Fun with Windows

The past 12 hours have been an absolute nightmare!  My computer kept locking up and I was always having to reboot it and I was never able to successfully use Windows for more than a few minutes before it locked up again.  I finally decided to use a backup hard drive and installed a copy of Vista on it.  Things are back up and running now, but this hard drive has 130GB less space, so things may get cramped.  Now I can format my original hard drive and use that, but I will be going through all of this work again!  I may do that next weekend, but for right now, I am just going to stick with this.  I still have more software to install, but I want a nap :)

Cheers!

Atonement – EPIC FAIL

I watched Atonement earlier today.  My housemates kept raving about the movie, so I finally sat down and watched it.  Wow, what a piece of crap!  The story was hard to follow with all of the cutbacks to show what had happened after it happened – I was lost.  I don’t know what my friends were smoking when they told me that they liked this movie.  I like wartime films, but this was just horrible.

I want those two hours of my life back!

Cheers!

What is the BIG deal with the Flip?

flip_mino I am still trying to figure out what the BIG deal is with The Flip video camera.  Who in their right mind is going to pay $179.99 for a device that produces crappy video and has no expandable memory?!  I certainly am not going to be swayed to buy junk just because iJustine uses one.

I have a SONY Cybershot DSC-P200 camera that has video mode.  I carry my camera with me just about everywhere and I get better video and can store more of it.  Oh yeah, did I mention that it has a ZEISS lens and 7.2 megapixels?

I really want to know why this little point-and-shoot video only device has everyone wanting one?  Seriously!

Do you own a Flip video camera?  Tell me why you purchased this piece of junk, I am curious about this.

I don’t mean to bash this thing, but $179.99 for low quality video?  My camera only cost around $200 and I can do more with it!

Cheers!
