I'm on a Jhonen Vasquez kick right now. I'm not about to explain the series of events leading to it. It's too long and wasted most of my morning.
The result: I found out the third Invader Zim DVD has the unaired episodes of season two. Episodes that I have not seen. I now want it. Amazon says I can get it used and new... Read More
I know no one cared about the last one, so I did some additional tests:
Previously After Effects 7.x on my MacBook Pro would crash on launch because I've been using Monolingual to remove the PowerPC portions of Universal binaries to conserve hard drive space. That's why I had to test AFX under Parallels and not in Rosetta (the seamless "emulation"... Read More
Hey, I *did* read the whole thing, and it mostly made sense! Just a few things I didn't know, and I would enjoy it if you could explain what they are, because wikipedia entries are always too long.
Silly boy. You know I can't remember every geeky detail you bombard my female brain with.
Universal binary: I told you this already, so here it is again, shorter, and with less information that is wrong:
All computers have processors. These are made by various companies. Processor have different languages. Macs in the past have been PowerPC processors (made by Apple, IBM, and Motorola). Intel is the bigger producer of processors and Apple finally switched to using theirs.
PowerPC chips use the PowerPC language. Intel's chips use the x86 language. An Intel chip can not read a PowerPC program, and visa versa. At least, not without it being emulated (you know, like SNES emulators).
So, when a software developer makes a program for a Mac, they are now given the choice: Make the program for:
- a PowerPC Mac
- an Intel Mac
- Both.
Universal binaries are the programs that contain both languages. They are roughly twice the filze size.
Binary: Not just 1s and 0s. In Mac OS X, a program is actually a folder. Inside is a Resources folder, which contains language-specific stuff (English, French, etc.), icons and pictures, movie files, sound clips, etc. There's another folder called MacOS which typically contains one file. This file is pure code. This file is an executable binary file. Like a Windows .exe file (exe = executable).
So.... raise your hand if you're drunk! I am raising my hand vehemently right now!
Okay that's a lie. I'm using both my hands to type this right now. And surprisingly with very little to no spelling errors. I even spelled vehemently right! Man, look at all the exclamation points in this first paragraph already! Heh, exclamation points almost look like man junk with a... Read More
Hello, forced overtime! We have not seen each other since the Algebra series! But now you are back and with a furious vengeance. I wouldn't mind your visit if I wasn't trying to pack my things, clean my room, and throw out useless shit in preparation for the move.
Also I found out I have so much left to do and I do not work... Read More
Good luck. That's a lot of pressure to be under but I already know how awesome you are so it will all work out, even if you do end up wasting a lot of time doing things you don't really want to be doing...ah, the joys of work.
Be grateful you don't have to deal with homework anymore at least. Speaking of which...duty calls. Sigh.
When I came to pick up the wonderful Ember for my birthday action, she gave me a card. Since she didn't email it to me like I asked her to a few days ago, I found it on her computer (go Photoshop's open recent menu!). I have a feeling the terrible new main member page blog design will corrupt this image somehow (just like every... Read More
9:11:48 PM Me: hahaha i am so not going to get anything accomplished
9:13:01 PM Ember: *shakes head sadly*
9:18:18 PM Me: yeah...
9:18:42 PM Ember: If you don't get your shit done you're not getting your birthday surprise on Saturday.
9:18:48 PM Ember: And I mean that.
9:18:57 PM Me: you mean the party i already know about?
9:19:05... Read More
Im glad it was good! I hope you plan to come down in may with Ember. I look forward to seeing your smiling faces. We just acted up the whole weekend so you know we were up to no good like normal.
Well, since the day marking the anniversary from which I was spat out into this wretched world is nearly upon us, I've finally been putting serious thought into what the hell to do for it.
My main issue is I have three distinct sets of friends which rarely mingle; my close friends from NJ, my friends from Philly, and my "older" friends I met through... Read More
Oh, I forgot to mention one of the few things that made me smile today. Someone sent a message to the ridiculous Darth Vader account I made on GetThemLaid.com:
Edit: It seems you need to click the "Expand Blog with Comments" button (at the end of this entry) to see the other 90% of this entry that this new fangled crap layout is hiding. Seriously.... Read More
Amazon all the way, baby!
