Vercingetorix wept.
If the kernel were (not a colonel) a general, the general is Caesar (swift, sudden and devastating attacks!), my poor iMac is Vercingetorix (doomed!), and his luck has run out– Today it's crossed a threshold and it's utterly unusable– even with nothing running save iTunes, it experienced the panic. I'm waiting to hear from the… Continue reading Vercingetorix wept.
Carl
Sadness and heaviness– a call from Kelley last night letting me know that her father had passed. Carl and Barbara always treated me as another daughter to them and I love them both. Carl, you will be greatly missed.
a day
No crashes or panics today– 9 solid hours of illustrating, animating.
Stay calm amid panics.
Dreamed I went to Alaska– or maybe it was Nova Scotia. (Having never been to either place, how was I to recognize it?) Staying in some small town with hills and boulders where shop cats may as likely be fed fish as dry kibble; locals behind on technology made up for it with ingenuity and… Continue reading Stay calm amid panics.
return of the sun
The machine (you'll be happy to hear) has thus far been doing fine since the reinstall. I managed a couple hours of work on Friday evening after it was finished, crash-free. I've also purchased and installed a much more reliable (fingers crossed) font management program. Oh, what strange dreams of late! Friday, Saturday and this… Continue reading return of the sun

In which we find our heroine in the throes of a digital scenario of catastrophic proportions. Having experienced the issue known as kernel panic multiple times, with less time elapsing between each successive crash, she has decided finally to Restore the System to its factory settings. This is no whimsical undertaking; all must be backed-up.… Continue reading preparations

So many crashes today– kernel panic, no-turning-back, unrelenting crashes. Thought I might upgrade the system, install a new one in hopes of fixing, but the OS 10.5 that came with my macbook claimed it could not be installed on this machine.It's especially frustrating because, of course, I'm in the middle of several deadlines. To remove… Continue reading *%&#@!
dream
In which a family-run museum provides 'ghosts' and history; beer and other sundries on a neighboring balcony; receives visitors and empathy for the crippled girl who was lost long ago– something about her strongly associated with pheasants. It was a long and detailed one. In the transcribing of it I was reminded of another dream… Continue reading dream
kernel panic
A couple of things. 1. All day today, I have been getting the "You need to restart your computer" message. Accompanied by a gradual darkening of the screen (picture the elegant auto-shade effect on the window of the board room at the Tyrell Corporation in Bladerunner), it's been happening on and off for months– and… Continue reading kernel panic
