An iMac or MacBook

I’m using APPLE FW800 G4-1.25GHz*2(DUAL) at home. This machine makes too much noise. I’m startled by the calm living room when I shut down the Mac. I have been using this Mac for about six years. So momentarily I’ll repurchase a new Mac.

But I can't make up my mind to buy which is better an iMac or MacBook. I want a MacBook at heart but examine it with a clear head and it’s needless for me. Because I have never used a Mac at except my home and my work. It means I don’t have a chance to use it as a mobile machine. Of course a MacBook is able to be used anywhere in my house. But in the first place, to carry a private computer in the work is under the ban. I have nowhere to go with my Mac.

I’m not attached G4 but very very well pleased with a cinema display. I think that I’ll use it in the future. Then had I better purchase a MacBook and Mini DisplayPort Adapter, hadn’t I?

I can’t decide which to purchase an iMac or MacBook.

I Have Had Two Staff Members

I had been gone through some times of change of workflow: from FileMaker Pro to MySQL, from plugins made in third party to self-developed system, from QuarkXPress to InDesign, from InDesign Tag to XML. For a long time I had made programs and been doing maintenance of auto publishing system on my own. But I have had two staff members.

One of them, she had been learning AppleScript, Perl, Ruby language since before. A few years ago, when I read a program source she wrote, I was very very frightened because she never used even only one subroutine. In spite of such skill, she finally has had enough skill to support my job. Now She is able to make a application using Ruby on Rails. I think she is a digger. I want to also catch on Cappuccino early.

Another one of them, he joined my company about a half year ago. There was a time I wrote about him on this blog in 2007. It’s this entry. At that time, he interviewed also other companies and my company wasn’t chosen by him. But last year he applied for my company again! I was pleasure to heard that he liked Perl. Now he became a Mac user.

I think we will start cooperation working. That's why I’m making a reference of libraries I made, on MediaWiki on my work. But I don’t quite finish this job.

What Should I Do?

Happy new year!

Aleady one week passed since a new year had come, but this entry is the first entry nevertheless. Programming subjects were two entries in my Second Blog. My entries consisted mostly of programming subject since before. All of them are going to be written there. Lessening of my entries on this blog is no mystery.

What should I do?

Well, I think I’ll list some paperbacks I bought and write those impressions.
