Gobble, Gobble.

Well tomorrow is Turkey Day, I’ll be in Grover Beach with my fam celebrating it up, leaving tomorrow sometime and driving my rents up in my car is my guess (I like driving my car) - but all in all it should be fun, going to take the camera, and maybe have dad/mom drive part of the way so i can roll down my window and take some shots as we go - its a fun drive, that and I have never got to be in my backseat yet, always driving!

Got some fun news the last few days, a few new server contracts coming my way, which will help the finances some a nice recoup from the MBP purchase but that and the fact that across the board now my common OS is Mac, it is really easy to work across my network, not that I couldn’t with Windows, but a common OS is handy for some of the Mac-ish things I can do with some apps, like SubEthaEdit - so should come in handy.

I am trying to come up with something new for my bedroom, and considering getting a new LaserJet for the home office that is Mac compatible, as I have my Epson for Photo work, but with the Windows rigs slowly being phased out, I am hitting less and less things that can use the LJ1000, considering a 2300N which is Mac and Network ready, so it’d be nice to throw it on as a Network printer vs. something tied to a certain computer, just have it always on, and accessable from anywhere in the house, as well as routed into the linux box so I can get to it from the outside world.

Lastly, the war on Spam continues, its gotten worse for some, but not many companies are working with me and how I do business, they want me to pre-purchase X number of accounts to get a discount that allows me a minimal mark-up (if any) so for instance, at the base buy-in it’d be $2 per account for customers to make me like $0.10 profit, so at this point it’s either A) Buy a anti-spam/virus appliance -or- B) Live with the fact I am getting no profit, and offer 0 support to customers on the functionality, but simply pass the buck. Not sure what I am going to do yet, but hopefully I can come up with something soon.

Anywhoo - must find the adapter for the MBP (still needs a name) - as I have been sitting here over 3 hours and this battery has to give out soon! (not that I am wanting it to!) anywhoo - have a good Turkey Day folks, don’t eat too much!
