So long 2009!

As the last few hours of 2009 are upon us, I’d like to wish you all a wonderful New Year. 2009 has been a good year for both me personally and my family. We’ve had a lot of challenges, but things seem to work themselves out. I’m thankful for all the work that I have had over the year and thankful for a healthy and happy family. You can’t ask for more.

Also I’ll copy and past a little note that I posted earlier today to some friends.

#10yearsago I was living in Huemoz, Switzerland. What amazing time in my life. Traveled a few countries with Anna Kennedy, spent Christmas with Christian Bekaan in Bielefeld, Germany and New Years with Stefen Josef Lowery in Aosta, Italy. Here’s to the next ten years!

Wish you all the best in 2010!

mdshivers.com website refresh!!

If you have visited the site since last night, you will see that the entire site has been redesigned from head to toe. I had several goals to accomplish and several things that I wanted to happen. First – was to update my video and photography sections. I’m able to add content much quicker now.

I’ve also worked on some branding things and general usability. I’ll be posting more about this soon, but just wanted to let everyone know now!

problem opening older powerpoint files in snow leopard (10.6)

So I just updated a friends brand new out of the box MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6). It had the upgrade disk in the box. I then loaded Office 2008 and all the service packs. I have a older .ppt powerpoint and it literally takes about 10 minutes to open up. Once I open it and save it as a .pptx it works fine and opens immediately. I checked the same file on an Intel iMac running 10.5.8 and it opens the .ppt in just a couple of seconds.
So no Microsoft Office 2008 is not completely compatible with Snow Leopard. I hope they fix this soon. Not sure if this is Microsoft thing or Apple thing. Luckily, I can reinstall Leopard if I need to.
