OS X 10.5.2

I’m sure by now you’ve heard the wonderful news, 10.5.2 is finally out. Yay! I’ll spare you the boring technical details, but holy crap did 10.5.2 jack my boot time. When I first installed Leopard my boot time went from 33 seconds to 54 seconds, ridiculous! Anyhow, after the 10.5.2 update it was taken my Macbook Pro a full 2 minutes to boot, for shame!

So yeah, I reset my PRAM and emptied out my caches and got things back to around 54 seconds. Just keep that in mind when you install the update. Please note, normally I don’t care about boot times that much, but I’m bored out of my mind right now.

p.s. TUAW is reporting that 10.5.2 makes your WoW run faster

Death and Taxes

In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.
- Benjamin Franklin

It’s tax season, kids! And you know what that means, right? Yeah, me neither. Anyhow, I’ve been rocking the tax scene for the past four hours and it has been pretty painful, I knew going in that I was going to have to pay in of course, and that it was going to be a lot… but it still hurts.

So, a mere six cups of coffee and $11,237 of deductions later and I think I’m in business. I now only have to pay in several grand and the world is a much happier place, I will take the time to try and lower that figure further before I actually file, especially since I’m in no hurry to pay the feds any of my hard earned money.

What about you? Are you getting money back, or paying in? Worse yet, have you not even started your taxes?!
