I just figured out what has been bugging my macbook! Just the day before, my macbook's been making a lot of noise - hard disk spinning at high speed + fans @ >6k rpm - it was pretty irritating cos of the noise and got me pretty worried for a while.. what if my hard disk dies on me during WWDC??? Furthermore, I surfed through mac forums and googled in depth - most recommended repairing disk permissions, which I did to no avail. Another suggested resetting the SMC, but I didn't really want to try that unless I had no other choice.
But all's well that ends well! I finally checked out iStat's 'processes' section (I had it turned off initially) and realised it was parental controls! I'd just enabled that the day before for a 'Strictly Work' user account - just trying it out since I could use it to block facebook.com and the like to prevent myself from wasting time online and concentrate on my work instead. But, on seeing that it took up 90%-100% (!!!) of my processing power, I promptly deleted that user account, disabled parental controls, and immediately restarted my macbook.
Voila! Problem solved and I'm happy again=)
Alright due to complaints from carol that I've been talking too much about techie stuff lately, I shall stop that geek talk for today!
Patrick Dempsey!! Totally our eye candy throughout the movie! Apart from that, conversation's pretty funny and it's really touching too! I won't deny that the eye candy made a (big) difference too=p Wahahaha=)
And after hearing that Iron Man's nice from carol, I'm starting to regret not watching!=x Oh well, no worries I guess, I'll get to watch it somehow heh=D
