Yesterday was a long, long day but in a good way. Whenever there’s a concert and I’m volunteering for EA (Ecology Action, not the videogame company Electronic Arts), I usually take in a late dinner at Katz’s, then go to bed around 1-130 AM. Definitely makes a late morning the following day. Then I had to get my Wii Fit time in (I’ll have a “review” after a month of using it). The remainder of the day was spent hanging out with my friends Jeremy and Tina at their primary business. Why? Jeremy used to be a Mac Genius so he had the tools, skill and patience to upgrade my Mac Mini. If you noticed, the site was down most of Monday. I figured it was safe to do because everyone else is trying to recuperate from the weekend. Then it was restored to what I had before the disastrous upgrade to 10.4.11; down to 10.4.9 when I imaged it last week. Jeremy was a champ too. He bumped up my hard drive from the puny 80 GB to 250 GB at cost. Now my stream (KMAG) and site Picayune can continue to expand for at least several more years.
Thankfully, the “restoration” of 10.4.9 solved my Java spinning out of control problem with Picayune. Now we’ll have more time to debate the merits of going to 10.5 Server (maybe) and getting the best theme from Drupul to take over around the third anniversary (highly likely). The latter will be similar to D&D’s transition from 3.5 to Fourth Edition; you’ll probably get pieces of it since Blojsom and Drupul can run side by side yet unlike D&D, I promise much less disappointment!
Let me know if you notice any improvements in the Mini’s performance with the site too. I have, namely in how quickly it responds to authentications and restarting my stream.
