I am still really enjoying Windows 7. The only problem is that it lives on my laptop which I normally only interact with to play movies. I really want to run it on my desktop, but, at least for the moment, I don't have the space to partition out a new drive for it to live on and I have failed the few attempts I have made into getting it to run in a virtual machine. Oh well, if all goes well at tax time (waiting on one W-2) we might be able to budget a 1TB hard drive (which I am going to call Christmas from Mom and Dad since I spent the money they gave me for Chrsitmas on bills.) If that happens, I shouldn't have any reason to complain about storage for awhile and, after combining all our data on it, should have a spare harddrive or 4 to mess with.
I have also been enjoying Anathem by Neal Stephenson. It is turning out to be absolutely nothing like what I thought it was supposed to be about, and I am curious where I got my information from. Anyways, I am listening to it on audiobook. I am terrible about setting time aside to read...I blame my computer/internet/Wow addiction. Now I can feed my computer/internet/WoW addiction while getting a solid story as a backdrop. Amusingly, the story is so involving that I can't really do anything productive on the computer while listening, but it does help the long, boring grinds in WoW.
And some quickies since it has been 11 days since I posted, I missed a lot before that, and I need to be getting ready for work: Mimosa is getting on my nerves. The trip to Terre Haute was awesome. Work has been slow. Simmons (Rook's minivan) is dead...along with his Oboe. Tori Amos' new CD is, well, only worth a quick mention so not talking about it is fitting. WoW's new achievement system is both the reason I keep playing WoW and probably why I will eventually stop playing all together. I now fully understand the Twitter API, and it will be folded into rantfest...then maybe some other services. Oh, and the first five minutes of The Sting 2 prevented me from watching the next 97 minutes.
