MacBook Analysis

by Ron on January 17, 2006 · 0 comments

An interesting comparison of the PowerBook G4 vs the MacBook Pro(MBP) and MBP vs an Acer laptop with the same processor.

The PC comparison doesn’t make Apple look good on a feature by feature comparison vs the Acer. But the Acer is bigger and undoubtedly uglier. Interesting comparison though.

The problem I had was Sarah’s face was a little dark under the rim of her hat in the picture. It would be nice to just lighten that area. Could have used Channels, Level, or Shadows, but that would have effected the whole image.

Ruby on Rails Is Driving Me Nuts

by Ron on November 3, 2005 · 0 comments

RoR isn’t driving me nuts because it is hard to program. Its driving me nuts because its hard to keep things working. I’m trying to develop a website on my OSX Powerbook and I swear I’ve spent way more time installing and uninstalling crap to get things working than I have coding.
