Renegade Folk Hero

Never believe a time frame that comes from my mouth.

Yes, FBBB and Nesca are still being prepped for DVD. The delay’s for a good reason though. I’m playing around with a more sophisticated DVD authoring program that’ll let us do more stuff. For starters, I decided to heed some advice we got earlier and add subtitle tracks to the dubs. Which means the reason I haven’t done FBBB or Nesca yet is because A.) I had to learn how to make a subtitle track and B.) I had to go back and do ReDeath again. But I’m getting the hang of this thing and the next two discs should move a little faster. Won’t even bother guessing a date at this point, you and I both know I’ll miss it anyway.

I think I said this:
“The sword has not intent, merely a will to cut.”

I think I said it, but I’m not sure. Sometimes I remember things by accident without all the ancillary data. But if I did actually say the above, I’d like credit. Not that it matters.

Fucking people call me on my cell phone trying to scam me.
“Domain Registry Support” domainregistrysupport.com is a scam.
I’m posting here so you know. 866-383-0986 is their scam phone number.

I’ve been busy yesterday and today getting my MacBook Pro up and running. I had forgotten how many ancillary applications I use on a regular basis.

One big headache was getting universal binaries for my F/OSS tools.
Turns out, darwinports sucks even more than usual during the intel transition. Luckily Fink installed nicely from source (not that I prefer the huge build times).
Eclipse required a hack to the 3.1.1 release to get working.
Apple’s default install doesn’t have X11. Worse, the downloadable builds of the X11 app don’t install over the intel libraries. I had to install from the restore disk, not exactly comfortable with that.
iCal isn’t universal? WTF.

In any case, most things are working alright. It’ll still be a little rough for a while, but this transition looks to be somewhat smooth, albeit not nearly as smooth as Steve Jobs would have us believe.
