Yesterday was fun. Everyone was talking about Apple’s new stuff. They still are. Yeah, the new Powerbooks are great, but I don’t think this iteration’s for me, I’m happy with my current one. I think it’s a Goldilocks thing… the 12″ is too small, the 17″ is too big, the 15″ is just right. Maybe in six months, they’ll update the 15″ model.

But the real treat that I found was the quickly mentioned official X11 for OS X public beta. Yes, XDarwin’s been out, but this one just looks nicer because the X windows have the standard Aqua interface. This prompted me to figured out a bunch of X11/ssh issues and get my setup working again, so I can pass X windows between my home machine and work machines all nicely now.

I also just bought Quicktime Pro so I can export DV Streams from MPEGs and Quicktime Movies and play with iMovie.
