ProRep and Legal Methods are officially done and over with. The MPRE is looming over the horizon, but I will cross that little bridge once I come to it. For the time being, the name of the game is: defeat mysterious Death Flu of Death and Pain and Destruction™ that is not Strep. I can’t believe I’m saying it, but after over a week of it, I kinda wish it were something like that so at least I’d get rid of it after taking something for a couple of days. At this stage in the game, the fever from hell is gone, the aching body/joints is gone, but the damn swollen tonsils/whatever remain and, damnit, I want to be able to drink liquids and not be in pain. Granted, it’s greatly reduced pain, but still, dude…I want a fully functioning body so I can go on runs and enjoy drinking liquids afterwards.
That being said, the Death Flu of Death and Pain and Destruction™ does seem to be effective in weight loss. I feel like I lost a couple of pounds what with not being able to eat solids for 5 days.
But alas, I’ll heal (let’s hope!) and I really wanted to talk about Dropbox the neat little program that syncs up one’s folders on their computer with the magical power of the internets. For example, instead of emailing yourself files and photos, one can just drop it in a folder on your desktop, access it from a foreign computer and the edits made in one will be made in the other. In theory, it’s kinda awesome. In practice, it’s still pretty awesome, too.
I just finally got my beta copy the other day and I’ve been playing with it much to my enjoyment. A couple of brief observations so far:
1) It seems as if I can edit file names only from my desktop and not from the online version.
2) The upload times seem a bit laggy for relatively small files. I wouldn’t imagine that a 500kb photo would take too long, but it lagged.
that’s all I’ve seen so far. The public gallery for mine is here and if anyone wants any invites, I have 5 left so drop off a comment with your email address and I can send it your way. I’m pretty stoked to get to try it out and I’ll try to keep everyone posted as to my thoughts on it.
