There were three hurdles:

  • Diskutil reported minor errors on the system disk.

Boot from install CD, run Diskutil from pull-down menu.

  • Partitioning failed due to unmovable files.

Shrinking the partition size dodged the problem but left me with a smaller partition than I really wanted. Rumor has it that Parallels’ disk images are to blame and that moving them isnt really a problem.

  • Boot Camp didn’t recognize Windows XP CD I burnt via MSDN.

Booting the CD manually worked.

A future hurdle may be that I had to activate Windows to upgrade to Media Player 11 to get functional video codecs, so if I decide to reinstall to enlarge the partition, or move Windows off to a different machine should one become available, I might have problems with the license.

Why? Mac games are few in number. and perpetually expensive. Windows games are legion, and cheap a year or two after release.

Det er ei ganske interessant øving, ikkje minst fordi det minner meg på kva for eit ubrukeleg søppel Word er.

Endringssporefunksjonen er nyttig, for all del. Men altså: Folk™ kan ikkje typografi. Avsnittsbrekking og figurplassering er oppgåver maskinen stort sett klarar betre. Word skal gjera så mykje ræl automatisk, kan ikkje faenskapen gjera noko av det viktige også?

Spent yesterday in couch with [Lyons 1980]. Logged in this morning, to find well over 2000 illegitimate comments in this blog. What to do, what to do. Hours of boring clickety-click select comment, delete comment, select comment, delete comment ahead.

Or recognize that the spam has not been written and posted one by one by a human being. Recognize the similarities. Have a couple of fun hours coding Python and poking at the Movable Type database files, deciphering the custom database format and figuring out how to remove comments based on whether or not they contain the substring, say, sex or paris hilton. Fire up, boom. 90% gone. Examine remaining unwanted comments, pick new badwords. Rinse. Repeat. Happy. Feel the power.

[] is the empty matrix.
| is logical or.

[] | 1 evaluates to []. In other words,

if ( [] | 1 )
  function();
end

will never call function.
