Windows 7…check!

Okay, so I successfully installed Windows 7 on my machine tonight.  It was quite painless!  I was thoroughly impressed with the install.  I backed everything up to an external HD like suggested, but I don’t think it was even needed.  I have not checked all my files yet to see if they are present, but first glance says yes.

I also quickly downloaded Microsoft Writer to edit my blogs.  So far, it seems a little more intuitive and user-friendly than the Blogger interface.  More later…stuff still to install and update some device drivers.

Geek Squad

So today, it's been a bit lazy for me. I've been in the house working on some geek stuff. I'm finally getting around to upgrading my laptop from Vista to Windows 7. I was going to wait until I went back to the US for Christmas and bring back a copy, but I could no longer figure out a good reason to wait. I could download Windows 7 from the Microsoft website and just do it now--frankly I'm tired of Vista. So far, I've got most of my system backed up and secured all my old software and registration codes so that I could reinstall the stuff once I get the new OS loaded. From everything I've seen, I'm really excited to try it out.

The other thing I've been working on Googlewave. It is the next top-secret mind control software that Google has developed that will take over the World. : ) Not really, but is seems interesting and I'm trying to get the hang of it. If anyone I know is testing Googlewave, send a wave over and we'll chat. First name.last name on the gmail account.
