Doing an intensive course in japanese at the moment, 9 hours a week after work at a summer university. Managed to read (and understand
) a whole sentence with hiragana, katakana and kanji for the first time this week. Although I've studied japanese once a week for almost three years before this it's been a constant struggle because my teacher wasn't very good and the first two years everything was translated to romaji (our letters) which isn't very useful unless all you want to learn is spoken phrases and/or understanding spoken language. Very motivated at the moment and planning a trip to Japan this fall! -
G why do not create a partition on your Mac hard drive and run Win 8 on it. Use parallels it's a great program

God that's like putting spinners on a Rolls…
Except that sometimes it has to be done.

I have VMWare which I need to run IE because one of our shipping apps has to run in IE.
The UPS programme has to be loaded onto a PC and none of the UPS people have been able to load it onto our VM partition (basically it falls into the too fecking difficult pile I suspect)…..
And whilst I fecking hate Windows, Paula hates Word and Excel on Mac, so she likes the Windows environment for when she is power Wording and power Excelling...

It's pathetic to me as a technologist that people allow IE dependencies to live on in their applications. It was a bad idea then and it's indefensible now.
Oh sorry I thought this was rants

G I'm dabbling with getting Win8 running inside a VM @ the moment. Some of work's software is not browser-based :-X. That said their Win8 Image is customized beyond any known standards so won't fire up in VMware. If I manage to get a clean build working (as it should work out of the box), I'll get the image over to you. Considering you're already licensed, there's nil license issues here. It's a pet project when I get 20-30 minutes, so weeks/months out, but yeah, I'm on it…

For the next two hours I will be experiencing the greatest musical era known to mankind- the hair metal excess of the 80s. I am going to watch Rock Of Ages at the Venetian.
You are envious. It's ok to admit it.

Not even ashamed to…

I really am, I grew up on that crap.

So did I. Gotta admit I was kinda underwhelmed by it. Slightly disappointed.

If any of you watch Counting Cars on the History Channel, or remember Danny the car guy on Pawn Stars, we're having dinner at his restaurant/club, Count Vamp's. He's not here, huge surprise.

Found a really nice beer store. Had to severely restrict my purchases to make sure I could get it all home with me. I miss the days when you could stuff a bag full of booze and carry it onto the plane. Beer bottles in checked suitcases being tossed around by baggage apes is just begging for disaster.

Paula and I are helping out with this tomorrow. Should be a great day. Simon want to join us as a helper?
