Upgrade at Work
23 Apr 2007I just upgraded my machine at work to Vista Business. This is the first “upgrade” that I did. All of the others, I was forced to do a clean install. The upgrade process went fine. Maybe it took a little longer than hoped (2 hours). Good thing I had other things to do. I also upgraded to Photoshop CS3 and trying out Dreamweaver CS3.
The main thing that is striking in Adobe Photoshop CS3 is the absence of ImageReady. I have been using ImageReady for a long, long time. I am sad to see it go. Someone wrote a nice eulogy. (He spelled it funny.) I will miss ImageReady. It launched fast. It had everything I needed. Now, there is the complexity of Photoshop. Like I really need to be learning new stuff.
Oh, and I discovered a neat little program. I am using the Windows Vista Sidebar. It’s called Screen Snaper (Should be “Snapper” – What’s up with misspellings today?) Anyway, it is a good free substitute for Snagit. I do like Snagit, but free is free.
The only thing wrong that I see is that Trillian is refusing to work. Hmm. I will give reviews later of Dreamweaver. Prediction? Total garbage.

“Elegíe” is a French spelling of “elegy”, which in turn is derived from the Greek word “elegos,” meaning a reflection on the death of someone/something or on sorrow in general. A “eulogy” is similar in modern culture in that it’s an oration usually reserved for talking about the dead, though strictly speaking a eulogy is just a speech honoring someone (it comes from Greek words meaning “good speech”).
Since I’m being picky, I’ll have to concede that my blog post about ImageReady was more of a eulogy than an elegíe, but I like the word elegíe.
BTW, if you thought Dreamweaver 8 was total garbage (and I did, at least on the Mac), you’re going to have the same opinion of Dreamweaver CS3. Because they’re pretty much exactly the same.
