too much going on and i am super beat. quickly: finally upgraded to OS X and i am loving it (though having issues installing\/getting all the software i need). nicole, my better half, is working feverishly on a paper she is meant to give as part of a conference on AIDS (the conference, and her topic, are much more complex than that, obviously, but my brain is struggling to keep up with her) on may 6th; it will also be a chapter in her long-awaited dissertation, and i am more than thrilled to see her writing it again… i must get to work on a four hour lecture i have to give to 12 artists on object oriented programming on wednesday, for the digital media MA at Wits (there should be a link to the University of the Witwatersrand below somewhere; i am feeling lazy just now). gonna relate it all to Macromedia Director, but want them to understand the basics of high-level programming before they get started. it really does make it easier “to make things happen” in the long run. just ask Dan O’Sullivan.
