03/03 How clever is Mac OS X? — I guess because deep down I am still a paranoid Windows user, my OS X  is configured to automatically reboot every Saturday at 7:00am, “just to clear out the cobwebs.” A very handy setting by the way, which I wish that Windows XP also had. Am I imagining this? Last week I turned off my Mac – turned off the power – because I was going to be away for a week. When I returned I found that it seems to have rebooted itself on Saturday as it does every Saturday. Can this be? It was off! I dunno, maybe I just imagined having powered it off a week ago… Technorati Tags: osx
02/25 Hello from Curacao — I’ve discovered how hard it is to work on a laptop with a tiny screen, 1.2GHz and, esepcially, 256Mb of memory. Sloooooow! I’ve been keeping up with emails but not really getting into a blogging mindset. This is just a cheat post to make my blog not appear dead 🙂 Curacao? Those of you who know me, know. Those who do not, probably don’t know where Curacao is. Look it up on a map. A little island (and I mean little) in the Caribean, right off the coast of South America. It’s where I was born and grew up,so I get back here regularly. Nice.

02/16 Optical illusion fun — I got this in an email, not sure exactly where it came from but it’s pretty cool. The image  looks like it’s moving, doesn’t it? But actually it’s not an animation at all. It’s your brain that getting its circuits scrambled. You know how you can tell? Just cover most of the image with your hands and look at a small part. It doesn’t move. Amusing! Unknown-1 ! Technorati Tags: funny
