welcome!

welcome to the new site! well kinda new, since you know, we have been tweaking it for like 3 days now.

over the last few days, i have been mostly just being a bum, suggesting ideas to jake about what i want since i have zilch ideas about what i can do with all this new MySQL thing and php and whatever bullshit that wordpress contains.

ah the joys of being a non-geek. that said, i like how it’s cleaner now and i am going to personalise it a little further once i actually got the know how for it, such as, WHERE do i fiddle the changes in.

another massive accomplishment i am happy to announce that came from not doing much the last few days but just sleeping, was that i finally got my ibook all done up with the right OS.

remember how i bought an ibook a few weeks ago? according to various pamphlets and even the sales person, my ibook was suppose to come with Mac OS 10.4, aka, the tiger. however, i guess something fucked up (what i could understand over the mumbled phonecall conversation was that the guy took the wrong goods…) and i got my ibook with 10.3.8 which i updated to 10.3.9 or something like that. i know i had to update the OS anyways, but regardless, it was panther that i had, not tiger.

totally different branch of the feline family.

so anyways, linxy had been bugging me to go back to get it changed or fix or something before it’s too late. but amidst all the holidays with relatives, busying with actually levelling for once and trying to get a job and sleeping at odd ours, it all went out of my head.

not that i don’t want a tiger, hell i do. have u guys checked out the dashboard widgets? it’s like a second desktop that u can personalise and do everything on. and as far as i can see, it gets addictive.

well kinda. if you look at the downloads, people seem to be making more and more of the widgets. at some stage, i believe they are going to be so addicted to it, they arent ever going to exit dashboard except when they have to shutdown.

anyways, i called up apple and they got everything clarified with me. i have to fill up a form and pay about 15 bux for the upgrade to be shipped to be. so basically its 15 bux for shipping and handling. but the guy, i guess, was probably not very happy to see me in the shop again, considering my prior card problems that he encountered.

upon completion of my form, he disappeared, and i need assistance. i had some questions and was wondering if they could just waiver the price for me. true its not a very big price to pay as compared to the market price of the actual os upgrade, which is 129 for students i believe. but i felt it was their mistake and why should i have to pay for it. principal of the matter.

then i asked the guy at the cashier, who upon hearing my story, mumbled something like “i think i have one lying around” (these guys seem to like mumbling… must be all that technology where talking is not required). and voila! i have gotten my new OS that i should have from the start.

and i didn’t have to pay for it XD gotta love that guy

i had a few problems coming home though. i found all my bundled software, such as I Life and AppleWorks was all gone after installation. the guys i called didn’t seem to know where to find it either. they actually sound confused. so, being desperate, i was intending to reinstall Panther and then do another form of upgrade to Tiger. On the Disc though, i found that there was just a seperate install for bundled software. yay

so now, i have a great website up and running, thanks to boyfriend, and a great laptop running fine thanks to apple.. well partially

i know this site isn’t perfect as compared to others, nor is it wholly made by me, not even the pixels and stuff. but hey, it’s pretty and something to good to drop into so i am happy
