A few things happened to me this week in lieu of this crazy winter weather we have been experiencing. I got my car stuck in my driveway on friday night on my way to pick up a pizza and again this mourning trying to pull in. When I returned from the pizza joint I decided to park in the other driveway being that it was shoveled. Big mistake. I realized that its quite the luxury to start a car in the mourning when its been in a garage all night. The outside temperature said 9 degrees on saturday mourning and on my way to the store I realized my dashboard was litterally frozen. Yet once we got to the store, the purchase of a new, nicer shovel was required. While digging my car out of the snow friday night, the frozen air did a number on the thick plastic of the previous one.
Because of these frigid conditions, I didn’t spend that much time outside this week. This gave me time to write a new song and somewhat geek out. First, I replace the hard drive on the macbook which was basically a breeze. The hard part is going to be moving all of my data back to the new installation. I also attempted to build a “triple boot” scenario. I wanted to try windows 7. and being that I have a much larger hard drive now, I thought I would install ubuntu as well. It wasn’t nearly as difficult as I thought it would be. Being that its sort of unknown territory with windows 7, I thought I would have a lot more trouble. The only problem I have now is the wifi on linux, but what else is new? Maybe I can create a tutorial for this. Probably not.
I do have to say though, I am running google chrome on windows 7 as I type this (as well as my work computer) and am really liking. It may be my browser of choice once released for OSX.
Tomorrow I start my health kick. Lets see what we can’t get accomplished.
