Another cache found: 'Alphabet Rock'. I also placed my first Travel Bug ["Ancestral Quest (pt. 1)"]. Took a Mac G4 into the shop for some retrofitting - getting OS 10.3 (Panther) and OS 9.2.2 installed (for the Classic Environment), after having struggled with OS 9.1 and OS 10.0.3 for long enough - Software Update didn't work quite right, programs wouldn't install, hard drive crashed (key failure), incompatibilities, networking problems, the only browser it liked was MSIE 5.1 beta (!) - Neither Netscape, Mozilla, nor Safari would even install, etc. Not a positive Mac experience, let me tell you.

Sure a lot of Mimail.J's going around, and when is Klez ever going to die? Read a hilarious book that Lynn gave me, entitled "Walter the Farting Dog" (it's a children's book by William Kotzwinkle and Glenn Murray, illustrated by Audrey Colman) - quite funny.   =)

Been doing some video editing/finishing lately at work using Windows Movie Maker 2. Pretty cool program, actually, and it only takes a couple of hours to become fairly proficient at it.

Thought it was a little funny that the word "McJob" is now an actual word, despite McDonald's wishes to get it taken out of the dictionary.

Hopefully I'm not the only one that thinks that CPanel 6 (used by many web hosting companies) really sucks. The password changer doesn't work (although maybe that's just the host's setup problem), and it's really not that user friendly, despite it's seemingly friendly appearance.

And what's with Symantec's MD5 checksums not matching those on their beta files? They are accurate on their final releases, but not on their beta ones. If you're not going to support checksums on beta releases, fine - but don't pretend to (just remove them). Weird.
