This is the last status update I have from Apple regarding my PowerBook. Yes, it was sent to them the week before, but not repairs, nor even testing was done on my system. Needless to say, I am more than slightly annoyed – for this second round, they never bothered to do anything but write up my repair order; no further work was done until I called and asked for a status earlier in the week.

Apple, I love your hardware, but your service department is becoming weak. Crack that whip once in awhile.

If you are in dire need for a MKVToolNix update, or other wonderful tools, I will gladly build them – just send me a Mac. ;)

I’m still about, but without free time, and currently, a primary UNIX system to tinker on, all of my projects are on hold.

Fear not, young lads and lasses. I’ve got it covered!

On another geeky note, I decided to write a simple little script that would enumerate through known letters corresponding to the digits on a telephone keypad. I’ve discovered that I’ve got quite a geeky telephone number: DGTLVAX. (Alternatively, FIT LUCY :()

I’ve been quite inactive here due to my move. I’m finally nearly-fully situated in my new apartment, and I love it. I have purchased a small computer desk, and now have connectivity. Yay!

I’ll be catching up and trying to get all of my ports current as time permits.
