Happy New Year, All...

So, this has been an interesting Saturday.

First, see that post down there about Vista?  Forget it.  I just finished reinstalling all my work apps on my laptop, after getting rid of Vista and putting XP back on it.

(Thanks to thehotfix.net forums and the work of the fine individuals there, I even got a cumlative post-SP2 pack.  I know, I know - ancient news to most - but I'm so used to maintaining Ghost images that I forget about things like this.  Shame on me for not making an image of this Latitude...)

In short?  The straw that broke the camel's back yesterday was the four times Vista just decided to disable both my wired and wireless network adapters, and the only way to enable them involved reboots.  Screw it; I'd had enough problems with having to disable/enable my adapters when waking from sleep that I'd taken to shutting down - despite the fact that Vista is supposed to have better laptop support as a major selling feature.

I hate Windows.

Second, I've been playing with my PSP.  A lot.  That little thing is great; movies and TV shows, games, music.  I'm sold.

(And paranthetically, I would hope so after I bought the damn thing, right?)

Last, we've just been busy, as usual.  So, my online little sparse blog thingy is even sparser.  No promises to update things with any increased regularity, either.  I'm heading to the Vista/Office 2K7/Exchange 2K7 launch event in DC on the 30th, then to San Diego the following week.  I might have some time during/after to write.  Maybe not.  Heck, I'll even try to take a camera!

...

Believe me?
