Safari 4 and the competition
Feb 28th
I tried out the latest beta of Apple’s Safari web browser, and I have to say I’m impressed. I’ve never cared for Safari at all, but the latest version in my mind brings it’s features, layout and usability up to fighting level. I don’t really care for the cover-flow eye candy, and aside from that everything else it boasts as new have been in Opera and/or Chrome already, but it seems a pretty decent browser.
Lifehacker have updated their browser comparison charts, and Safari fares fairly well. However, Google Chrome is still proving itself to be the new hotness overall.

Great Plains – invalid pathnames file
Feb 25th
In years gone by we’ve used Great Plains Dynamics as our financial software at work. We transitioned off it in 2006, but still have to keep it around for auditing purposes. We had a power failure a little while back, and the machine that GP is running on died, and on reboot Great Plains didn’t work. In my busyness I didn’t really bother with it, until I got a call that we had an audit coming up on some ancient history.

In 2056 I’ll be 70
Feb 21st
I’ve never had cause to contemplate the year 2056… but in that year I will be 70 years old. That seems an unfathomable amount of time away from now. I find it fascinating really.
My (new) Finnish drivers license expires in 2056.
And here’s more pictures of our boy!

Sorry for the lack of posts. We’re all alive and well, enjoying getting to know our little boy. For the record, we added an additional name; what’s 1 middle name when you can have 2, right?
So he’s now James Eden Armas Puddle. Armas is Finnish for beloved, and has a cool sound because it’s old school and not very common anymore. Plus in Spanish it’s weapons… and that’s wicked.
