mac status report

My mac is hanging in there! Hooray! It's been a week since I got it back from service, and it's still basically working. A few minor problems:

  • When I unplug it, even if the battery is fully charged, it sometimes immediately shuts down, and won't restart until I plug it in again.
  • It seems to have trouble reading from cd's, but not dvd's.
  • I can't complete the 10.3 install from the install disks. I had to install X11 explicitly, and I don't have iPhoto at all.

In other news, ChemPad has hit 1.0, and we're now adding features for version 1.1. I'm working on a tutorial, but ye gods writing documentation is stultifying. Also finding bugs in code generated by a mechanical language port is stultifying.
