So tired. I don’t know what’s been going on lately, but I’ve added more medication to keep me awake during the day and I’ve been more exhausted than ever. I’m really glad I dropped the other class I was going to take this semester though. Just the one class is much more challenging than I was prepared for. I need to put more time into it than I have been.
Need nap.
In laptop news…
- I love Dellilah (my new laptop) and Walter (her mouse buddy).
- Vista is so different from XP. I just don’t get it. It’s pretty, but the menus are all different and non-intuitive. Why change something as basic as that?
- New Matlab is pretty cool. I’m still not sure I like it better than MathCad though. They’re good in different ways though…
- On the lookout for a good bag. I found a couple really pretty purse-style bags and some trendy messenger bags. The backpacks all look pretty similar and bigger than what I need. I’m thinking laptop, 1″ binder, 1 book, mouse, and extra battery/charger/etc. I’m past the point where I need to carry text books around with me on a day to day basis. But if I’m going with messenger bag, I may as well just get a sleeve and use my regular work bag. So, I need to define my requirements and operational profile and then prioritize my key performance parameters. Then finding a bag will be a cinch!

I totally agree with you on the XP vs Vista thing. I didn’t like Vista at first and I’ve sort of gotten used to it. Hard to read with all the ‘pretty’ graphics… eh big deal! :)

It wouldn’t be Microsoft if they didn’t keep trying to reinvent perfectly good wheels. I just installed Office 2007 last night, and I’m having trouble trying to get past the look of the “ribbon” to actually start using the program …

I’m getting used to Vista, so that’s good. I think another week or two will do it. If only I could figure out how to turn off its childish need to ask permission before doing anything…
I’ve only seen Office 2007 on other people’s machines, but I’ve noticed the same thing. A lot of people are having trouble with the ribbons. I currently don’t have Office in any form installed. I’m deciding between Open Office and Office 2003. Please let me know if you get used to 2007 or if there turn out to be major benefits from the new look.
