Mac Plus/Minus. Corby's Tech Blog

There's a big difference between knowing what can be done and what should be done. I'm opinionated enough to tell you how I think you can use your Mac better. Also, you'll find occasional musings about the state of technology at UVa.

Impressive Organization on Grounds at UVa

Tue, 11/04/2008 - 9:27pm

UVa is a conservative school. Ask Anastasia, who was a TA here. These are, to a great extent, the children of privilege, power and pedigree.
Walking (say it with me) the mile from my car to my office this morning, I passed 3 different moving Free Ride to Vote for Obama vans. Every sidewalk was chalked up with reminder after reminder to vote today for Obama. Posters were up on every kiosk. A pro-Obama student with a signboard was in front of every major building, ready to help anyone get to the polls.

On that mile long walk, the entire evidence of the McCain GOTV effort was one white chalk "N" added in front of a single instance of the word "OBAMA" chalked on a walkway.

Heard While Walking to Clemons Library

Two young ladies walking side by side, chatting.

The blonde with bug-eye sunglasses says "...I don't know, his roommate called me more than he did."

Upgrade Complete. That was Easy!

Wed, 09/17/2008 - 2:15pm

Just updated to Drupal 5.10 easy as pie. Tried to go to 6.4, but UVa's sql server is too old a version for that.

But such an easy install: Drag it over and run the update script and done!

So the site should be secure again now.
