Permanent Link For Entry #1805

Saturday in August

Got up relatively early this morning, went up to bed soon (for my standards) last night. Watch the Olympic Games ceremony just for a bit. The weather is awesome (side note: Rikk thinks "awesome" is replacing "cool"). Super nice, it was like 59 F this morning, and I saw people jackets last night. It is pleasant right now, about 80, comfortable. Hans came by for a while and we played around with his old computer, trying to see if it would boot up, which it did. It's a 3 GHz HT box, should be fine. We are going to try and install OSX on it. We were planning on playing some Rock Band, but we ran out of time

I ended disabling System Restore on my Vista box (again), don't know why it turned itself on, maybe some of the patches and updates.

Amazon's shipping & handling abilities never cease to amaze me. That is the one single reason I tend to pick them to fulfill my orders, even if they are a bit more expensive than others. That, and reliability (you can return stuff, no questions asked.) They have truly become the kinds of fulfillment and shipping over the years. And they are the masters of packaging (they have innovated heavily in an industry where nobody thought it was possible, with creating bubble wrapping and boxing). Alas, they delivered my 4 Gb of DDR Corsair memory this morning, super-fast. Will be testing them out soon.
