This is posted from Pania, who is my new laptop. She is a Compaq Presario with a 15" screen and a number pad attached to the keyboard. She is mostly so that I can sit in the sun in the lounge and do my homework and read on the internet. I will try very hard not to use her when lying in bed (yes, that's what I'm doing now, but she's new and shiny and one night won't hurt, right?) and only use Annabelle.

First thing I did when starting to set uo: try to remove Nortons.

People who already have multiple computers: is it possible to be logged in on livejournal, gmail, hotmail and delicious on two computers at once without any problems when both computers are on, or am I going to have to remember to log out on one or the other?

I rewatched Twelve Angry Men tonight. It kept me entertained through eating dinner, polishing two pairs of boots and one pair of shoes and only started to lose me towards the end when I started setting up Pania. It's a very good film. I haven't seen it since first year psych back in 2001 when we were learning about group dynamics. It was very good then, too.

The hardest thing for me to get used to so far (apart from Vista) is the mouse. I am so used to having to use one of my hands to deliberately move the mouse that I keep brushing the touchpad and occasionally hitting one of the buttons and then end up going places or doing things that I don't really want to do. Vista is somewhat annoying - I managed to turn off the pop up that asks for confirmation every time you add or delete things and that made it a bit better.

Saw the teaster for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland movie that is going to come out sometime next year. Seem to be quite a few changes, but that's more than okay because I seem to like almost every other version of Alice (and especially American McGee's Alice) more than I like the original. I just don't like Lewis Carroll's Alice, but I really like what other people do with it and the changes they make; the creepier the better, in my opinion.

I should shut down and go to sleep. At least I've found the shut down button now...

Who I am

Gacked from morebliss

* Post ten of any pictures currently on your hard drive that you think are self-expressive.
* NO CAPTIONS!!! It must be like we're speaking with images and we have to interpret your visual language just like we have to interpret your words.
* They must ALREADY be on your hard drive - no googling or flickr! They have to have been saved to your folders sometime in the past. They must be something you've saved there because it resonated with you for some reason.
* You do NOT have to answer any questions about any of your pictures if you don't want to. You can make them as mysterious as you like. Or you can explain them away as much as you like.

AVG screwed up itunes on all of our computers except for Pania today, but after some experimentation and googling, we managed to work out how to make itunes an exception in AVG, so all is well and good now. We have music!
