gag inducing
There is no end to my joy over the fact that I am going to be doing some subset of dining, dancing, or drinking tonight while G.W.Bush is spouting off his short alliterative repetitive phrases over why the United States is blessed above all other nations to take pre-emptive strikes against other nations.

Gulf War II, the Iraqi Boogaloo

This is going to end badly. But, say it enough times...

On .Mac, part 1.2 - more availability issues
There are still occasional, but very annoying, outages and/or hiccups in Apple's .Mac system. I hope it's just a side effect of the millions of semi-idle accounts that are set to expire in a week or two. Now that I and many others are paying for the service, I expect better continuity of service - especially now that I use many of the offerings. From Backup to iSync, email to iDisk, .Mac is becoming a significant piece of my Macintosh experience. Hiccups affect that experience negatively.

This is one of the most important aspects of the interconnected web services based world - if a piece of the chain goes down, the ripple effect can be significant.

Since many of the .Mac services are in a transition phase from the simpler free iTools offerings to the new for-pay integrated .Mac offerings, some hiccups are understandable. But the issues - whatever they may be - better be solved soon.

I still have to promise that part 2, about the web applications on .Mac, is coming soon.
