it's actually kind of a nightmare over here. i consider apple's software to be, for the most part, superior to all of the third-party stuff. however, every god damned apple application has some huge crippling flaw that keeps me from, you know, actually using it.

for example,

1. mail just simply will not ever save my outgoing messages.

2. ichat continually and repeatedly loses my connection to google talk. like, i can log in and chat for five minutes before it signs me out.

3. safari just . . . sticks every time i try to send a gmail message. it just can't handle gmail!

what the hell!

miraculously, i think leopard has fixed safari, though fuck, mail and ichat, awesome as their HUGE NEW UPGRADES might be, still don't do what i want, even though they're supposed to. man, what a fucking waste.

okay literally fucking beside myself with rage over here

thunderbird manages to store fucking copies of my sent messages quite easily, and it's a hideous piece of software

why the fuck can't mail do the same thing?!?!?!?!?

i wonder when they'll at least upgrade the keyboard so that it matches the new iMac keyboard.

i think i'm going to back up my hard drive tonight. lol.

god damn it

i put my computer to sleep earlier

now when i wake it up, the keyboard layout is ENGLISH (parentheses, commas, quote marks, apostrophes, @ mark all in different places)

why the fuck did this happen?

and how the hell do i change it back to the japanese layout?

no

i'm not asking how to put the keyboard into japanese typing mode, i'm asking how to change what the actual keyboard layout is recognized as. as in:

japanese keyboards have keys in different places.

for example, on a japanese keyboard, the apostrophe is shift+7

+ is shift+;

( is shift+8

) is shift+9

et cetera.

when my computer last awoke from sleep, it was set to a US English layout

in other words, ( is now shift+9, ) is shift+0, et cetera

my macbook pro has a japanese keyboard.

i have actually very seldom ever used a computer that didn't have a japanese keyboard, so i'm used to the japanese layout.

having it set in a US english layout is very seriously cutting my typing speed, like, in half.

i just noticed that when you click on a filename to change the name of the file, when it shifts into edit mode only the name of the is highlighted -- it leaves the period and the file extension be. man! that took a while for those genius software engineers to figure out, i swear!
