Stuck at work. Some new equipment going in and it isn't going as planned, which actually is going as usual for here.

Marble sized hail. It should be OK. If not, I know a guy.

Our weather last week was pretty good. Light breeze, 70*, not too humid, sunny.

Trade ya Rick! Warm and humid here just like you prefer! Even inside at the moment.

Well, we didn't get everything fixed so we are back at it today. Got home about midnight. Rick was kind enough to keep me company a bit while our vendor was sorting things. What a pain when your old equipment fails the morning you are scheduled to put the new stuff in and then the cloud portion of the filtering screws stuff up because it cant see the old stuff anymore.

I love technology. Wait, where's that green again?

Yea, (geezer voice) why back in the day of analog changing to digital photography.....

Our local Oklahoma City company was working with a company in Canada to develop their prototype film recorder. It would take a digital file and write it to photographic film and then we could put it the enlarger and make a conventional photographic print. There were no color inkjet printers back then.

Anyway I was always pushing the envelope of what the equipment could do and trying things the engineer geeks could imagine. One Friday evening we were on a conference call and I had their entire engineering staff on the line and I heard several of them say "I have never seen it do that before." Late at night one of them finally came up with a line of code that he uploaded to the BBS I ran and I had him walk me through the steps to modify the code and patch it with his file. State of the art 1990. One of those guys I swear could think in binary code. I managed to get it to make the 8x10 negative and super high resolution and we made 4x6 back-light foot prints. The customer was astonished how good it looked and so were we.

The 2nd Commandment of Macintosh...

Easy is hard.

Meaning if something is easy someone worked very hard to make it that way.

The first is Computers are fun.
The 3rd is 1,2,3 many backups.

I wish they would apply that "Easy is Hard" to iTunes. That has to be the worst piece of crap software on my computers. The US Congress could make better software than iTunes. It SHOULD be real simple to arrange my photos and music or movies right there in iTunes. They could not make it harder if they had the IRS write simplified tax code!

And there is nothing fun about iTunes so that rule is blown as well.
