So this past weekend was Daylight Savings Time in the US. Many people claimed how happy they were that they got an extra hour of sleep. I say that’s BS. I didn’t get an extra hour of sleep. The clock fell back and hour and you know what I did? I woke up at 7 instead of 8. No extra hour of sleep there. I had my 7 hours of rest and that’s when my body told me to wake up. The spring is even worse, because you actually do lose an hour of sleep. So right now my internal clock is all messed up. I think it’s time to get rid of DST. Who needs it?
After looking at Leopard, watching the videos, looking at the features, and taking a trip to the Apple Store for some hands-on experience, I bought a MacBook. I really enjoyed playing around at the Apple Store. I’ve never been to one, because there isn’t one that is that close to me. So I drove to the closest one and played around with all the gadgets. The MacBook, the MacBook Pros, the iMacs and the Mac Pros, and the iPhone were fun to mess around with and to see their capabilities. The employees were very helpful and answered any question a PC guy might have. I was very impressed with their customer service. The store sold the last MacBook of the specs I wanted, so I ordered my MacBook online. What makes it even better was the educational discount I received because I work for a participating school district. I can’t wait to get my new laptop and stop lugging around the POS that I carry around now. Is there any software that people recommend? I’m looking for a lightweight text editor (I use the awesome PSPad for the minor code editing I do). Also, what’s a good FTP client? I’d like to stick with open source apps if possible.
This weekend I have a three-day weekend. Is there no better feeling than knowing you have an extra day in your weekend? I think not. (ok, well, maybe a few things). I have Friday off this week and am looking forward to being away from school for an extra day. I may have plans on Saturday, if we can ever decide on something, but other than that, my weekend should be fairly relaxing, besides the cleaning I plan on doing tomorrow. And do you know what the best part about this three-day weekend is? Knowing that the following weekend is a four-day weekend. I love November so much. Why can’t every weekend be a three-day weekend?
