I juste wrote it out and realized my current problems are not even remotely interesting. Skip the next two paragraphs. I want to burn my computer after failing do solve for 2 days my optimization research problem... I'm sure I modeled the problem correctly but there must be something wrong either with my version of excel or the way I input it in the solver. Frustrating as fuck. Also fuck macs. I can't use my computer in my IT class cause SAP GUI is not Mac compatible. So I spent 2h downloading Windows on my laptop. Had to clean out my computer cause there was no space left. Half the semester passes and the teacher tells us the mac version of excel is not good enough because now we have to link excel with SAP GUI to generate graphs in real time. We also have to install Microsoft access (also a pain to do on mac, i tried for another 2h and failed miserably). So I just gave up and stole my dad's computer. You can start reading here. Went to a pretty neat concert last weekend and filmed a couple of songs. It's Klezmer/Balkan style music. This band would really benefit from a bit of vocals but it was still good. The playlist of anyone is interested: I missed a cool concert last week too but my boyfriend borrowed my camera and filmed it too. It's the first three song in this playlist: They play in Toronto pretty often, I would 100% recommend going. Hey way the crowd gets during their concerts is crazy. My parents came back from their trip to Portugal. I'm already getting frustrated with my mom just /being/ there and talking to me in the morning. And little comments like "you should wear gloves, it's cold outside today". I know she means well and i'm not taking it out on her but I feel like I really need to move out. The constant walking into my room to talk to me about irrelevant stuff like what do I think of her new earings... It's sweat and all I feel like an angry teenager again. I guess I just need space.
I'm hating on Pages now. Had to uninstall and go back to last year's version. I've started learning to use Word of all things. I used to do professional publishing in Pages, but Apple decided its users don't want to be professionals. They want to make preformatted documents on their iPads to share with their grandmas instead. I miss you, Steve Jobs.
we'll need to chat at some point - I was slow to adopt the new version (I still have the old version on my work laptop, but current version on the home mac). After some initial "hey - where did they put THAT button" I am kinda ok with the new version. What am I missing? Or more to the point - what is the new Pages missing?
oh dude… I played with numbers for exactly 6 minutes when iWork first debuted… and I don't think I've installed it since. It is… an abomination. unless I guess… you want a pretty looking personal budget for a family from the 1950s. And look - excel on a mac is fine… I use it relentlessly every day - but I miss some of the shortcuts and the quick feel of excel on Windows.
