Never Do What I Did…

So, I consider myself to be a fairly tech savvy when it comes to computers and such. I’m not the world’s greatest genius, but I’m not a bumbling idiot either (although after this week, I’m going to have to reconsider on the latter). Here’s the scoop.

This week I decided it was finally time to do a clean install of Snow Leopard on my iMac, and so I did. My computer was running super slow, bogged down by all the extraneous programs and junk it’s collected over these past 4 years or so. It’s now running super fast and all spiffy and sleek. But I’ve now found two problems, which for some really aren’t problems, but for me they are:

Problem 1) Snow Leopard and Adobe CS2 are not compatible. Oops. Guess I should have looked into this one before doing a new install.

Problem 2) Aperture 1.5x isn’t compatible with Snow Leopard either.

Well, there go the only two programs I use to edit my photos and 2 of 3 programs I use to blog with, the third program being my internet browser, Safari. Luckily I did a backup of my complete Aperture library and still have the 100s of food photos I’ve taken… or at least so it seems. Here I am crossing my fingers while I type: You should try it sometime, it’s not easy. Anyway, it may take me a while to get some photo posts back up and even longer to finish redesigning my site, which is now caught in limbo, bummer.

So next time, I’ve learned to always run a compatibility check. And that’s also why I have not made any recent posts… I hope to solve this problem a.s.a.p. I’ve got some excellent CCP pictures to post. CCP = Christmas Candy Party. So check back soon for those.

Ta ta.
