Entering the high-tech world a little later than never

I'm typing this entry from bed, with Ralph happily laying across my feet. I guess I get it now why people like this whole wireless thing. It's pretty neat.

What's not neat is having to recreate all of my bookmarks, download all of my applications, and burn and port over all of my music/pictures/whatever. Oh well, I guess I have a project for the next century.

But my Jennifer is the bestest ever ever ever for agreeing to pay the extra money so that I could get out of Windows hell! It's so nice.

Yesterday was a trip to the mall followed by an impromptu dinner at Coworker Gina's house. Good times, except that I couldn't stop yawning and they kept offering me coffee and stuff. I dig me some Coworker Gina.

What did you get?

iBook G4, 14"

[happy2beso.livejournal.com]

Yay! I got a new one of those yesterday! (Well, 12 inch). It's fun, huh?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yes, except for the part where you have to download everything all over again. And it's been so long since I've had a Mac that I'm going crazy trying to remember where everything is! (But it's fun!!)

If you need any help finding stuff, let me know. http://www.versiontracker.com is a great site.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've gotten some stuff from there already. Thanks!!

Woo hooo! Jude is now in the mac club with me!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yay!!

I actually went to IKEA on Thursday, and bought a breakfast tray for the whole sitting in bed with the cats and the computer thang. They have a nice little plastic one in red or white that has really good high legs. Most of the ones I've looked at have short little legs, that will fit over your legs, but not when you have a good comfy comforter on them (and that's of regular people, not people with legs like mine). The IKEA one is much better, and also communicates to the cat 'this is the area you shouldn't walk on', which he didn't seem to get before, when it was just sitting on my lap. *Then*, it was just an extrawarm extension of my lap.

Me, I'm afraid I stuck with windows, an Acer Aspire 3610, with a 15.4" widescreen monitor, which is crisper than autumn leaves. The West Wing wasn't on in this market on Sunday, so I downoaded it on Shareaza, and watched it in bed the other morning while eating honey nut cheerios and having a cat tell me he'd be my best friend if I gave him the sugar milk. Good times.

Sounds cool. Really, I think laying in bed with some cats is quite possibly one of the best things ever. Second only to laying in bed with a girl, of course. :)

:) Mmm ibook love. jason got me one for Christmas/graduation. And he got me a mac mini for my birthday this year. Since my mac mini replaced my "base camp" desktop computer, I can totally relate about trying to port everything over. The only thing I'm really sad about is I can no longer play Family Feud at uproar.com. *sob*

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

D'oh - you were playing Family Feud? I wish I had more time to play goofy stuff on the internet. I want more playtime hours, dammit!

Man, Jason buys some $$$$ presents. Whoo!

[prettyvacantone.livejournal.com]

Haha I can't help it...I'm totally addicted to dorky internet games on Uproar.com and addictinggames.com (the latter lives up to its name).

I'll give you more play hours. *winky*

Yeah. He knows that I'm a Jew, so he tries to buy my love. It works.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Sweet. Come play with me. Rowr.

[prunesnprisms.livejournal.com]

Wow, super cool!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yes, very!!
