The weekend has gone far too quickly in trying to sort out the odd chores. At long last I am going through our collection of music CD’s bought over the years… it is interesting to note how our music choice change over time. I am importing all the music into my iTunes, that way I would only have to synchronice the one place for any additions… I have gone through miles of CD’s and my eyes are sore from looking at the iTunes panel

I finally bought my much awaited 17″ PowerBook. It is truly an amazing piece of technology. This is my first posting on mac platform. Eating a humble pie here: I now think a bit more about websites working properly on Macintosh, but I tell you this, Safari works at the speed of light. I have only got 512MB of RAM and have a few applications open yet I don’t hear the HDD churning, nor do applications hang, and all of this as I even watch quicktime trailers off the apple site… sweet as!
I am getting ready for a big move in a matter of few days to a week or two… I would be switching platforms. Mac OS here I come. After long discernment and weighing out my options I have made this decision and am really looking forward to this move. Perhaps the only thing that is taking time is the purchase. Wish they were cheaper! My eyes are more or less fixed on the Powerbook 17″/1.5Gz with 128MB Graphic Memory and 5400 rpm ultra ATA drive. To start with I would only have the 512MB RAM but will max it out in a few weeks hopefully.
Perhaps a better place to hold this tutorial would be my Graphics blog. But that has been out of date mainly due to lack of sufficient free time. Although I have been in the process of rejuvinating it gradually.
For some of you who are more concerned than the rest about putting your images up on the web you might like to try your hand at putting in your signature, trademark or copyright on your images. There are MANY ways of doing this little excercise. There are many software that do it, they all have their own approach.
Bumped into W3 Complaints sites this morning and on investigation realised this is one of Sean Ho’s brain child. Congrats Sean this is really a great idea! It helps the conscious web designers collate a reference of sites that are truly being complied to by W3 Guidelines of semantic and valid markup along with Accessibility Guidelines and conformations.
