Playing catch-up...
May. 7th, 2012 09:00 pm...which is entirely different proposition than "playing with ketchup," but I digress...
There was no acknowledgment today of yesterday's transmittal, nor any email asking where the file might be, so I didn't let that distract me.
Instead, I concentrated on clearing away some of the small jobs that have come in recently, along with an assignment that weighed in at around 5,000 target words.
In the early afternoon, I tried to watch something on Boxee while eating lunch, but while the interface is fairly easy to understand, various other aspects of what appear to be Boxiee issues—such as playing audio with no video, playing video with no audio—as well as local bandwidth issues have made the experience less than trouble-free.
The New York tenant's envelope arrived today, and besides his rent check, there were four work checks in the package. Happy days!
iTunes is playing stupid with its download of the latest version of software for the iPad. In the event of a network error, iTunes insists on redownloading the update file from the very start instead of resuming the download at the point where it was interrupted. So far, I've suffered two interruptions after downloading something like 150 MB of the 726.1 MB update file. Grrr...
The weather was most uncooperative today. Two thunderstorms passed through our neck of the woods, each dropping copious quantities of marble-sized hail. During the first storm, I ran outside to get one of our cars out of harm's way, and got nailed pretty well a few times between leaving the garage and getting behind the wheel. Once I got inside the car, it was pretty noisy, let me tell you. In the end, however, I got the car out of the hail. The weather report promises more stormy weather tomorrow. I can't wait.
Cheers...
