WOW....this translating business is driving me up teh wall lol ;-) -- I am in front of my trusty mac almost day and nite hehehe... the good thing is that all the translations WILL be done tonite
-- tomorrow I start the audio and visual artwork/elements and my tuesday it will be up
Ed we did get iBooks, but that was to keep mac-using faculty happy. Technically they are not for office use, but for loan (but I use one anyways when the days are slow lol
). The department wants to go all PC for a few reasons.
1) market share (pft! makes me wanna slap my boss when I hear this
-- he is a good guy but I dont buy the "the mac has a niche market" argument)
2) Most of the people that work in our branch of the department (with the exception of me) are mostly techs with A/V backgrounds and not computing, and they used to use a mac, and they were PC agnostic. My mac isnt in danger of being taken away cause I can do mac, pc and unix with my eyes closed, but the other guys that did only mac, had their macs taken away and were given PCs in order to be able to work with them...I seriously doubt they will be getting them back though. makes me mad
-- if they take my mac away I am getting a TiBook and bringing it to work lol.
3) We are moving from Filemaker, which is our current database, to Access (
!!! ), and the reason is that access has SQL interfaceability, thus access is the front end, while all the database functionality is writen in SQL. I am desperatelly trying to find a mac front end to SQL that can be used on the macs here cause I REALLY want database funtionality on my macs. It makes my job easier to have 4 instances of a database open instead of 1 or 2.
Well...it should be a fun weekend. I think I am gonna come over at the B&G and take my place at the DJ booth lol, I havent been over at the other B&G for a while because of this web site deal.
Next week though
