The Dynamic Duo

Went into Tokyo today for a meeting with a potential client in the morning. We had a nice talk, and she seems extremely interesting. I definitely want to talk to her some more in the future even if I don’t do her website work for her.

After the meeting, I was very fortunate in that Tod had not yet gone to lunch, and we were able to go out for sushi in Kanda and catch up. It had been way too long since I last saw Tod. Gotta take UltraGirl to that sushi place soon, it is fantastic. We learned about a new (to us) type of sushi today called noresore (no-ray-sew-ray) and if you are interested I can explain more about it later.

After we finished eating, Tod went back to work, and I went over to the Apple Store in Ginza since I had noticed this morning that one of the two memory slots in my powerbook had stopped working. I was 1 month away from the expiration of my warranty so that was lucky, and I went ahead and bought the extended warranty I had been meaning to buy for quite some time. The friendly fellow at the Genius Bar examined the machine, confirmed that a memory slot was indeed not working, and told me I’ll need to send it in to the repair center to have the motherboard replaced. Now I just have to figure out when I can do without Calculon (said Powerbook’s name, all my computers except the older ones, have the names of characters in Futurama) for a couple of days. Until then I have to limp along on 1 Gb of ram.
