Live Blogging
(This post was written on my mom's computer, propped up next to my old laptop.)
I've been waiting oh-so-patiently for my new laptop to arrive. For the most part, I've been very lucky. On the other hand, my lack of easy access to my Outlook calendar and address book is putting a serious crimp in my ability to conduct the Big Idea and my social life in any sort of normal routine.
Just for kicks, I took the suggestion of a friend and gave my old computer (sitting very sullenly on the corner of my desk) a good shake--just to see what would happen. And LO AND BEHOLD--it works again! Well, it's seems to be starting up.
And now programs are even running!
And the internet works!
And Outlook works!
Miracle of miracles, can it be so?
Amazing--should I shut it down or keep it running?
How long will this wonderous fix last before the next crash?
Quickly reviewing my Outlook calendar...hmm, looks like I haven't missed anything too critical. Phone numbers, check. Important dates, check. Everything neatly exported, check.
What does this all mean? Well, by the end of the week I'll have two laptops, which means I can use the new one exclusively for work (and deduct it as a business expense!).
Interesting.

I have enjoyed all the phases your blog has gone through. I like the mixture of writing themes, it keeps the blog fresh. Don't get angsty, it's just a blog.
