Hi guys! So outside PPT, I have a secret life! (Shock *gasp* horror!) I’m actually a law student as well, and I have my first end-of-year exams tomorrow. As you can see in the above photo, this is where I do most of my studying. I find studying at my desk difficult as the computers here are connected to the internet and when I sit here, I start jumping on PPT and chatting with all my friends. *falls over and twitches*

Ah well no matter… I feel like PPT chugs along without me so i can take a few moments to really get stuck into my education. Speaking of which, this is just further proof that I am a REAL person people! I am NOT a robot haha. Where did that question come from anyway?

Looking at images like this reminds me of the days when I first started using a computer. It had a grand total of 180 MB of space, most of which was taken up by the installation of Windows (I think it was Windows version 3.2.1.1 or something back then) and a game that was more than 25 MB was considered HUUUUGEEE (think Mortal Kombat).

Oh gosh… technology has seriously taken leaps and bounds since then. Praise the Lord… because PPT takes up a couple of gigs on the server. Can you imagine trying to run PPT on a lot of 180 MB servers? I can’t.

Three cheers to The PPT Show hosts Helena and YoYo for having the guts, determination and sweat to go through with The PPT Show challenge and dress up as Neopets characters for a very Neopetty Halloween 2007! Looking good guys!

This is what happens when my ISP decides to throttle my internet connection and messes with my ability to host episode #36 of The PPT Show. Not. Happy. Jan!!

Before the update. This is the official PPT computer running Mac OS X Tiger.

After the update. This is the official PPT computer running Mac OS X Leopard!!

Doesn’t it just look incredibly sexy? I now have a heightened sense of my surroundings and using the power of Leopard, I will bring you an even bigger and better PPT!

I must admit, the upgrading process didn’t go as smoothly as I thought it would go. This was the first time I had a “Microsoft” moment with Apple. The install CD kept stalling at a gray screen. I let it wait out for about two hours before shutting off the computer. Taking out the CD (by holding down the mouse button upon reboot), putting it back in and trying again (but not before resetting the computer by holding the “c” button and making sure it booted into the right computer again). Pretty complicated for an Apple isn’t it? I was surprised.

After that, it went swimmingly and as you can see, it all look amazing! I absolutely love it. Now to make the site better somehow…
