The week finished off well. Thursday was Eddingtons which is really good even though it's a little expensive. It also was lots of U2 day, which was nice. OS X is far from being able to be classified as a real-time OS though. That's the biggest thing that bugs me about it, although I'm guessing most people don't notice it. I'm used to be able to push my machine at 100% with CPU and disk IO pegged, but no app being able to take out the system. Music doesn't skip, I click to a different app and other than possibly having to swap it in if I'm really pushing the machine, it's instant. Focus changes instantly rather than waiting for apps... Yea, it's designed for lighter load, but it doesn't seem like it'd be that hard to implement that type of design. I think the biggest catch may be that part of the smooth integrated GUI is being overly reliant on checking the state of other things obsessively so they can't get out of sync though. :( Anyways, the days involved lots of group policies. Ross and I got a lot of things clarified, and I think we're going the direction of making some stuff work better. In other news I discovered a completely unpatched (no Service Packs even) NT4 server. Amazingly it has like 5 months uptime too. Hopefully it'll last another 2 or so until it can be phased out (and hopefully that won't turn into 12). Friday afternoon turned into meetings, which went better than expected, even if they went a bit long. It could have been a lot worse. For fun stuff, did you know that going to church is a threat to your health?
