Link swiped from Digg - I like it. <http://marbleofdoom.com/> Cheers, Ian > Link swiped from Digg - I like it. > > <http://marbleofdoom.com/> Probably dug or something, as I added 30 seconds for photoshop, and it was just under a year, then it was a year and 9 days after I hit submit. So I did a refresh and it said 384 years, so I went away and came back, and it says -68 years, 0 months, -1 days -6 hours. So I think someone forgot to cancel out people playing silly buggers, and overflowing numbers!

I would say that it shows either how rich mac owners are, how bad photoshop is or how common software copying is, as those two are free and photoshop is far from it.

Either that or all those people are actually waiting for Finder without realising... that's about the only thing that beachballs for me, largely due to me telling my smb-mounted NAS box that it's allowed to send its drives to sleep. Irritatingly, a Finder beachball also beachballs over VMware. WTF? Oh, and Chicken of the VNC takes forever to give up when the remote box is mistyped or not answering.

Oh god, and all the donkeys. Every time I do anything on this machine there is a silent beachball, if one of my two external hard drives has gone to sleep. I have no idea if there is a cure.

Execution of the tech lead responsible for it, followed by execution of his replacement should it not be fixed in the next .0.0.1 increment. This one -really- annoys me, second only to the 'oh no, a mounted drive that was there when you closed the lid at home but isn't when you open the lid again some 40 miles away' shuffle. It's usually faster to reboot* than it is to wait for the machine to sort itself out. Cheers, Ian *By reboot, I mean hold down the power key and then switch on again. It won't usually allow you to simply reboot. > > JOh god, and all the donkeys.

IRTA 'excrement', but it's still early. > This one -really- annoys me, second only to the 'oh no, a mounted drive > that was there when you closed the lid at home but isn't when you open > the lid again some 40 miles away' shuffle.

I seem to have made my machine friendlier by ditching my dock enhancer and other dock app. Perhaps they are Panthery things that don't really like Tiger. Despite apparent compatibility.

Despite apparent compatibility. Vanilla isn't exciting (except for vanilla freaks) but it still tends to be best.
