It's that time of the year again, and it's getting cold outside. I really dislike the cold, but the upside is my room is going to be a bit better for overclocking.
Anyway, I'm quite bored right now. I know there's things I can do, but I just don't want to do them. I've got 2 models to build, a 600Mhz Celeron based system to play with, a room to clean, and games to play, but I just don't feel like doing it for some reason. Maybe it's because I've done so much in the past week that these past two days I've just wanted to chill out and relax. I certianly did that alright.
The upside of last week is that I did make a bit of money, other than what I made on my pay check. I got 40 dollars out of people for 3 separate repairs, 10 for 2 and 20 for another. I'm going to stop charging 10 dollars now, and charge constant 20 for repairs. I've been letting that slip a little too much. That 40 dollars could have easily been 60, and I'm a bit upset about that. Oh well, hopefully we'll have a few builds comming up that will rip things up, and make their owners happy. Two of my friends are looking for builds, one with a 2 grand budget, and the other with a 650 budget. I'll have fun with both.
Last night I finally got around to patching my theme files, third time is the charm I guess. It was a bit confusing at first, having a 64 bit OS and all, as to where to place my theme files, as they exist in both System32 and SysWOW64. That, and I needed the 64 bit SP1 files, which I didn't have either. Anyway, everything is running quite nicely now, and I'm running the Aquos 2 skin by yoitzalvin, the 22px size. I find it's a lovely theme, and really puts a spin for the better on the Aero interface.
I'm also currently trying Trillian Pro 3 and Firefox 3. I do like Trillian, but Firefox has some issues, that could probably be easily fixed. Other than that, not much else new there.
Anyway, I work in the morning, so that's enough for this post.
G'night,
