thanks G, and crongrats to you on 16. I suppose I could whine about things, I've been working 7 days a week for months now with tons of work and rebranding my company in progress, I'm burnt to a hollow crisp. I haven't gotten out the enjoy summer even for one day. But I am flying out west this thurs. to go out on a sail boat for a week and spend some time on the island after, and then when I get back, hopefully catch the labor day weekend to cap the summer off.
I guess it beats unemployment so I should shut up.
I hear you, gt. I have been teaching four courses this summer, having taught four courses in the six-week Intersession. I am pooped.
Bon voyage, mon ami.
You may call me Marc, by the way.

Now autosave erases the template and leaves the entire headline there.
Also as part of autosave, they discontinued the "save as" option under the edit menu. Again if I wanted to change a .png file to a .jpg file. I simply used save as. Now I have to duplicate the file, then use "save" to trigger the options to make the change from .png to .jpg. (I do this to eliminate upload times as .jpg files are much smaller than .png files. And when one has the number of photos I do, it really adds to my time to unlock every photo now before I can change the size. Sometimes 'more is less' and I am finding that with Lion. Try opening any photo that is older than a day or two in Preview and then try to change its size. You will get this every time:
Ah so.
A bad Apple.

Welcome to the Shang Tim.
I'm Camán (pron. kaMaaan).
Afternoon Rp, Sonal and Kim.
I'm having a nice day here. went to town with Daniel instead, since Aiofe
went out with Siobhán and Liam wanted to stay at home with Ciarán and Dylan.
Daniel and I bought sallad in the shop, bread, a cheese spiced up with chilli and cider.
Then we went down to a park and had a lovely lunch. I took some pictures for Joal too.

Downloaded a self-made music library from old CDs I have for my new iPod Shuffle. I shall take this to the gym with me. There ae times when I am on the bike or treadmill and I am so bored looking out the window. This way, I can listen to my favorite songs.

Marc, I too have my own music, mostly old stuff that I enjoy, but I use my iPhone for this purpose. It's great to be out camping in a recliner chair with my own 'tunes' serenading me. BTW I never use the ear plug headphone thingies. I just place it next to me on the table and listen via the built in speakers.

treadmills and bikes can be really boring without music. I tend to do interval training which breaks up the monotony (gets better results too), or a spin class will keep you interested
The first time I did one I was intimidated, but they often if it's a beginning class will let you go at your own pace.
