Supporting ancient OS versions?
I had a user today purchase ReceiptWallet and then complain that it doesn't work on Mac OS X 10.2.8! First off, people should download the demo prior to purchasing as I have a big "agree to this" section when purchasing that tells people to try before they buy and says we don't offer refunds. (I did give this guy a refund as I don't want to fight chargebacks because people can't read.) Second off, 10.2.8 came out in October 2003! This guy said that he stays 2 OS versions back (apparently major versions). How can anyone expect developers to support such old OS versions? Apple stopped providing security updates to 10.2.8 a long time ago!

Nice parking job
Yesterday we went to our niece's birthday party at a local park. When we pulled up, I found a perfect parking spot, but our only concern was that it was too close to the corner. I parked, we took a look and saw that it was fine. When I returned to the car later to get something, I saw that someone had parked behind us so close that his bumper was touching ours. I was furious. I moved our car and saw that there was no damage, but before doing so, I took a few photos. So not only did this yutz hit our car, he also illegally parked (he was within 3 feet of a sidewalk ramp for disabled persons).

1/4 ton chair
Today I saw an ad for a 1/4 ton folding chair. My take on this is that the chair holds up to 1/4 ton; the chair also looked a bit wider. Frankly, a chair that holds 500 pounds (presumably 1 person) is just gross. I understand that there is a market for it, but do I have to see it?

OS X Server is still a piece of crap
I've written about OS X Server in the past and somehow I keep getting roped into dealing with these machines. The concept of OS X Server is great; a small business server that anyone can setup. The implementation, however, is quite lacking. Apple took open source software, like Apache, BIND, Open Directory and Jabberd and slapped a GUI on it for configuring. In doing so, they either glossed over or forgot to implement many of the settings available in these products. My latest run ins with OS X Server have to do with Jabberd, Open Directory and Apache.
