Often, I feel like Macs are the hardest to geek on.
There's a big rumor that using a Mac is a breeze. I guess when you're just a simple person, with very minimal computational or technical needs, it is a very easy and beautiful interface. But Windows is too actually, if on that same level.
Now, I find it time and time and again very frustrating to install applications on my machine. Of course these aren't the usual applications, I'm talking about not so commercial software, the types that are used to solve coupled second degree PDEs or whatever. Unlike Windows which has binaries for its applications (for the record, I haven't encountered any Windows application that had to be built manually) and Linux which has detailed solutions on installations, there's this fuzzy how-to for Macs. Essentially same principles apply in installing on Macs and other Linux flavors because they're both built on UNIX, but Macs are like the foreign cousins of LInux. They're similar, but often use different languages.
So frustrated right now.
On a different note, I went to the Eng'g Job Fair again yesterday afternoon. I vividly recall the P&G person telling us last Monday that the exam was at Jan 12 4pm. Namove ata or napagbaliktad ko kasi 11:30-1 pala. Oh well, at least I got to submit my resume and get some more freebies. And then Macquarie is interviewing me again on Friday, but I'm not really sure on that.
