A big update
It's been a while since I posted anything here. I'm a fan of bulleted lists so I'll just resort to one of those.
- Went to New York City. Stayed from Christmas to the 3rd and had a nice New Year's. Etta and I had some pretty major drama leading to...
- An un-engagement and break-up. No need to worry about planning a wedding now. Still need to call all the relatives... That said we're still talking, maybe we'll end up out on a date this weekend. What happens with Shasta and the house are open questions.
- Got a MacBook. The trusty old ThinkPad died. I'd sworn I wouldn't buy a Mac until they had a trackpad that you could right click. Someone had convinced me that the new Macs had two separate buttons in their trackpad but you and to enable the right clicking. Turns out they were full of shit and I'm left ctrl+clicking but it's still the best laptop I've ever owned. If you like UNIX then MacPorts.org is your new best friend.
- Booked a ticket to DruaplCon Boston. I used some frequent flyer miles. I don't have a place to stay or conference reservation but that kind of thing works itself out. When I went to the BeOS Developers Convention in Palo Alto back in '99 I ran out of money for a hotel room and slept in a park in the rain. I'm hoping to crash on someone's hotel room floor this time.

The Macbook
Enable right click: System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Trackpad -> "Tap Trackpad using two fingers for secondary click"
Its like having the right button built in (you get used to it very quickly, just have two fingers on the pad when you click and voila).
Goodluck at the conference man, it was good catching up.

ahh good!
glad to see someone enlightened you on how to enable the "right click" functionality on the MacBook. Congrats on the new MacBook! Looking forward to meeting you at Drupalcon Boston.

totally not the same
all you mac fan boys and your apologizing for apple. the whole two ctrl+click or two button clicking is a hack. a huge blemish on an otherwise wonderful machine.
but yeah, looking forward to meeting you too ;)
