Outage + Update

14th March, 2006  |  3 Comments

I apologize for the outage lasting from Sunday to Tuesday. The hard drive crashed on the database server, taking some time to fix.
Everything should be back up by now, including Yoghurt and Counter.

Today I finally succumbed and ordered a brand new, all-good-except-name MacBook Pro 1.83 with a 7200 rpm hard drive, shipping in 3-4 weeks. A memory upgrade to 1.5GB should make this beast even happier. Hoohaa!

The music site is moving ahead at full steam. We're preparing launch by June and although we've settled on the name, there are still soo many things to consider, plan and fix before we are ready.

I bought tickets to New York for one week in April and I can hardly wait to see the Big Apple! I'll be going with Malene, my girlfriend, and no doubt will have a slew of pictures to post here when we get home.

I got my MacBook a couple of weeks ago. I was a little disappointed with the speed at first, because it really doesn't compare to my quad-G5.

Sitting and working on it last week I realized that it's not too bad. I'd try to avoid working on my 1st gen 12" G4, but I'm happy to sit and work on the MacBook. :-)

Hi Ask, good to hear from you :)

I'd say it not comparing to a quad-speed-is-everything-power-is-nothing-G5 is no surprise... I do expect, however, that it will be substantially faster than my current iBook G4 (aka lagbox), faster bus and drive alone.
Playing around with the MacBook in stores really isn't of much use for personal benchmarking, not having your heavily modified setup + apps and files at hand... And the number of Dock bounces to open Safari means nothing to me - it's already open :)

What do you mean you bought tickets for New York! That's the wrong continent!

How about visiting your old mate in Melbourne?
