I’ve been playing around with this JavaScript technology called lightbox. But I didn’t get it to work, unfortunately. There is no documentation. And I didn’t have much time to fiddle with it.
This is the first actual work I’ve done on my MacBook, and I have to say it’s performing perfectly. I thought I would have to get a widescreen tablet to work on my widescreen monitor, but it actually works fine. And the two fingers scrolling on the Mac books trackpad makes navigating web sites so much easier.
My mom and grandma are at ShopRite getting supplies for when my mom and I go to Wildwood tomorrow. We’re going to stay in a hotel and cook our own food, so of course we’re bringing a bunch of stuff. My sunburn is going away, which is pretty awesome. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was.
This is also the first time I’ve done voice-recognition on my new computer, and I must say it is much faster. This is the model I got.
Old computer:
1.66 Core Duo processor
80GB hard drive
New system:
2.16GHz Core 2 Duo processor
120GB hard drive
The Core 2 processors are Intel’s latest generation, and are quite fast. I’m going to take the two gigs of memory from my old computer and put it in the new one once I get home. I would do it now, but I don’t have any tools and I don’t want to damage either of the computers doing a slapdash job.
I had always wanted lightbox on my site, but I thought it would be a pain to implement… and it still might be, but I’m having fun playing around with it. Well, I had better clean up the basement… I have USB cables running the length of the basement and my grandma is not going to be happy stepping over the cable spaghetti when they come back from ShopRite.
Yesterday Apple unveiled new iMacs. I saw this picture on Digg… it kind of made me smile.
I see cable spaghetti…
