Technology is cooperating with me

I felt like crap today, and didn't go to work. I was suffering from some mix of allergies, feverishness, and a blocked ear. Sinuses have been high pressure since yesterday. Any of these things individually would probably not have been a big deal, but together they kicked my ass.

So when things started to go down hill last night, I powered up the MacBook Pro and crossed my fingers. It has been generally working ever since. It was on and in quasi-use most of the day while I remained horizontal. Not a single shut down. Hopefully things will stay that way.

And while I never got that motivated to do much of anything, I did start to play around with some color schemes for CoasterBuzz. I think I settled on something that I like. Applying that color and style makes even a shell of a site feel more real to me, so hopefully it'll motivate me to continue working on the code now to make it functional. It's not even funny anymore the way it takes so long for me to do much of anything.

I have to tell you that the computer cooperating really makes me feel a lot better about a lot of things, because it's such a focus for what I do in my spare time. And when I'm down and on my back, it makes an even bigger difference.

I'm off to bed, as I'm all achy and tired. I sure hope these symptoms don't persist much longer.

Beth is feeling the same way. Hopefully you are both better soon.

Damn, I was expecting a post about the Apple announcements and your thoughts. I'm sure it's brewing, but I thought it'd already be up.

Dear god, I'm becoming a iZealot, and all I have is an 80gb video. Not even a Mac.
