MacPattie

Song Lyric of the Day:

I’m retracing every step in my head / What did I miss back then? / I was so, so misled

Rooney / “When Did Your Heart Go Missing?

10:35PM.
I killed two birds with one stone today. I’ve been wanting to take some of the Mac tutorials at West Town Mall’s Apple store and I’m indulging in the 33 Days of Pattie. So what to do? Attend the .Mac tutorial over lunch. My only classmate was a 70-year-old Frenchman. (“You can log in from anywhere? Tres bien!“) Now I feel much more confident about what .Mac can do and, more importantly, that I can get the most bang for my buck out of it. Which makes the hubby very, very happy. Now to back everything up on iDisk.

After a year, I’m pretty confident and comfortable with my MacBook, but I can certainly stand to develop a better appreciation for how to use its programs for maximum benefit. When it comes to technology, I have the patience of Dick Cheney on a quail hunt, which is something I really need to work on. Of course, I also seem to have some crazy gift for making technology turn on me. I’ve actually gotten the blue screen of death on my MacBook a few times, and that’s supposed to be a physical impossiblity; the husband is less than amused by my technological prowess. So if you see me heading your way while you’re working on a computer, be sure to save your work, and do it quickly. Because chances are, when I end up standing right next to you, your computer’s gonna go keyboard-up.
