Today I really want to point out this blog where I found the solution to making an USB memory stick bootable from Windows Vista. I used this method to be able to install Windows 7 on my Asus EEE PC1000H, and although I had to do something slightly different in the BIOS (I think it was) if you can work these steps out you should be computer literate enough to figure out what’s wrong if it doesn’t work for you. That’s what I did anyway.
Also I want to thank my friends Jannicke and Nisse for an amazing evening last night! I’ve only had burritos once before, and that didn’t really leave it tempting to try again. Jannicke’s burritos however…. wow! Add to this the amazingly good conversation around the dinner table (and the stove during preparation), their adorable daughter, and the great mood for the night, and you have yourself one helluva evening – even with non-alcoholic beer! Oh and thanks also for “showing me the way” by introducing me to the Black Books, that’s just hysterical! Even the strawberries I brought that turned out to have tennants in them and mold on the outside actually turned out to be more of an interesting story than someting discusting (I’m glad we noticed before we started eating them!)
Today I got some help from my buddy Mac to get the Beast rolling – it is due for a checkup tomorrow morning, and right this morning it didn’t even start, the bloody thing. Now it is though, going to take it for a long ride and then it’ll probably behave nicely in the morning. Later in the afternoon I can either take the dogs for a nice long walk, or maybe go for a trip on my own. Bringing the dogs would probably be a good idea. Maybe a hiking trip in the woods could be a nice change for them?
Tonight I’m heading to bed early – the last couple of nights have been really way too late, and I want to get the most out of the day tomorrow. I’ve made a checklist for myself in my planner to make sure I get everything done. Neat. And withjust a little bit of luck, I’ll have someone over on Tuesday to pick up the Beast – and right now it doesn’t even feel sad anymore, really – just relieving. Guess it means I’m done with the grieving process, huh?
