I just feel like it, though.

The new Dell is hooked up and cooking. It’s amazing how quite it is compared to both the laptop and my old PC. I almost could tell it was on. I spent the last few days installing the important stuff (The Sims, Trillian, pron). I’m still not done, though I transferred most of the crap from the back up DVDs from the old PC. Note to self: when using a back up program, please remember NOT to compress the files, otherwise you are fucked if you try to transfer them sans restore software. Speaking of which, Roxio sucks! They tease with a link to t a back up program, but when you click it you find you actually have to buy the upgrade. I’m debating whether or not to uninstall the damn thing and slap in Nero. That’s what I used to back up my files.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to reformat a USB flash drive? When I was tranferring my web site stuff from the laptop onto the PC I made the mistake of not cutting and pasting, then made the bigger mistake of deleting the file on the flash drive, which corrupted it. Another note to self: flash drives do not have recycle bins! Granted, with the formatting it’s only 8MBs of a 2GB drive, but still….

Am working with the mouse, but plan to switch over to my old track ball soon. The thighs aren’t quite as wide as they used to be *grin* and I keep catching myself trying to roll a non-existent ball with my thumb. I think I’ll wait a bit before cracking it open to install the old PC’s CD/DVD burner.

Ben is already eyeing the new computer, which has been named Xander (of DT, not PR). He’s pissed because I managed to pack the Sims I had created, but not his. :oP No one, but I will be touching it! Will be picking up a cheap router so he can use the laptop, while I’m online.

Oh, and on a totally unrelated note: I was turning the compost for the first time this year, this morning. Glenn said he had been doing it, but I found a ton of roots that had to be ripped up and a bunch of large rocks that smart ass kids have thrown into it. Anyhow, I discovered three carrots, each about 3 inches long (they are Nantes Half Long so that isn’t really small for them), had been growing in there. One is now sitting on my altar, impersonating a phallus. Yes, it looks THAT much like one! *laughs*
