On the last MacBreak Weekly Leo reviewed a new Get Things Done app called iGTD. I’ve never used one of these programs before, but thought I’d try it. I’m really liking it - and as I’ve been trying to learn more about Quicksilver at the same time, the way the two work together is really neat. Just a few keystrokes and a new task can be entered - no switching out of the program you’re in. Really nice and quick.
Boy, today was a long one. I’ve found, in the past, that if I’m upgrading a machine from one version of Mac OS X to another, 4 hours is about average. I don’t mean a simple upgrade where we just stick in the CD and upgrade the existing install. This time includes backing everything up, reformatting the drive and then doing a fresh install. Or - perhaps, doing an archive and install - but then setting up printers, scanners, etc. And when that is finished, sitting with the client and making them feel comfortable with the new operating system. Today I did four machines. One I backed up and reformatted, the others I did Archive and Installs. And then three of the machines got Quickbook updates (or installs) and two of them got iLife. This took just about 8 hours - the last two hours were getting the sharing worked out and figuring out some weird printer stuff. Anyway… long day.
My airport is working again after reinstalling the 10.4.8 combo updater. Installing the latest security update from Apple (Security Update 2006-007) caused the airport to not see any networks anytime after waking up from sleep. Anyway - all fixed now.
So - a little post to test my install of Wordpress at Go Daddy. I’ll write more about this shortly.
