Planet SoC

Can’t say my focus the last day and a half hasn’t been on anything but GSoC. What with celebrating my dad’s 50th birthday yesterday and getting to play with my new mabook today. You should all be glad to know both went/are going very well!
We gave my dad Rockband for his birthday with the 6 song Boston pack and it was quite a success. We’ve had Rockband hidden throughout the house for over a month, taking it out here and there to practice, and despite our best efforts he HAD found out what he was going to get (but not the boston part :P.) Turns out he was looking for my keys after I lost them and happened to check under my bed, as well as my sisters bed (both of which contained Rockbandy goodness.) At least we didn’t give it away! I think there were a few times were we almost slipped up.
As for my macbook, I have to say I am in bliss. I know a lot of the TP developers are die-hard Linux users but I have to say I just love Mac Os X. Its not that I can’t/don’t do Linux; It’s just that its such a well put together package of applications/interface/design/etc. I find a lot of the star applications in OSX have so much charm and artistic flare to them in terms of design and usability. Wrap all the up with Quicksilver and a Terminal and I’d take OSX over Linux any day. Sorry guys I’m approaching a fully installed system here and look forward to the next work week to start picking apart some rulesets on Monday.
