@danielpunkass I think the days of developing an active community via comments are mostly done, with Twitter, Facebook, Google+ taking over.

1st two days were really frustrating, 3rd day not so bad, and by the end of the 4th day I’d completely adapted.
It took me about 4 days to get used to Lion’s reversed scrolling (used a utility in Snow Leopard to mimic it). Now I don’t notice it at all.
Watching Arrested Development from the beginning (and for the first time) on NetFlix. This show is comedic genius!
@Seanfunk Good luck! Hope it goes as smoothly as it did for me!
@Seanfunk You’re probably fine with just TimeMachine, I just don’t use it so I don’t know what the restore process is like.
@Seanfunk I believe you can, but I don’t. The documentation for SuperDuper is pretty solid when you dig into it.
@Seanfunk Apparently you can with TimeMachine, though I use a different backup solution called SuperDuper! http://bit.ly/ocAP7C
@GlenTrainor Sounds pretty good to me.
@fraying Leave it on; it takes about 4 days to get used to it, and it really does feel more natural once you are.
BizNasty2point0 Happy birthday Pavel Datsuyk. I’d let this guy impregnate my future ex wife at the small chance the child be born with even half his skill.
@Seanfunk Otherwise the upgrade was very smooth. Make sure you’ve got an up-to-date backup, but otherwise it’s been great.
@Seanfunk Nope, Esc doesn’t do it. You have to mouse to the top of the screen, wait for the menu to drop down, then click an icon. Annoying.
There’s no universal keyboard shortcut for exiting full-screen mode in Lion? Are you *kidding* me?
I get the feeling @wilymanager wants me to quit my job.
gregr Thank heavens for Preferences, General, Sidebar icon size (in Lion). Had this huge font over there and it was driving me crazy!
