2112.net and m.poulet and I made the Nerd Sci-Fi Ciné Club of Paris outing last night for John Carter. While not a chef d’oeuvre in the scifi genre, it was a pretty decent movie. Yes, they could easily have cut … Continue reading →

I got Lion installed in 25 minutes yesterday morning with no issues. I was a bit disturbed by having the mouse upside down to be honest. But other than that, smooth upgrade. I didn’t realize that for the Version Control … Continue reading →
