I have gone and done it now. I installed Windows Vista on both my work laptop and home desktop, and what a hassle it was.
The laptop most of all because I need everything to work on there. It wasn’t until about 3 o’clock today that I finally got the bulk of the applications that I need on a daily basis to finally start working, or at least have a reliable workaround. Vista’s security is more of a bother then a helpful feature. Nearly every file copy is attached to 2-3 annoying pop up dialogs, application installs take a jury of your peers to install. Not to mention that the fan on my laptop hasn’t shut off since the Vista disk hit the DVD-ROM drive. /sigh
James and Lana took off yesterday, it was great to see them and we hope to see them again soon, but this time in Austin. I know a few other people that may like us to head south as well. Now if only the real estate market wasn’t in the shitter.
Some very disconcerting news on the job front, things are in much turmoil right now. Hopefully things work out for the good, but its very dicey right now. I’m definitely not looking forward to the possibility that we could have to work MORE hours then we do currently. Hopefully by the time that Kelly and I get back from Vegas we will have some insight into what is truly going to happen.
So we are supposed to get a bit more snow tomorrow, or so the incompetent weathermen around here are saying. As long as its not an ice storm like my folks received recently, and I will be happy.
Oh and btw go see this movie tomorrow:

“I Am Legend” – The story was written in ’54 so the writers of the movie had to take tons of liberty to bring the film into modern times, and I’m kind of scared that it will lose some of the personal intensity that Robert Neville goes through in the original book, for the sake of pretty cityscape scenes. The original story took place in LA, near Compton to be exact. But the movie takes place in NY, making it an Escape from NY kind of deal. I have high hopes for the film though, so we will be at the theater this weekend.
