WTF? Google maps on the iPhone is showing me a completely wrong map! There's being lost and then there's being lost with a GPS in your hand.
Nothing to adapt between Firewire 800 and 400, @siracusa : just a cable with different connectors on each end. Have had one for years.
@danfrakes Makes me wonder why there aren't any keyboards with the numbers on the left... (But mousing with left hand works for me, mostly.)
@raygun01 BoulderDash FTW! I was also a big Elite fan but not yet on the C64, it was too slow for that game.
Wait a minute, @evoque ... I'm traveling for a couple of weeks, out of touch with the latest gossip, and now @ericasadun is writing for Ars?
@drkiki Deregulation led to _much_ lower (fixed) phone call charges and, arguably, allowed for the internet as we know it today.
First train to Belgium canceled, second one 40 minutes late. I'm not enjoying this.
@evoque (belatedly) if Obama wins this means new rules for civility during the race, if McCain wins, new rules for selecting vice presidents
Boat is moving! Going to go on deck for a bit, then sleep until we're in Holland.
@GlennF Belated welcome to the Ars fold, Glenn!
In Cambridge, completely cut off from the internet--but enjoyable nonetheless.
Another hang in DVDPlayer...
Another hang after trying to play a DVD in DVD Player. :-(
Hang when playing a DVD--in DVD Player, not Front Row. I hope this is a coincidence, not an indication of 10.5.5's stability...
Front Row still not right after updates: kernel panic when trying to watch a DVD.
Testing if updated Front Row still locks up playing audio: yes, it does. Then screen came back, but with corrupted desktop image...
Back in Madrid!
MacBook Pro locked up... On the plus side, it's been months since the last time that happened.
And I'm back in the Netherlands: why use headphones with your media player, just crank up the speaker.
