Wesley's Tool-Box

After nine months of waiting, and 7 hours of labour later, my first child has come out to the world. We've decided to call her Celine. Born on 10:33AM Korea Standard Time, she weighs 2.6155kg and is 45.8cm tall right now. She's really tired right now just like her mom, but I'm hoping to see her smile soon.

I'm waiting outside the local hospital's delivery room as the nurses get to prepare my wife for delivering our first baby. She's been having acute contractions since around midnight and couldn't sleep, so I drove her to the hospital to check the progress... and the nurse told me that we'll probably see the newborn by this morning.

I hope all goes well. It's exactly one week earlier than expected.

I've gotten Snow Leopard on the server a week ahead of schedule. Yes, this website is running on Snow Leopard right now. My wife is expecting the baby in a couple of weeks, so I decided to get on with any time-consuming stuff early. The website seems to be running okay, so far...

Bringing newest development in the age-old war of the operating systems, Mac OS X 10.6, better known as Snow Leopard, came out last Friday, almost 2 months before Microsoft Windows 7 officially hits the shelves.

I've already gotten my hands on Windows 7 via TechNet+ subscription, and a copy has been happily running on the main laptop at home for about 2 weeks now. So it is natural that I would like to jump into Snow Leopard as soon as possible to see what improvements this release brings to my iMac. But since the iMac is a mission-critical system, I compiled a list of compatibility for the Mac software I have, using Snow Leopard Compatibility List at Wikidot as the primary source and then checking the developer's website to double-check.

Of the 100 software (the round number is purely coincidental):

Compatible - 54
In Progress - 6
Incompatible - 11
Unknown - 29

I'm expecting at least half of the 'unknown' ones to be compatible, so that's about 70% compatiblity right at the release time. The problem has to do with the 11 incompatible ones. Half of these software are being used daily, and I consider them to be rather important. So they need to be made compatible before I make the big move.

In conclusion, I'm holding off the transition for about two weeks until the dust is settled. Sigh...
