Mr. Mom

Deena woke up sick today. Really, really sick. Flu or something. Woohoo. Working from home so I can take care of her and the kiddo. Deena's just sleeping, but every time I look up, Naia is halfway up the stairs. Good lord she is fast. I yell "WHERE ARE YOU GOING!?", and she laughs and goes even faster.

"Naia Smith" is an anagram for "Hi, I'm Satan."

No, that wasn't planned. But I'm starting to see it. She's learned a new noise this week - growling. Nice.

I really started playing with Panther last night. It's slick. I do all of my login stuff via NIS - one account to login to all windows, unix, and now mac machines. 10.3 finally got the NIS stuff right, and having the same Desktop and Trash between OSX and Gnome is tasty. My old blue and white was just about unusable under 10.2 - it is much quicker under 10.3. A pal also sent me an app that forces the L2 cache to fire up on my proc upgrade, so that definitely didn't hurt either.

Now that I'm using the mac again, my gadget wishlist just grew. I have an old mac serial Wacom that I loved - 12x18 - I just couldn't ever bear to part with it. Need to find some sort of usb to mac serial adapter. I've heard keyspan makes some, but according to wacom, they are incompatible with my tablet. Bleh.
