It’s been a weary couple of hours, but at here at 3am EST I sit proudly running OS 10.1.5 (fucking finally). Had I not had a botched beta installation from last year sitting around and making things difficult, I suspect everything would have been very easy indeed - MrTails brought over a Firewire drive for backups, and after a reinitialization everything went very smoothly. It helped that Colin’s GameCube was in attendance to kill time during various installations and downloads; kicking Spencer’s ass just really never gets old. (I have to admit his SSBM skills are about equal to mine now - but give me a racing game and it’s all over.)

There was gaming, there was Donnie Darko, there was garlic pizza and an abundance of alcohol, and my g4 and I are much happier at the end of the night than we were running 9.2 this morning. I think I’m off to bed.
