite and find compatable cameras...I think if its a Sony with an iLink/firewire port your fine. mines a JVC, but it has that iLink thing so it works. about the memory, it it possible you were running out of gb memory before and didnt know it? I dont thin 10 will take up more than 2 or 3 GB's....just wondering. Hows it all going?

Dear Christy,You can always come here for a visit... and I can take some pictures with my new digital! I'd really like that. I'm traveling less now; back on (new) meds. I'm fine, not like last summer.Alexa
