Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Random question of the day: Has anyone had trouble with getting their new generation ipods to turn off? I know how you're supposed to do it, obviously, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Mmm, I only have a 4g one. By chance is it plugged into a power source (dock? wall outlet? etc.)? Have you tried leaving it in pause and not touching it? It takes about 5 min, but it will power down.

Or rather, go in sleep mode. So it can boot faster. Were you wanting it to completely turn off?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Yes, and no. (I tried all combinations of plugged in/not I could think of). It stays in full-on on mode until the battery wears out, even if left on pause. I think it's broken.

Lee, sounds like a visit to the nearest Apple Store's Genius Bar is in order!

Yep. Or in my case, a trip to G., who is my equivalent.

Anyone else using Aperture? I got it for Christmas and it's currently importing photos on my G5. Looks to be pretty slick and should really help with working with RAW format images. mainly wondering if anyone else is using it and if they have any tips or tricks.

Um, was there supposed to be something after the annoucement?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Apparently it's a secret announcement. Either that, or evil forces got to Daniel before he had a chance to finish.
