0:13.2

Hello and welcome back to Mac power users. My name is Steven Hackett. I'm joined as always by my

0:18.3

friend and yours, Mr. David Sparks. Hello, Steven. How are you today? I'm good, David. I am doing well.

0:25.4

Excellent. I am as well. You know, weather's really nice here in California right now. We're at

0:32.5

that time of the year. Having a lot of fun with my new kind of career shift, making lots of cool

0:39.8

stuff and the world is good. Good. Yeah. I've been enjoying the stuff that's coming out of the labs.

0:47.4

I know you're busy with it. I'm glad that it's been going well. It's fun figuring out new workflows.

It's just a very interesting life I've led at this point.

1:42.9

1:48.4

have been working on some server issues there. Our friend, Resmaid, Richard has been

1:54.1

hard at work and we think we've got all the bugs worked out. We've moved to new server,
