Hi Everybody! (if anybody else is here this Saturday).

I saw in the Friday thread that Normy and Slider will both be away for a few days.

I didn't post yesterday because I spent all day and all evening setting up my new computer. I'm about done with that. I decided not to sell my old computer after all - I want to keep them both so I have a backup. They're also good for different things, plus I use two incompatible development systems and need to install them on different computers.

I'm still doing a lot of cleanup type stuff today - updating software, defragging my hard disk. This morning I spent about an hour very carefully cleaning the dust and stray hairs out of my notebook keyboard. I've noticed that the motherboard can go after a while if too much gunk gets in there.

After I do some more basic stuff today, I want to spend most of the day studying a new Web development technology I want to learn.

Anybody else here today and working?

It's humid and pouring again today - a good day to stay inside and take care of things I haven't had a chance to do...

Software on computer has been updated and the backup is running. I'm going to go to bed early tonight, so I'm just going to fool around with OneNote a little bit, and that's it.

I'll be back tomorrow - I wonder if anyone else will be here. It's so dead one weekends.

I backed up the hard drive of one of the computers. Now I need to update the software on the other computer and back that up, too.

I also answered some business email.

I'm feeling tired - I got up early this morning.

I set up and formatted the new external hard drive, and installed Norton Ghost on the new computer. I'm about to back up the hard drives of both computers.

I returned the USB hub from Radio Shack, and bought a better one for half as much at J&R (plus a huge, screamingly fast external hard drive). I'm eating lunch now - back to work after that...

Looks like it's just me and me today. Oh well. I realize most people don't try to get work done on weekends.

Ta Da

- Made a belt to hold up my too-big shorts.
- Figured out how to attach office light to wall.

To Do

- Return USB hub to Radio Shack (bright blue light drives me crazy).
- Buy another USB hub on the internet - or maybe go to J&R (that's fun).
- Spend some time learning to use Microsoft OneNote.
