The Mono project finally makes some great progress towards a native PowerPC build. Can’t wait for it to be more completed so I can code C#/.NET on my PowerBook.
S&M Teddies
Leah spotted this advert for sugar substitutes in one of her British fashion magazine. I think it is hilarious spin on teddy bears.
Meat Market
I’ve been told that the client I am currently working with will not have any assignment/projects for my position for 2004, after my current project is completed in the end of January. And my schizophrenic company apparently does not have a need for my skills in business requirements analysis. In fact, they don’t have a position for business analyst at all. Strange for a software solution company huh?
So it looks like I will have to put myself in the job market soon to look for a new job in the New York area. I’ve already emailed some of my contacts but have heard nothing back yet. And my current immigration status does not make changing job easy either so it will be touch and go next year.
iBook and water don't mix well
On Thursday, Leah spilled some water onto her 3 years old iBook. After a panic phone call to me and followed my instruction on drying out her iBook and letting it stand for a couple of hours, it turned out that it is still fully functional with the exception of the LCD backlight.
She took it to the Apple Store in SoHo and the ‘genius’ in the genius bar told her that it will cost either $300, $400, or $800 to fix, depending which component needs replacing. Of course we didn’t have it fix.
So now, after transferring her Entourage database, documents, and musics to my TiBook, we are now sharing my computer instead. We are still contemplating getting a LCD monitor and turn the iBook into a desktop instead. We’ll see…
CSS Text Shadow in Safari
For those who use browsers that support the text-shadow property of the CSS 2 standard (i.e. Safari), you will be able to enjoy the text shadows that I’ve applied to all the links and post titles.
For those who don’t use Safari, may I suggest switching to Safari if you have a Mac? And if you own a Windows PC, may I suggest a Mac? 😀
