...shopping for gifts, final tasks

Shopping for gifts online is fun but when you have to send it to New York, most of the US online shopping sites just bar you from continuing as they only allow shoppers with US addresses and US issued credit cards. It was really frustrating as good items on those sites can’t be seen from other sites for purchase.

Anyway, after a lot of “googling”, I was finally able to get into it through Amazon. Everything went smoothly and was able to place my order. Finally, I can now have a good night sleep.

Well, my day was busy as tasks just breezed in like they knew that the end is near. Laptops get dodgy, unseen issues and some last minute tasks which really went weird yet fun.

It was about one of the staff’s iBook G4 to be migrated to the new aluminium MacBook. The iBook G4 was on Mac OS X 10.4.8 and for it to do the migration, it has to update its migration assistant to get it rolling. The problem is, for it to be updated; it has to be at least version 10.4.11.

Of course, I searched on it at the Apple site and for it to be updated to 10.4.11; you just have to update it from 10.4.8 then to 10.4.9 and to 10.4.10 and then to 10.4.11. That’s like 4 reboots and a lot of waiting. Talk about “Think Different”.

Well, lights out for now as it’ll be a long day tomorrow.

It’s Parteyyyyyy after work. Wooohoooooo!!!
