In case it doesn't work...
Oct. 26th, 2007 07:14 pmI am about to install Leopard on this computer. This means there's a nonzero chance that this computer will not work for a period of days. In case that happens, so long, Livejournal! You'd be missed, if I didn't have five other computers!
Seriously, though.
I discovered two things tonight.
One is that my mall has a Teavana in it. Not the far away mall, the close mall! I hardly ever go to any mall, so this was a surprise, but I got some Keemun Imperial tea. Also a DS game called Prism, in keeping with my policy of buying anything that Penny Arcade likes, because Tycho and I share a taste in games.
The other is never to go to an Apple store. I went to go buy Leopard at the Apple store, and there was a line at 5:00 of maybe ten people, then at 6:00 (when it went on sale) it stretched around the hall. Ridiculous. I went to Fry's on the way home, and their Leopard-release festivities consisted of a teenager shoveling handfuls of copies out of a shopping cart on to a shelf. No line whatsoever. And they even had Astronaut Ice Cream. Fry's rules!
From the horrible department, though, I am on call tonight for a deployment, so at some point I am going to pack my new tea and my new DS game and go wait for a hundred megs of our product to copy across a network and then turn it on. This is so worth what they bill me out for, I know...
Compatibility:
This is the part of the post useful to other people. I'm listing out what I find, as I find it.
Emacs: works fine. This is in stark contrast to 10.4, which left me alone and editorless for about a month and a half.
Boodler: Works fine. Also in contrast to 10.4, which actually deleted it.
FTDI drivers (for an Arduino microcontroller): works fine.
DrScheme: fine
Coda: fine.
Textmate: fine.
Now for the bad news:
The Gimp: doesn't work at all, crashes on start. I'll play with X11 later and see if that fixes it.
Fire: doesn't work at all, will never be fixed. I'm using Adium instead, but I don't like it.
XJournal: doesn't work at all, hope it's fixed soon. I am using the web client.
PithHelmet: Leopard removes it on install, and the installer won't run. I bet it's fixed real soon though, the guy had a working version for the Safari 3 beta.
Now I'm going to go play with dev tools...
