I?m back?miss me?

Monday mid-day my laptop starting FREAKING out - I got the dreaded blue screen and in the end had to reformat. I?m sad to lose all my emails, but other than that, I had been pretty diligent about saving everything I cared the most about on my external drive. So, after a day of reinstalling and reconfiguring, I?m pretty much back to speed. Bonuses - no more trojans (or whatever was wreaking havoc on my computer) and I?m back to almost 80G of free space! Yay!

Hi New Blog!

Filed under Uncategorized

Trying out Google’s blogging server to see how it compares to Wordpress. Lately, WP has become extremely annoying and I’m wondering what else is out there.

Hopefully this will be a neat place to jot down thoughts.
