Deeply in Trouble

What can I say? The "Update" of my harddrive turns out to be a nightmare. Mac OS X is nice, but the main problem is that you can not maintain it. If you have to move it, update or downgrade, you can kiss most of your settings good bye.

At least the Mail still works, albeit I can´t send anything for the time being.

Ah well, on with reinstalling. I must have lost a considerable amount of data because it is hidden somewhere that you won´t find it. - Discuss

The world´s population

Chris has got something interesting on his site today that I am going to nick...

Here it goes:

If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following:

There would be: 57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south and 8 Africans. 52 people would be female, 48 would be male. 70 would be non-white, 30 would be white. 70 would be non-Christian, 30 would be Christian. 89 would be heterosexual, 11 would be homosexual. 6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth. 80 would live in substandard housing. 70 would be unable to read. 50 would suffer from malnutrition. 1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth. 1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education.

1 would own a computer.

You see, the world is not nearly what we think it is. - Discuss

Re-Installing thy computer

I got a 30 Gig drive for my PowerBook. Downside is reinstalling ALL the stuff I got on my 10 Gig. I am curious about how restoring my prefs for Mac OS X goes. Also I will be cut of outgoing mail for some time until I recompiled the Postfix server... Phew. At least I can take time to write something in my Weblog. - Discuss
