Jonbu the baker

I didn’t realize I had this problem until today. Things like Expose and Dashboard were all animated smoothly, so when I first noticed that there was a bit of lag (frame rate issues, i guess) moving windows around, I thought it’s just some other apps taking up cpu. Turns out, people have had this problem, and there’s a solution!

Jerky Graphics

I’ve already installed this graphical update before, so to be safe, I restarted in safe mode and manually re-installed this update. Things are smoother now! wow.

While doing this I noticed another problem tho. The restart instructions from Apple said to wait for the boot sound before pressing “shift”, but I didn’t hear a sound… Where did my boot sound go? It was one of my favorite too..

More pictures still to come from my November trip. Just been sleeping a lot more lately. And in between I upgraded to OS X Leopard. This should go into another post but, currently DoubleCommand doesn’t work with Leopard. Neither does some of Logitech’s control software.

I’ve traveled to Taiwan and Japan enough times now that it’s not a “getaway” anymore. Now when I go there it feels like I’ve always been there. Things are familiar, just like everyday life. It’s very pleasant and casual. Just like when you’re in a dream, you don’t feel like you’re dreaming. It’s only when you wake up that you realize how different things were in the dream.

I don’t know the places well but the food in Taiwan is awesome. Just the environment you eat it in is usually not so great.
