coffee, playing with Widows 7 (6956), and getting ready to start studying. #
wow... yeah, about the studying thing. *nervous laugh* motivation is almost completely gone. #
I'm easily amused: Window 7's WordPad app can open MS Word 2007 documents (DOCX) ...very very cool. no more installing Word to open 1 doc #
@JamesProud knew you would be man ...kind of ironic. I'm cutting back right now on Twitter usage as well. in reply to JamesProud #
http://is.gd/aCDJ "Weekend Update:Plaxico Burress" on SNL...hilarious. #
It's always fun playing around with the Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org/ check out some of your favourite sites. #
turned in a final this morning. he made us drive in (20 minutes) to meet with him for literally 4 minutes. but hey, it's done #
half heartedly studying for my final tomorrow ...just...no...more...motivation left. #
oh Bryan Adams...you were so emo before emo ever existed #
listening/singing along to Christmas music and doing some work for the job on I'm supposed to be on vacation from *sigh* #
a little studying, a little prepping for a presentation, and in general probably not being as productive as I should be. #
Retweet: @ccheever suggests this Facebook Connect WordPress plugin: http://idek.net/sO ....works perfectly! Thanks. #
this is one those classic Xmas songs every should recognize... ♫ http://blip.fm/~12hfk #
GMAIL has a TO DO LIST finally! It's awkward as hell, but it's better than nothing! #
Gmail's task manager/to do list sucks right now. Hopefully they will improve it to be close to RTM's Gmail sidebar. #
1 presentation and 1 written final today...so close to being done. #
Presentation finished...written final coming up. So close to being done I can almost taste it. #
All I have left before I graduate: 1 ten minute presentation tomorrow afternoon! #
forgot I needed to make a PPT for my presentation tomorrow...doh! #
having SERIOUS motivational issues with this PPT...ugh. #
http://is.gd/aUtl "Snowflakes as you've never seen them before" ...simply incredible. #
looking at laptops ... thinking about a Dell 15" Studio, an ASUS F8, or a MacBook...decisions decisions... #
Taking any and all suggestions: looking to get a new laptop. around $1,100-$1,300. Anyone have any suggestions? #
@JamesProud MacBook is way under powered for the price though. I can get way faster for a few hundred cheaper. in reply to JamesProud #
@chrisriedinger I'm building a Latitude E6500 right now ...great suggestion in reply to chrisriedinger #
@giga I prefer power over how pretty it looks. in reply to giga #
@giga My plastic Dell Latitude D810 has lasted me 3 years without any problems. I'll take power over pretty any day of the week. in reply to giga #
@giga well a 13" is actually smaller than I'd like. I'm lookin 15.4" ...weight isn't a huge deal honestly. 1lb diff isn't a big deal. in reply to giga #
@chrisriedinger the only option for a discrete is a Quadro ...that's kind of too bad. in reply to chrisriedinger #
@chrisriedinger ouch...this is getting really expensive fast. starts with an 80GB HDD 5400RPM? geez... in reply to chrisriedinger #
@chrisriedinger don't really game much any more. in reply to chrisriedinger #
@chrisriedinger wow, the E6500 is actually really sexy (while still being a bit industrial) in reply to chrisriedinger #
@chrisriedinger @giga the problem is I'm being picky. I want to get a WUXGA ...I <3 my 1920x1200 laptop now. so nice, not easy/cheap ... in reply to chrisriedinger #
@chrisriedinger have you seen one of the Dell Studio's in person? I'm curious if they are as nice in person as they look online. in reply to chrisriedinger #
@chrisriedinger yeah...such decisions I won't lie: the MacBook is sexy, but I hate the glass screen, and it's horribly over priced. in reply to chrisriedinger #
@chrisriedinger none of the XPS's have the C2D with the 1066Mhz FSB. weird. the Studio's do though. in reply to chrisriedinger #
@chrisriedinger http://is.gd/aVkU what do you think about this ASUS? the 5,400 RPM HDD is the only problem I see really. in reply to chrisriedinger #
@chrisriedinger good to know! I didn't think there was a huge speed difference. in reply to chrisriedinger #
wet slushy snow this morning... coffee and avoiding going outside as long as possible. #
if monkey's snowed it would be snowing like one right now. #
@chrisriedinger @giga I think I'm pretty much set on a Dell XPS 1530 ...hopefully buying it tonight/tomorrow in reply to chrisriedinger #
@chrisriedinger will take a look. This is my 1st actual laptop purchase (long story), so I'm kinda being picky about the specific parts in reply to chrisriedinger #
Retweeting @wmacphail: Xmas Fact: Rudolph's nose is only red when he has an unheard message. #
done and done! ... I just graduated. (it has not actually set in yet) #
@keramurphy @steelopus Thank you in reply to keramurphy #
@scottymrit lol...yeah *sigh*. I'm aware. Thank you! in reply to scottymrit #
http://is.gd/b4tY my brand new Dell XPS M1530 should be here by the end of next week! #
so insanely excited to be going to NYC this morning/afternoon. I quite literally could barely sleep. #
my dog is SOO not pleased. he is laying in the foyer with his head on the bottom step looking at me as I run around getting stuff together. #
got on the early flight to NYC! score! #
Someone is quite openly smoking pot in their car out in front of the JetBlue terminal...this is why I love NYC :p #
Cold and rainy but at least it's New York. #
off to the Museum of Natural History in NYC for the morning/afternoon... #
