lol I'm too tired to think of a creative title. Just wanted to give my account a little life while I focus on completing assignments and apply for internships.:P Yeah, busy,busy. Also my internet is really wonky, so I gotta go to the library in order to browse. (Even then, it kinda sucks, but meh.)

<h2>Macbook, REJOICE!! Sorta.</h2>
Alright, I finally bought a Mac!XP Geez, ever since my desktop died, I've been using my 3-year old HP laptop so much that it can't survive half an hour without a powercord. Anyways, these macs are interesting. It's got good power, speed, stronger wireless, and a nice smooth interface. Still, I am consistently irritated by its...how shall I say it...'quirks'. Why do I need to add all my pictures into iphoto to view their thumbnails? :frustrated: Why can I not make shortcut folders? Are you doing stupid sh*t cuz you're trying to look "alternative"? Is that it?!:pissed: But, weirdness aside, overall it's a good solid machine. I'm sure I'll be able to enjoy it, I just have to learn it.=)

<h2>Frontpage WTF?!?!</h2>

Hey, I don't know how many of you were there when it happened, but a couple days ago there was this animation in the ';popular' section on the frontpage. It was a stupid stick-figure humping the word "your mom". Yet somehow, the deviant who submitted it got 36,000 pageviews in LESS THAN 3 DAYS. Turns out he was just a 15-year old loser, and all his deviations were stolen off the web. He's banned now, fortunately, but I was kinda shocked that it took a whole day since his stick animation got frontpage before it happened. Anyways, the whole thing just reminded me that most people on deviantart are shallow and immature. It's not such a bad thing tho. It just means there's no need to worry about being "popular" getting tons of favs and pageviews. Really, all that means nothing in the long run.:nod: There's lots of talented, kind, intelligent people here who may be a bit underappreciated, but are great friends/resources to those who have the mind to reach out.=)

On second thought... Usually, the popular things are some stupid Naruto fanart. They were technically good, but didn't have much beyond "Oh look, it's Sasuke! Isn't that awesome?!:lol:"

*Argh* Rant's over. I need to do my freakin' homework already!XS

That's one weird story!

In any case, it's nice to talk to you again!
:iconavencri:
I totally agree with the frontpage situation!

To view thumbnails, open any Finder window, select View > Show View Options. Here you can set the defaults for folders, including a tick box for "show preview". I also recommend choosing Sort by Kind to keep things sanely organised.

I don't know what you mean by shortcut folders, but if you want a shortcut to a folder, then simply drag a folder somewhere holding Apple('command';)+Alt.

It took me a few months but I got used to the quirks, and learnt lots of great power tricks too. Don't worry so much about the differences, once you're used to the Mac way, you're realise that it's actually the better way than what you were used to before.

If you have any other questions about Mac OS, then feel free to msg/IM me and I'd be very happy to help.

Congrats though, on making the jump :)

naw, he just obsesses about killing his brother. True warriors are like Ryu from Street Fighter...getting better at kicking ass for the sake of kicking ass.:meditation:

Thanks for the Mac help, that was a real life-saver.^^; Also, I'm irritated because my Mac can't handle trillian.XO Hey, let's just stick with email for now, okay? I suppose I need parallels windows desktop...Or maybe just install windows, if I have enough liscences.XS

Get Adium [link] it's way, way better than Trillian. It's probably one of the best bits of Mac software out there, and highly customisable.

What do you mean by email? Do you have a lot of Outlook email from Windows you want to migrate? That's possible to do as well (but tricky).

Bootcamp is included, so it's easy to install dual-boot Windows. Simply hold down Alt when powering on to choose which OS, and set the default OS in the Control Panel on Windows or the StartUp item in System Preferences.
