[...] tapes mean that my backup strategy broke down. I tried various things in the interim, including network attached storage in 2006, and the Time Capsule for backing up my Macintoshes. The Time Capsule works great, but even with a [...]

Comment on Tracking my calories… by Kelly Adams

Hello, Jennifer, and welcome to my blog!

A drop of a thousand calories for a 2 pound loss is far too much. I’ve lost about seven pounds: I started at about 1955 calories for a 1 pound per week weight loss with a starting weight of 200 pounds. I’m down now to 1897 per day now at 193 pounds. So I’d say something is wrong with a 1000 calorie drop in your “allowance”, assuming you haven’t changed your “pounds per week” goal.

I have no idea what exactly, but something

I searched livestrong and your blog came up

Since you have been at this longer I will ask you. I started livestrong last week and my calorie intake has been 2300 calories. But today I typed in a 2 pound weight loss and it says 1000 calories for today? Is that normal for it to go down so much??

Comment on Risen: Spiritual successor to Gothic 3 by Kelly Adams

Hey, Shane! Yeah, its not bad- I kind of had to get into the right mindset, though. It sort of starts off in a way that (very roughly) put me in mind of being level 1 in D&D again: the shopkeeper could beat the crap out of you, and so could the barmaid, and the old drunk in the gutter, and the badly wounded orc in the dungeon

You can buy the game online via Direct2Drive for about $40- I couldn’t find it in any of the usual stores (e.g.: BestBuy, London Drugs, Electronics Boutique.

Sounds like a good game, I haven’t been playing any games lately, but I am sure the mood will strike me again in the future

I’m glad we were able to give you some things to think about! This isn’t really a “normal” forum- it’s my blog site, and so you’ll notice I write about all sorts of unrelated things- unrelated except they interest me. Shane is my nephew, and Chris is my best friend: so it isn’t a very big community

Comment on I will be buying an iPad… but why? by Chris

I find that apple very un-intuitive personally. What I do find is that it’s all the same though, so once you learn on one apple platform, it carries over to the others.

Windows changes a lot from version to version, and then depending on the particular install of office, the umpteen diferent browser options etc etc each machine is different. I would even go so far as to say that the very fact people can use windows machines at all would indicate that windows is more intuitive, because there is no way to actually “learn” it.

What I like about apple is how they put the bits together. I have itunes because it was the only easy way of getting legal digital copies of movies onto to my laptop to take with me on my trip. I can actually play those movies on my network, whereas with vista machines I can’t even always play music I have ripped from a CD I own if it’s on a different part of the network. With apple you can have your phone, your music player, your TV, your home network, you pad … and generally have them all work well together and with online content.

Very tempting.

What turns me off of apple is the cost, and the attitude,

It’s like those “I’m a mac. And I’m a PC” ads. I’m much more a shcleppy, socially inept middle aged nerd that muddles through than I am cool, laid back Mac. The commercials actually make me sympathize with PC and be proud to own one … which I’m sure wasn’t exactly the intent.

Back to the iPad, I visualize using it the way you would take a newspaper, magazine or book with you on the bus, train or plane. Commuting to work or school, or showing friends your “stuff”. As such the 3G connectivity would be a major part of the package, as would ruggedness and durability.

I’ll be interested in your experience with it, although I won’t be getting one anytime soon ( quie happy with my netbook for now )it has caught my attention.
