Apple's Lion and iOS5

Well I'm back after a month! Went holidaying for a bit and lazed for the rest. :) Hope I'll be able to keep this going now ...

Apple has promised its new Operating System -- Lion -- "in July" priced at just under $30! I registered on their website to be notified when the update is ready and intend to be one of the first to get it! From what I've seen of the Keynote videos and other "hands-on" blogs from some developers, it is awesome! (Wish I had a multi-touch trackpad on my oldish MacBook so that I can better enjoy the swipes and pinches which make Lion such an enjoyable experience!) Windows 8, too, has a few nifty multi-touch gestures built into it but nothing in my opinion to touch the king of the jungle!

Another upgrade promised "in the fall" by Apple is their new iOS5. As I'm primarily interested only in the iPhone 4 upgrade, I'll confine myself to that. Here, too, multi-touch gestures have been built into the OS and this, together with a new notification system and over 200 other tweaks, make iOS5 very, very desirable indeed. I've registered to be notified of this too and can't wait for it to happen!

Will write more when I finally upgrade both my MacBook and my iPhone 4. (Even toying with the idea of buying a new Mac with a multi-touch trackpad and the new Thunderbolt I/O port, just so I'll enjoy the Lion experience better!)

It is finished … but is it?

Just finished shooting and editing four versions of a standard presentation video. The way I see it is that we have one standard presentation – bare bones, non-detailed. As separate pieces, we have one presentation for each of our ventures. Thus, when the need arises, we can plug in each venture’s presentation into the standard one, reducing time, size, etc.
The good thing is that the project up unto the 24th of Feb is over. But will it remain so for longer? Will more tweaking be done? Ahh well, that’s all part of life, isn’t it? Do something… undo it if it doesn’t work… tweak it if it seems to work…

No beginning yet...

Well... it appears as though things haven't changed much. Haven't plucked up the courage to begin anew... so what else is new!!

Health-wise, things are pretty much their dreary same. S, though, appears to be dwindling because of her mom's demise recently. Wish she'd realize that we all depend on her to hold us together. Without her, we'd all probably drift apart.

Ahh maudlin, thy name is me!!

More later...
