Leopard Livebloggin’ #7

Posted on October 26, 2007

It’s not “Line Livebloggin’” because I’m no longer in line. I’m at home, installing on the MacBook Pro. The plan is, do a clean fresh install on the MBP, and a backup on the iMac. We’re all good to go. The wait was fun really. I was worried when I showed up and there was nobody there, but people did eventually show up, and by the time six pm rolled around and they opened the doors, there was a crowd of about a hundred or so. The big exciting news? John from Apple’s Guided Tour works at our store. I hugged him.

Security hassled the waiters twice, because we were blocking foot traffic (but not actually) and because people were leaning on the gigantic planters, which are apparently made of plastic. They had the scary orange forms, but fortunately none were given out. Just typical security guard “let’s hassle dudes because I’ve got this plastic badge” stuff. One of them rode on a Segway.

Before I wrap this up, gotta give shout outs to Pete, the guy that made everybody wear badges, Johnny for being entertaining in the line and for being a loud guy with ice cream, to the one cool security guard of the bunch, who I shall name Edgar because I don’t know his name, and to the guy rocking the Cube G4 t-shirt. Live the dream. Peace.

Pictures will be forthcoming in the Flickr stream as soon as Flickr gets their API issues sorted. And I’ll have a proper write up on Leopard in a couple of days hopefully, after I’ve had time to use it.

Mmmm. New Mac smell.

    Its all very exciting. I was a cheapskate and decided to save myself $30 and ordered it from amazon, won’t be here until Tuesday. And I’ll be in San Diego… may have to fly home weds to pick it up! Ooh, and my mandolin will be here then too.

    Oh man Leopard and a Mandolin on the same day. We’ll have to take advantage of iChat’s video capabilities and have bluegrass jam sessions, as soon as I get a guitar amp.

    btw what’s up with wtf today? Looks like most of the WP files got deleted.

    It looks like DB’s index.php file has gone for walkies. I sent him a text to make him awares.

    Leopard is the latest and greatest, the newest version OSX, the lovely operating system that my beloved Macs operate on. Check out the guided tour link about to see exactly why this OS is so lovable and huggable.

    I thought I’d find some secret files but nothing - who doesn’t put their PIN and social security info on their webserver for easy access??
