We're under Tornado Warnings, and have had the sirens going on and off for the last hour or so. It figures, my new PowerBook arrives, followed closely by Armageddon. Fortunately, my office is in the basement, with no windows, so I don't really have anyplace more secure to go here at work, so I might as well keep working until the walls fall down around me.
A watched PowerBook never ships...
Hurry up and ship the thing already, Apple! The 1GB RAM chip is sitting here waiting to be installed...
I saw in the paper that Waldorf is looking for a Director of Information Technology Services, maybe I'll apply. I could live in my hometown, and I doubt the number of qualified candidates interested in moving to the Forest City, Iowa Greater Metropolitan Area is rather small. :)
Here are a few more miscellaneous notes about Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition 9.0:
The Macintosh client is no longer included on the media, you have to contact Symantec Support via phone, and they'll give you an FTP address from which you can download it.
The packager tool is no longer supported, and even though it's included on the CD, and the documentation included with it tells you where you can locate the .pmi file to build a package, the .pmi file isn't in that location, and you can't actually use it to build a package. Why they included it, I don't know, but when I called them, they said that the documentation is wrong.
Anyone else getting the sense that they hurried this out the door a bit early?
We watched Master & Commander last night, which exceeded my expectations by quite a bit. I thought it was going to be one of those cheesy movies intended to draw a large audience that's completely predictable from the outset, but was surprised at how much originality there was to the movie. If you haven't seen it, it's now available for rental, and is certainly worth your money. The DTS soundtrack is great, when the scenes were down in the lower areas of the ship you can hear people walking or running on the decks above you, and it sounded so real that I thought there was someone upstairs in our house.
