![]() Most educators–subsisting on the low end of most pay scales as we do!–look for ways to trim costs wherever we can, so it’s a good thing that there is a fair amount of free software available. So come on all you Mac users…start thowing me those links to software I just can’t live without! Software that allows me to share my desktop via web camīut I’ll take anything that will allow me to do my job better, faster, and more efficient and of course all that other stuff too. What I’m looking for in particular at this moment: The onces I can’t live without.īut what I need from the community is the other great stuff that makes a Mac…well a Mac. So I’m busy tonight putting in all my Firefox extentions. (Firefox and Skype came preloaded from the school…we’ll work on Twhirl for next year □ ) I’ve been secretly wanting a Mac for the past couple of years so I’m looking forward to putting this thing through the test in the next couple of weeks.īut first I need help from all you Mac users out there. The last time I had a Mac was 9 years ago running 8.xx OS. Lastly I went to school today and picked up my new school issued computer. ![]() I have some retraining to do of my clicking fingers. It was great when I clicked on an and a link and they both loaded. Last night I found myself reading through blogs and e-mails and skipping over links that I knew were blocked…that is blocked in China. So every teacher has wireless in their house that runs off of the school’s network. It was nice though to turn on my laptop and find out that ISB installed a wireless system in teacher housing over the summer. The new house is bare as we await our shipment from Shanghai to arrive (a 20ft container) full of “beautiful carpets and furniture” (direct quote from wife). Although we have situated our bed so the A/C is blowing directly on me and not on her. So today we compromised and bought a fan. The wife of course is loving it and we constantly fight over A/Cs being on or off. Last night’s low of 81F and today’s high of 90F just about did me in. The view is not the only thing different. ISB is about 30 minutes outside of the city center making our view a little different from Shanghai. ![]() Cats traveled well and we’re slowly settling into our new house in our new city. Well we made it to Bangkok without much of a fuss.
