I didn’t wake up until after 12pm, but considering I got a decent amount of sleep I guess that doesn’t matter too much. I’ve been productive in my three hours though. I took a nice long shower, updated my toe nails because it’s been about two weeks and for some god-forsaken reason, when one nail chips they all follow. I think it’s because I’ve been wearing sandals so often so maybe the air is getting to them, I don’t know – I’m trying to find any excuse for why it’s happening but whatever.
I haven’t started any work yet, I know (SLACKER!) but I’ll get to it soon. I have some email to go through before I can open up Photoshop anyway. I’m going to have to reinstall Windows over the course of the next couple of days. I’ve been trying to avoid it but I can’t open a program without something stalling so I think it’s about time. I’m in the process of transferring everything over to my external hard drive so I can easily shift things around after the reinstall. The big issue is the fact that according to “My Computer”, I only have 15GB of disk-space left. I had Baby look at it and it makes no sense to him either consider the folders that normally contain the larger files are only really using about 20gb of space. There’s a 70gb hard drive in here (the 10gb is the backup/windows drive) so I hope I’ll be able to figure things out.
I’m still working on getting my graphics card, this is why you’ve seen so many paid posts out of me for the last couple of days. The card I want is about $120 and I really have no choice in the matter as far as performance goes. In the future I’m going to have a dual monitor setup so I’ll need something that can handle that. The mother board only handles PCI-Express so that’s another factor. In the end, however, I’m getting a 512 card and if I had over $1500 I’d shoot for the one gig card. There’s no real point in that though, for $1500 I can get myself an iMac and then use that for all of my heavier graphics needs.
In any event, back to work I go.
