One year with a Mac

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

It’s funny, I use to be a “PC Guy” and hated console gaming and Mac. Now if you asked me, I’d consider myself a “Mac Guy” and 99% of the gaming I do is on a console. My, how times have changed.

A year ago next month, will be when I purchased my first Mac. It was intended as an experiment, me and some friends had delusions of grandeur and planned on making some iPhone apps. That hasn’t happened, not to say it will never, as there are a couple of apps that I’d like to see, but I’m not there yet.

Over the past year, my Windows rig (Vista, C2D @ 2.53 GHz, 2 GB RAM, ATI HD 4870 512) has been neglected, only turned on to run Quicken when I’m balancing the checkbook.

Trillian Astra Build 83

Sunday, July 20th, 2008

This is the build I’ve been waiting for. After quite sometime IRC has made it’s way back into Trillian Astra. I don’t remember when it was removed, but I’m willing to wager that I’ve not been in #TechRelated or #Neowin in at least 6 months. Probably more.

Aside from IRC, Trillian Astra Build 83 also includes an official Facebook plugin. The Facebook plugin allows you to read your news feed as well as update your status. Being that I don’t really use Facebook that much, I don’t know what else this plugin will really offer you. ;)

Other than that, you get some UI enhancements and bug fixes. For more information click the link.

Tuesday, August 30th, 2005

Wish I could have been there. :/
