It was only 60F in the morning. I like this cool night and morning and warmer day time. Comparing to other parts of the country, Seattle is doing very well I think.
It is very interesting to see the difference between Windows users and Macintosh users. I still see lots of people using Windows XP while many of Mac users are swathing to Lion. I think there are few factors to this phenomenon.
(1) Mac user expect greater things from new operating system, while Windows users are afraid of upgrade that may cause some software and peripherals to stop working. However, Mac new operating system does the same.
(2) Windows OS seems to get fatter and slower requiring newer faster computers to run.
(3) Windows upgrades from XP, Vista to 7 do not always work.
(4) Windows XP (11 year old OS) was a good enough operating system.
(5) Windows upgrade costs two to three times Mac OS X Lion.
It was very warm today. It is after 6:00pm and the temperature is still up in the middle 80s. The forecast for tomorrow is rain and the much cooler temperature. I like it cooler.
I think our web mail system for our IMAP hosting is becoming one of the best in the industry. To make development faster, I asked entire R&D team not to use any mail software but our web mail. That seems to speed up the development speed.
I just upgraded my Desktop Mac to LION. So far I found three application programs that are no longer working. Starting with LION, Mac OS-X does not support any application that are designed for PowerPC CPU. I will not upgrade to LION on my MacBook Pro.

You live in Seattle for summer. From October to April, Seattle is very dark and wet, but for a few months in the summer, Seattle becomes one of the most livable cities in the world. This picture was taken few days ago at Networking event at New Castle Gold Course.
