In an effort to lessen the banality of Angry's work life, and possibly do something other than bust my knuckles for a living; I have been studying Mac OS X Support Essentials, which is not all that dull. The dullness I have discovered is a byproduct of the Console App. I've found that from an enjoyment to read standpoint, the Console logs are as dry as dehydrated water stored in packing desiccant! On the other hand, I find myself obsessed with the Goddamn thing! So much so that I have wasted literally 10's of hours on a couple of logs that I'm none to sure what is actually going on with my system. While I understand there are all kinds of errors that occur that I can disregard, it isn't those that fluster and consume my time. It happens to be process logs, etc. that I can't even get a clear answer from the Apple Knowledge Base, posts, other websites, you name it! ( Fuck! I can't even believe I'm writing about this shit!! Although, if someone read and commented on my last rant, anything can happen...) The Console acts as an info application for all events that have occurred from boot-up to shutdown. Hundreds if not thousands of 'events' get logged. For the typical admin. of a computer this is quite informative. For a freak of nature as myself, these logs can be a nightmare! They are definitely useful to me, yet I've had a difficult time leaving these little fuckers alone! Even people in the know have said, " As long as your Mac is operating correctly; Don't worry about them." I don't know.... I just want to know what makes things tick, obviously to my detriment. I'm not sure if it's 'cause I'm getting older, or that the more I think I learn the less I feel I know. I've left the Console alone now and again, only to be sucked back in after having to view some other legitimate process. Is there a 12 step program for Console? My advise to anyone else.... Don't even look at that damn thing! Unless you're an Uber-Unix-Geek. If that's the case, Angry could sure use some comfort on this front. It's either that Console or the information out there about certain processes is a bitch-devil-whore!! At least I don't see shit like this anymore! Winblows... Now that really IS a nightmare!
