Leopard (Gecko)

Hello all from beautiful but too hot Oklahoma! I recently got my copy of Leopard and I must say I am impressed. It’s overall not quite as stable as Tiger, but that’s to be expected. The feature set is quite impressive, though I am with most people that the glass dock and transparent menu bars are less than useful. Transparent menu bar. Come on, Apple….

I am very very impressed with the new XCode IDE which has got a nice overhaul and streamlined workflow. I haven’t got a chance to play with Instruments yet (DTrace meets Garageband), but it’s supposed to be nice. I may give an update on that once I get my feet wet with new developer goodness.

Well, about the gecko. You guys knew I have a Leopard Gecko. I am planning on getting him a larger, 20 L tank instead of this small one, but I went ahead and bought some new sand (yeah I know the risks, really). Coupled with the slate rocks I got from my wife’s parents’ new farm I thought I’d rearrange his tank a bit before he gets to move to the big one eventually. It seems like he may have been a little freaked out by the new environment:

Yamori Escape!

So I got him out and put him on my desk, where he got comfortable on a warm spot of my MacBook that is, incidently, running Leopard. Get it? Leopard Gecko – Leopard? Clever clever.

Anyway, staying busy with school, work, ethics roundtable and greek. Come Tuesday there will be yet another thing demanding my attention: Assassin’s Creed! Boy I can’t wait!
