Oi, well my goal of posting at least every other day fell through, didn’t it? I blame a combination of a wacky sleep schedule, bad cold and new technology. And dialup, can’t forget that dialup. Oh the woes of being a housesitter. At least the NaNo site has been down at the same time, so I don’t feel bad about not patrolling it as much as I like. Of course the next thing that happens after I type that is I check the site to find the forums back up. Oh the irony.
You might have noticed that I mentioned new technology above. After much flip-flopping and fussing I bought a new laptop. I think I am still in shock, and when I’m not reeling from shock I miss my own laptop. It’s a bit odd to consider I have a device resting on my lap that is more powerful then what is currently tangled to my desk in my room. It’s running Vista too, so that takes some time to get used to too. 100-some gb memory(80-something available), AMD Athlon processor, wide screen and an internal cd drive. For the record, I named it Tatl. Cookies to anyone who gets the reference, it’s probably sadly obvious to anyone who knows how I spent my winter in 2000. Gods, was that really 2000? Seems like so long ago… I suppose that I think of those are older because I had that console since ’96.
Heh, don’t mind my ramblings. I’ve been getting all nostalgic lately, I blame it on the month. October does funny things to me. Anyway, new laptop and I’m still learning the ropes, sorting out factory bugs, beating the OS into submission and such. Can’t wait until I get home where there is wireless, then I can really do some damage.
