How Embarrassing

To make reservations for a Meetup that only 4 people need to show up for, and then have nobody come. Thanks a lot, WordPress gang, for coming out and keeping me company and not making me look like a doofus.

I’m gonna hang around for the Philly Blogger guys (unless this is some kind of weird joke - in which case…) who like to spend time out in the world. Color me bitter, but I see this WordPress group coming slowly to an end, not that it ever really got off the ground.

Apple Shopping

Apple LogoAs a web developer, my clients require that I perform testing on all popular web browser. As a PC user, testing on Safari is difficult. Tired of goofing with my PearPC emulator, I settled down in front of eBay to shop for a cheap iBook to suit two needs: Browser testing and impressing clients with the iBook’s slick facade. But there is a problem.

For me, a PC user of many years, it’s easy to pick PC parts and price components. If a PC is missing some feature I want, I know whether I can add it later myself, and what it will cost to add. With Macs, I’m at a bit of a loss.

So what I’m hoping is that someone could author or link to a tutorial for used iBook buying for PC users - since it seems to me a very logical step for someone who needs a Mac or wants to try it without committing to Apple retail prices.
