MAC Stuff

Well I have been upgrading my Macs like crazy. I put 1 G of Ram in my Ti book. the poor little 160 drive was bumping out to the edge, so I thought I'd try a thing called "Drive Genius" which includes a slim drive function. Well...if you don't know what the hell you're slimming...it is not good. Suffice it to say I recovered 40 G of space from my 250 in my G5, but totally screwed the 160. Good thing I had everything backed up to the nth degree!. It would mount to the point I got a screen, but nothing else. So I decided to put Leopard on it and erase it. It is amazing how much SHIT accumulates on a hard drive that aren't necessary. Steve at Westworld said he reformats his at least once a year to get rid of it. So I thought I would pair down my mp3's and photos etc. Well I ended up with 22 GB free now. So I guess it was worth it. I was told not to import that data directly or it would import all the crap...so I did that later. It was a bit of a challenge getting everything to work again. But seems to be working now. It doesn't allow you to pick and choose enough..so it was a challenge getting what I wanted. Seems to work now though.

I put a 1 TB drive on my G5 and now think I need to put another one in place of my baby 250. I have lots of externals kicking around though. It is amazing...it is like a garage...it fills up the space you have available. Unfortunately I need to find a 250 external that I can use when I get my NEW ONE. (Whenever that will be). Otherwise I'll run into the same problem. Then I can just clone the drive to my new one.

I love Leopard, it is working great!!! Filemaker 6 works but Photoshop 7 sure doesn't! Guess I'll need to get Elements, don't think I can afford the full version. Aperture is working great for RAW images, actually has a lot of editing properties in this program.
Now if Apple will only make a movie program that puts chapter markers on a DVD....how ridiculous that Imovie 8 doesn't do this!

EPCR First Day

Well...glad we didn't have a cardiac arrest!!! It took 3 hours to do the first call. After having done it, some how it created two, so we had to find which one was the real one, and redo that one with all the information. (Long story!) We ended up with two hours overtime on the last call because we got it at 4:30. Oh well....at least they paid for their insistence that we go cold turkey!

Today is another day!

EPCR

Well...today is the first day of the new EPCR (Electronic patient Care Record). We get to be the guinea pigs. It should be interesting. For the first time...I hope our first call keeps us at the hospital for a while...cause it will take a while to enter all the data into this thing. It is basically a Panasonic 12 inch toughbook, with propietary software.
