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.

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.

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.
