Blog Within a Blog: My New Computer 7.0

    I went ahead and installed my new SATA drive this morning. I made sure to dig out my old anti-shock wrist strap this time so I could avoid any more problems. It went fairly well, apart from blowing up half the house, setting fire to the carport, and bursting a water main. Oh yeah, I had to have four fingers and a leg amputated; but at least the new drive is in and formatted. I even installed Windows XP before I left for work. The stage is set for me to spend all night downloading patches and updates and loading in all my old software, when I get home.
    I’m very glad to escape from Windows 2000. It’s been acting buggier with each passing day. Just lately I’m unable to do any kind of “Find Files” search. Whenever I try, “explorer.exe” crashes and my taskbar becomes useless. This followed right after the last Windows Update critical patch, so I wonder if that had anything to do with it. I haven’t found any corroboration online, so it might be just a coincidence.
    In Diet Blog: Day Fourteen news, today is the last day of Phase One. I’m looking forward to adding carbohydrates back into my diet. It might help to wake me up. Don’t tell my boss, but I’ve spent the last two weeks in a lethargic stupor. I think the cold weather is slowly turning me into a bear, and my system is telling me I should be hibernating.
