Work Overload
I hate leaving Teabass for so long without a post, it’s been over a week now although it has not been for lack of effort. We’ve had a pretty hefty workload this past week at work, with the deadline looming and so many little tasks all dependent on each other everyone here is very busy.
I’ve also come to the realization that you can’t possibly include every feature in your first release. There are going to be a number of really cool features that are going to be added in the weeks after we launch, simply because there is not time to do everything we could spend a year in development and include everything in the launch but we’d likely miss the window of opportunity.
Plus this way you get to look forward to something new almost every single week!
I made the grave mistake of forgetting to take my charger home from work with me on friday evening, so I’ve been computer-less for 48 hours now. It was not as painful as I first feared but it did mean that I couldn’t do any of the things I planned this weekend, instead I filled myself with beer and confused ‘A Christmas Carol’ with ‘The Nativity’!!
I thought about buying a second charger for the macbook but I was instantly put off that when I saw the price tag… £59 for a plug is pretty damn steep, yes Apple make good hardware but they like you to pay through the nose for the extras!!
Oh and thanks for pointing out that the new Teabass theme does not work in IE, all the development was done on a Mac using standard CSS, and the fact that it is broken in both IE 6 & 7 shows what a mess Microsoft have made of it. I’ll get round to adding some hacks later in the week, for now you should really be using a proper browser.
that’s about $110 for a charger; they’re about $60 when bought over here, though of course, you miss that great big english plug

seems like standard price for laptop chargers to me
Good luck with everything planned!

I was just shocked at that price, I’ve just recieved my first pay cheque and it still seemed a bit steep!

Yeah laptop chargers are very expensive. I have a spare 85W MagSafe charger which I would sell to you for less, but unfortunately I think the standard MacBooks use 65W MagSafes and I don’t want to blow yours up lol

Yeah the Macbook does take a less powerful one, I’d prefer not to melt it just yet but thanks for the offer
