So. This is what's up.

So. I'm alive. Miracle to end all miracles. I've finally finished midterms for both of my classes so I'm yet another step closer to ending my career as the World's Oldest Living Undergrad (thank you, thank you). Now I'm wrassling with a big, black Panther... and it's giving me a run for my money. I opted for a clean install, figuring it would be nice to start fresh especially as I had been mucking with OS X's built-in Apache and PHP installs. But naturally I neglected to backup some important details, like my application receipts, Stickies database and some part of Photoshop that annoyingly bugs me on startup now. So far Panther is being good to me, even if it seems Apple has introduced a new bug in the Finder for every one they've fixed from Jaguar ("untitled folder" selection bug in list view quashed! But in exchange, Satan required Steve Jobs to sacrifice all icon alpha masks!! Dommage!!). Network browsing is a bitch (and really a ridiculous step backwards from the equivalent functions in Jag; thanks to Noah for showing me the AppleTalk activation thing in Directory Access, which was bugging me even worse), the brushed metal Finder makes me weep silently and the further shattering of desktop and selection metaphors makes me want to sit in a corner, rocking back and forth and muttering under my breath. More interesting posts to come. If I survive.
