Tomorrow is the last official day of the honeymoon, so I'll be getting in a bit more R&R before getting back to work. I was working on the database when I left off, so I'll get that finished up this week. Then I need to polish the UI and we should be good to go.
Two big changes in my life recently. The first is, of course, being married. We got through the first week okay. Only 60 or 70 more years to go.
The second big change--and for a geek like me, probably the bigger of the two--is that I have a Power Mac G5 on its way. Yes, I'm making "the switch". Some specs:
Dual 2.5Ghz
1.5 gigs of RAM
GeForce 6800 Ultra 256MB
Airport card (which will hopefully play nice with my Belkin router/wireless hub)
Bluetooth
250GB SATA HDD
Mighty Mouse
It has Panther pre-installed, but I ordered a copy of Tiger that I'll install before I do anything else. Same monitor for now (Planar PX191), but I plan on upgrading to a 23" 1920x1200 at some point and ditching my multimonitor setup.
Macromedia was kind enough to let me upgrade my Studio MX 6 Windows license to Studio 8 for Mac, so my development efforts should proceed fairly smoothly. Not sure if Adobe will be as kind with my Creative Suite; somehow I think I'm going to take it in the ass on that one. I'm keeping an old Windows box on hand so I can run ColdFusion Server and SQL Server and mimic the hosting environment of the site.
Some people suggested I wait until the Intel switch occurs, but that's next summer at the earliest and I have a feeling the first Mac OS to run on the Intel platform is going to be a bit buggy. I'll let other people work out those kinks and then upgrade to a Mac/Intel machine (Mintel?) in a couple years.
