Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
8/9: getting to keep my greek font
This summer I switched my home computer from a PC to a Mac. I've been really happy with my Mac, but the biggest worry about making the switch involved my PC-only Greek font which I've used in countless documents for work and research. Chris ordered me my Mac before we had come up with a solution, and we decided to take a "cross that bridge when we come to it" approach (i.e., don't think about it until the school year starts and the issue becomes pressing). But today I got word that the updated versions of my Greek font will now work on a Mac. Hurray, hurray! This may seem like a crazy thing to be happy about--but, really, it's such good news.
Of COURSE! I have 2 friends with PhDs in Classics from UC-Berkeley -- a roundabout way of saying that I understand that you HAVE to have that font!
ReplyDeleteMy one thing today is that I completely dismantled a 5-foot bookshelf, moved it aside, vacuumed under it, dusted the shelves and dusted every book (double-shelved!) and put everything back in place. No, I am not a neatnik, the polar opposite, but I've been trying to clean up a bit. I found hundreds of books I'd lost track of and some I'd really like to read.
I'm glad you understand about the Greek font craziness, Barbara, and I cheer your book-shelf cleaning, too!
