I'm a little concerned about my Power Mac G4 Workstation (G4/400, 320 MB Ram). It seems much more sluggish than either my iBook (G3/500, 384 MB Ram) or my iMac (G3/400, 256 MB Ram), which are all running Mac OS 10.1.5. Granted, the Workstation tends to have a higher workload than the others. But even at a fresh startup, applications take longer to launch, and Mozilla 1.0 has a harder time keeping up with my typing on the G4 than on the iMac.

When all the current projects die down, it's time to find a good defragger and find a good RAM tester. I think one of my DIMM's is seriously mismatched. :/

Props to Joseph Kocherans for his Formulator tip yesterday.

A Zope User, a Mac OS X User, an iBook User, a Sonic Youth listener, and apparently in or near Salt Lake. The statistics for that are much higher than I ever would have expected. Then again, as I was hanging out at the opening reception for the Utah Arts Festival last night (on the top floor of the new Wells Fargo building, where I could look directly into my apartment and wonder how many other people look directly in here), I was reminded of just how surprising this town can be. The suburban sprawl and religious zealotry in the valley also produces interesting art culture, urban culture, and counter culture, all in a way to keep things (somewhat) balanced.
