Another night with about 1-2 hours of sleep thanks to my sinuses. Last night was about the same. I swear I’m going to get business cards printed with “Sleep Depravation Institute” on them! The AC is sure nice though. At least I know that my problem isn’t due to the mulberry tree outside anymore. My guess now is that I have to do a lot of dust removal from the house before I’m going to get anymore sleep. The exhaustion that is sure to come hasn’t hit me yet and I’m scared to see when it will come today…
I setup a laptop for a client over the weekend that I’ve now had to take back from it malfunctioning. Damn Compaq won’t cooperate with SP2 for XP-Pro. My own HP laptop has been running SP2 for weeks now without a single problem. The memory usage is also pretty high -over 215MB just sitting there not doing anything! Considering the fact that there’s only 256MB system RAM in the laptop, that’s a problem. Now it looks like I’m going to be rebuilding the laptop for a third time. This time, I’m going to use the XP-Home version that came with the laptop from Compaq. Maybe it’ll work better (I hope). Why can’t anything just WORK?!
I got an “essential” collection of Tears For Fears 3-CD set from BitTorrent only to find out that each and every song has been tuned up about a whole tone high. I started listening to the tracks this morning thinking, “I don’t remember these songs pitched so high before!” When I dug up some older copies of the same song, I found out that my suspition was right! Three days of downloading at a trickle for nothing!! [Aaarg]
