So I've been given Windows 7 to run under Parallels on my own MacBook for use by work when I go into the office. And it's pretty annoying. I was used to Windows XP. That was an OS that didn't get in my way. It's very much in the background for me right now. Windows 7? Always up in my face. Always. And trying to figure ways to make it go away, well, that's just annoying. Was it the same way with Mac OS X, from 10.5 to 10.6? Not at all. From 10.1 to 10.6? I'd have no idea. But I assume it wouldn't be as awkward as it's been. But slowly starting to figure it out. Which means I'll be able to work from anywhere soon. So I guess I have that going for me. Need to get out to Home Depot to pick up some more cheap paper window shades and some wood dowels to put together the railing. That sounds bad, but it's not what you think. Picked up dinner from Panino's a block away. Not bad. Doctor's appointment tomorrow morning. Watched some TV. My internet consumption and production has drastically decreased, to the point I'm thinking of getting rid of some services that are no longer being used.
