mac a honey witcha zune?

"In a word, no. I've seen the demonstrations on the Internet about how you can find another person using a Zune and give them a song they can play three times. It takes forever. By the time you've gone through all that, the girl's got up and left! You're much better off to take one of your earbuds out and put it in her ear. Then you're connected with about two feet of headphone cable."

truer words haven't been said, and coming from the 'mac daddy' himself, u know u can take it to the bank ;P

the mbp club

most of the posts on this blog will be made on my trusty new (for about 4 months now) friend, charybdis; it's an mbp, that as of this posts spots OS X 10.4, instances of fedora core 4 and windows xp sp2 (over parallels). the first time someone asked me how i felt about her, i said she was graceful--that hasn't changed in 4 months.

i run smultron as my basic development editor (vim for purely text stuff), have instances of Callisto (and Europa), Netbeans (5b2, 6m3), Xcode and ANTLRWorks for dev stuff; Callisto finds more use most of the time though. looking forward to adding an adobe (or whoever creates one's) flex ide (for mac) to that list

my fc4 install, forms my basic 'remote' test environment (with tomcat 5.5.17, postgresql 8.0x among others for a current project), and will continue to play this role with added software as and when I need a linux test deployment target.

windows is on there for a few random stuff i still haven't found mac/linux equivalents for, as well as for adobe software i'm either testing out or still using; i might strip out most of the unnecessary stuff over time, and use it as a target for any .net /winfx stuff i decide to dabble in, in the future.

for writing and word processing stuff, as well as the planning that leads to them, I have neooffice, freemind, and omnioutliner.

a couple of other random code running around here include colloquy (irc), skype b2/msn messenger 6, democracy (i'net tv), firefox 2rc2, iterm (and terminal), the google stuff for mac (google.com/mac), keynote etc

you've been introduced to my trusty mbp; joined the club yet? how is it helping u do what u do?
