The Underground ManAlways bringing my "A" game.backing up the iPhone- July 28, 2008 So, having left Microsoft, I find myself having to backup my iPhone to my TiBook rather than my Dell laptop. Of course, for some bizarre reason, Apple has made this difficult. I fail to understand why I cannot have music I OWN on more than one machine. Anti-deluvian thinking, surely put in place by Apple to salve the concerns of the record companies. So I've had to engage in a search for software that will allow me to "backup" the contents of my iPhone to my Mac desktop. Failing to do that,...http://www.stefanisaacs.com/movabletype/archives/000801.html battling the printer- July 24, 2008 I'm trying to get three or four prints readied for submission to the juried photo exhibition at our county fair. I'm planning on going big this year (13x19) as that is as big as my printer (an Epson 1270) will go.

The only thought I have to describe my morning interview process with Microsoft Dublin. It was a position I thought I was very well qualified for and very motivated for.

TV coverage of the Tour de France (my second favorite sports event to watch): "Mon Reve - Un Tour Propre". Which translates as "My Dream - A Proper Tour". In the sense the French mean, that means a Tour without doping, a real competition. Definitely my dream as well. Watching the Stage de Reine (Queen Stage - toughest stage in the Tour) today. Looks simply punishing. Nothing I would want to do, but Lance made me an avid watcher of the Tour. Just wish it was on a major network..http://www.stefanisaacs.com/movabletype/archives/000799.html Arlington Fly-In, 2008- July 19, 2008 A close-up, derived from a RAW image that I retrieved from my hacked A720IS.http://www.stefanisaacs.com/movabletype/archives/000797.html |
