When I was a baby my mother didn’t know how to act around babies, so she found someone who could: Big Bird. I watched insane amounts of of Sesame Street when I was a kid. I don’t even have any idea how much I owe to that typewriter singing “nu na nu nu nu” or Kermit looking at “h” on one side of the brick wall and “at” on the other and the constant repition of “hhhh…aaaat, hhh…aaat” until finally we got to rejoice and scream hat from the top of our lungs.

I don’t own it, I can’t say that I don’t like it…but I’m not sure what one has to do with the other….

A while back one of my co-workers wanted to set up cfengine for our servers. Now, for the uninitated, cfengine is a system of consolidating configurations for large groups of servers. At first I was highly resistant to cfengine because it was new, I knew nothing about it and the more things in cfengine, the less things I could actually fix. So one day I made her give me as much information on cfengine as possible and teach me everything she knows about it.

I have not yet taken the time to talk about Mac OS X 10.4.3. The new update is almost a hundred megs and includes a ton of features and bug fixes (as you’d expect from a 100M download). First off, the most important is that Safari now passes the Acid2 test, so if your web page doesn’t look good or work in Safari it only means that you suck. Another update which I’m really glad to see is iChat encryption.

I got to play with the new iMac G5 at the Apple Store on Sunday. Photo Booth is pretty cool.
