Application Battle
March 15, 2008 | In: Uncategorized
My battle against application creep wages on. There have been some heavy losses. In moment of weakness I installed Microsoft Office 2008. I haven’t used it yet, although some the chart templates in Word are tempting. Windows XP inflicted the greatest damage. I’m using that albatross with VMWare’s Fusion. It seems like an unholy alliance, Mac and Windows working together. With these major losses I have fought off some smaller incursions. I resisted installing Evernote. I’m not feeling a burning desire to index everything in my life. Similar attempts via programs like Yojimbo have fallen flat on their face. I can’t be a professional organizer like Merlin Mann. I haven’t installed Camino or Adobe CS3 yet, although I may not be able to resist their siren call for too long. With 28 GB of 230 GB claimed on hard drive. I think I’m winning the battle of hard drive bulge.

Aww, come on, try it, it’s only a few megs and it’s pretty sweet. You can always use the web client and then you don’t have to install a thing, but the Mac client will be so nice on that new MacBook Pro.

Ok I installed Evernote. The indexing of my life is off to a crawl. Although the ability to search words in photos is pretty slick.
