Why I stopped using Konfabulator

November 9th, 2004 · No Comments

I bought Konfabulator a long time ago. But I stopped using it. Why? It’s a resource hog. Just a couple of widgets and it depletes the battery on my Powerbook.

The Stepford Wives

November 8th, 2004 · No Comments

I just finished watching The Stepford Wives. Pretty bland. But it’s ok for wasting 87 minutes. It’s nice to see Mr Broderick on screen again. Apperantly it’s a remake, but I can’t remember if I’ve seen the original so I can’t compare.
