All is well that ends in pizza.

Not a matter of fixing so much as updating.

I think there's a new one with Tiger, I don't know if it'll be backrolled to OS X 10.3.x or not.

No clues about my Azureus problem?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It may be the same problem that Erin and I had. That message did pop up for me before the upgrade and the cessation of download.

Maybe the MPAA hacked 'em.

Just tried out this free cyber cafe software. Very cool. [link]

have we talked about this?

29 March 2005 - Toshiba has today announced a new lithium ion battery, which, it claims, can recharge 80% of the battery's energy capacity in just one minute, 60 times faster than the other lithium ion cells. It takes an unspecified 'few' more minutes for a complete recharge. The battery has a long life cycle, losing only 1% of its capacity after 1,000 cycles of discharging and recharging. Due to be launched next year, it will initially be used to power hybrid electric vehicles but could be used for smaller devices in future, such as mobile phones and digital cameras. >[link]

No - and while I love what it will do for computer battery life, I'm afraid I'm really excited about what it will do for electric cars. Cause if you you can have a battery that only loses 1% of capicity per 1,000 discharge cycles it might last 10,000 cycles. (A battery is considered usable so long as it has 90% or above capability.) And if you had batteries that lasted 10,000 cycles that would be the life of the car - which brings down total cost of ownership of electric vehicles to something comparable to normal cars.

move out and draw fire

And less messy than that new tech the Japanese have invented that runs on blood.

Blood is lifeenergy, lackbrain. Why do you think we eat it? It's what keeps you going, makes you warm, makes you hard, makes you other than dead.

Have bought camera! Nikon Coolpix 5600. Haven't opened it yet, as am waiting for my sister to tell me what sort of camera she has that they would be willing to send me (long story, they found it, and don't need it...). If hers isn't spiffy, I'm keeping this one.

Also the 1gig memory card was on sale for the same price as the 512, so I got it. Hoping it'll be enough. No clue, really, though I don't really remember ot take pictures a lot, even when travelling.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm going to be ordering more RAM for my G5 when it arrives (which should be tomorrow or Tuesday, depending on FedEx), and I know ND recommended Other World Computing a while back. Are there differences I should know about among the brands they carry? (Samsung, Techworks, and their own.)
