Leopard
So, so far leopard has more impressed me with the little things than the big things. Some small visual tweaks, and I actually haven't used spaces all that much yet (and it's kind of pissed me off a couple times, windows appear to have strong affinity, so if I've, say, dragged the 'Connect to Server' window in finder to a different space than the one I'm currently on.. even if it's NOT currently open, it'll open on the other space and flip over to it. Kind of weird, makes sense I guess but it's mildly annoying while I'm not used to it. Not sure I ever will be..)..
I have yet to get time machine working the way I want to, so maybe I'll eventually be impressed by that. Still trying to get netatalk to not suck (ubuntu won't link netatalk to openssl, fuck you licensing issues).
Cover flow in finder was just awesome squared when I spun through a couple hundred pictures and videos from the party this past weekend.
But the small things are impressing me more, even though they probably should have been in there since the beginning:
Tabs in Terminal.
Speed. Everything starts so quickly. I don't know if it's because I reinstalled, but wow. Most everything in <1 bounce.
Scrolling non-active windows!
More distinctive identification of what windows are active (deeper shadow, lighter colors for inactive windows). Perhaps this isn't too different from previous style, but I ran shapeshifter and this is nicer.
In other news, I've now had a video game prevent me from going to work, and it was NOT halo 3. We got wrapped up in playing portal, and by the time I realized what time it was (half way through us playing through it again with commentary), it was rather late and I didn't want to drive home from Rochester. I feel rather silly about this.
Look at me still talking when there's science to do..
