Dear MobileMe, Please stop eating up my iCal scheduling! And please attempt to sync with my iBook and iMac! I don’t want to go back to Google Cal, but it might resort to that.  Please don’t let me down. I was so excited for you to come into my life. Love,AMA 

So  I think I just had an epiphany.

I think  that I know what I want to do now with my life. I want to go to graduate school, this much I do specifically know, but I’m not sure if I want to puruse the Information and Library Sciences. I know that I want to stay Information-based, and even Knowledge Management based. But I’ve been coming to the conclusion that I would much prefer to stay on the technology side of things.

Penn has a pretty stellar looking program  in “Computer & Information Technology” which is geared for students whose undergraduate degrees is not in computer science - but rather something drastically different. (Like, say oh I don’t know, Art History)

Using this, which maybe holds a slight potential in having my employer help pay for, I can then use this to go further for the company I work for, and maybe, open up alternatives for future jobs, s taying involved with computers and hopefully, web2.0.

Just a thought.

I have no desire to fix the coding on this page. So, new design, but I’ve got to tweak the layout a bit, and take a good look at the code to see why my sidebar is all effed up. But..I like the layout, I think it has potential.So, my phone is jacked up. I really dislike my phone. It turns on when it wants to. It randomly scrolls through my inbox and does not stop unless i take out the battery. It will call people from my pocket, and my battery life is about 15 minutes if I want to actually talk on the phone, 4 hours if I’m going to let it sit in my bag.  I’ve got so much shit to figure out, and I’m so effing lost.  

I’m a little frustrated with this whole mobile me thing. I was so effing excited for it - but I’ve been let down. The push thing is not an issue for me, it seems to be pushing; but what is an issue is that every time I log in to my mobile me from www.me.com, and check my iCal - the times for all my events become wonky. It seems that they all have been pushed back three hours. Oh, maybe I’m set to Pacific Standard time…I checked. I’m not. Why is it resetting all my times?  I’m agitated, but alas not agitated enough to begin any real research on why this is happening. I’ll get on that soon.

The other thing is syncing my iBook to my iMac. This was an issue way back in the days when dot mac was still dot mac. (Which, in my opinion, is a much better name than effing “Mobile Me”.) I was thinking that maybe my computers are having a hard time talking to one another because one is running Leopard and the other Tiger - but that really shouldn’t be an issue. My iBook refuses to log properly into dot mac/mobile me and it refuses to sync all the information properly. Some times it will work, other times it will not. Some times it says it works, but it actually hasn’t and some times it says it has not worked, but it has. What? Ugh.  

For her art is not a job; it is a life. It is what you do when you get up in the morning, and what you continue to do all day, through headaches and phone calls, breakups and breakdowns, silences and celebrations. It is what you keep doing after dark, and when you can’t sleep at night.
