Well, the new copy of XP is installed. I feel rather guilty having only done an upgrade and not going all out with a clean install. It’ll probably come back to bite me in the ass later. You know, two days before a history paper is due and the system starts locking up, that sort of thing. Regardless, it’s installed.
I can’t get to Windows Update though. I remember hearing something about the site possibly being down as they prepare to release Service Pack 1 but I didn’t realize it was actually going to happen. I hope it’s not something with my machine. Can anyone else get to it?
Randomly: Does anyone else ever get a craving for a nice juicy steak? It’s probably just me but I could really really go for a nice NY Strip covered in A1. I haven’t had real red meat in a while. Either that or I’m just hungry.
Later.

Well, yesterday I got to hang out with Josh for the evening. I hadn’t seen him in a very long time so it was good to catch up. He’s been having a lot of fun out west and has returned a more “realistic” version of himself. It’s funny how much we’re still alike even after not getting to hang out for three years. Anyway, we went over to Boston Billards to shoot some pool and catch up in general. It was fun. On the way home Josh gave me a street cone. I won’t mention how we actually got the street cone. He also hooked me up with a copy of Windows XP Pro for $30. I can’t fathom such a deep discount for employees. I’m not saying its bad, it’s certainly good for the employees and their families. Kinda sad how normal cutomers get a 1000% mark-up though. After pool we went back to Josh’s house and played XBox for a little while. It was fun.
Anyway. I think I’m going to wipe the drive later tonight and do a clean install with the new copy of XP. I also got my GearGrip Pro last night. Very cool. For those that don’t know, it’s a big safety harness/carrying strap for your computer. Now I can just pick this ol’ giant tower up and carry it around rather than grabbing it with both hands and struggling to get to my car. Should come in very handy for Game Night.
After a night of catching up and hanging out I had to get up around 8:30 today and drive my brother to Southboro (outside of Boston) to meet up with him friend. He of course couldn’t drive himself. Something out not wanting to leave his van there or using to much gas or something stupid. That took up most of my morning. Anyway, I’m off to play with my ‘puter. Later.

Well, rumors abound that Josh, the long departed, has made a return trip to Milford. We think he flew in last night but no one is really sure. We’re hoping to get a hold of him and do something today since we haven’t seen him in 3 years. We’ll see what happens.

Oh, and in case I don’t mention it, Chip has graced me with an author account at Chocobo.cx. So, it looks like I’ll be posting there as well. After I finished BlogProject I will also be posting there. So, possibly, by the end of the summer, I’ll be posting to 3 sites on a regular basis. Yah!

What? Sueing everyone and everything wasn’t enough? Using the government as your own personal police wasn’t enough? Pissing off EVERYONE on the internet wasn’t enough? Now you want to control what web sites I visit?
Screw you.
I’m moving to Canada. I’ll even get free health care out of the deal. After you’ve gone too far, and no one is buying any CDs, and you have no one left to blame but yourselves, come find me so I can laugh in your stupid, arrogant faces.
