Recursion, n. See: Recursion

As you may know, under Mac OS X 10.5, you can remotely access your other Macs on the same network and even over the Internet and control them via Screen Sharing.

So I wondered... what if I Screen Shared Emma via Callisto, then Screen Shared Callisto via Emma?

( Predictable, but pretty results. )

A Girl's Gotta Use Protection

On Saturday, I somehow managed to lay Callisto down on a table that must have had some kind of metallic grit or a discarded staple, which caused a superficial, but nasty looking scratch on her underside. And after all the trouble I took to protect her keyboard with a silicone cover and a layer of plastic to protect both the wrist resting areas below the keyboard and the trackpad.

To prevent further mishap, I got one of these, in red, to put her in — so she's nice and snug and protected in a hardcase now, which still allows her to be used, ports and all. Have a look:

The Naming of Computers, Part Deux

Thanks to all who put in their suggestions. Based on the various candidates (some of which came through my Facebook page), the new MacBook Pro, which I purchased today — 15" widescreen, 2.2 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 160 GB HD, 128MB RAM graphics card — has been christened Callisto, which means "most beautiful" in Greek.

It was pretty much a toss-up between Cassiopeia and Callisto, but when I laid my hands on the box, Callisto seemed more appropriate. In a way, I like to let my possessions name themselves.
