The pictures above don’t do justice to its beauty. It’s just gorgeous.
What I like, save the awesome steampunk or neo-victorian look, is that the watch is entirely mechanical, which only adds to its charm. And now, I can be hit with an EMP blast, and still tell the time! Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll just go back to pretending I’m a neo-victorian, and that this watch just came out of the matter compiler.

So, you know, there are times where you’re just tired as fuck, worn out, and you don’t feel like cooking. At all. When these times come around, you eat junk. Or at least, toast.

Well, this is my junk food:

Crisp iceberg lettuce with shredded shrimp and mayonnaise, avocado, palmtree hearts with a dash of balsamic vinegar, vegetable crispers with strong crackerbarrel cheese and pepper paté.

The sad thing is, I had plenty of junk available in the pantry, I just decided that this would be a quickly-done-meal.

I must be getting older.

Mitigating factors are that the camera is really awesome, and also that I got root on it, voiding my warranty a mere fifteen minutes after unboxing it.

So far so good. The under-the-hood features are actually great, and I pretty much enjoy the tabs in terminal. About damn time. I have yet to see if special keys work by default without me hacking it up. Oh and dtrace has a really fruity front-end in the developper tools. Fairly awesome if you ask me.

Anyways, the point is, I was finding Coverflow amusing for 3 whole seconds before switching back to the usual view, and decided to browse the network. By the way, this now actually works now. So, if you pay attention to the actual icon used for Windows machines on the network…

Now that’s fairly ballsy. Not too professional, but I chuckled nonetheless.

I SO feel like running a honeypot…

I power up the laptop, and see this.

For those not speaking french, it means “No battery available”.

Fuck. And I’m about to go on a trip to toronto. The battery of my older Powerbook died the same way in the very same outlet. What the fuck is wrong with this power outlet, I ask you? Damn.

Opera in the morning is too much, especially when you have an ear infection, and are trying to do some work.

It now stopped but then he proceeds to watch shitty videos, again, with the sound at full blast, like he has been doing for the past two months. When he’s gone, I’ll disconnect the internal speaker of his desktop machine. Watch me.

One new feature of the latest version that came out last week would be Coherence Mode. It is similar to running X11 applications “rootless”. I’m not sure of how to describe it. To cite David Young from StuffOnFire, who describes it in much better words than I would:

Have I ever mentioned how freaking awesome Parallels Coherence mode is? Probably not, because it’s only been out for a week. Well, it’s freaking awesome. What do you run Windows for? Visual Studio? Office? You put the taskbar on auto-hide and it’s just like using a really ass-tastic Mac application, like something made by Adobe. And it runs on your Boot Camp partition! Hell yeah. If there were a Mac Software Engineering Team of the Year award, I’d suggest that the Parallels guys get it.

I just wanted to mention how awesome it was really. No acerbic rant about stuff, or witty comments, really. Just a plain “Oh shit it’s awesome, I want people to know this and belch, fart and shit their pants at the same time when they see this”.

I’ll post a screenshot later on.
