The Holtonian

weekend

Well, I can't tell you how many times I've written an entry only to have it wiped out by either the computer, internet, or some random malfunction. I had a huge entry and it was all gone when my ADD kicked in, I reached down to adjust a usb thing and the computer restarted itself... classic.

Basically here's the gist of what I had written...
Good weekend, but quick. Friday played games with Strows. Saturday went to work for some Overtime, then worked out with wife. Wife babysat in the morning and at night (I joined her). We watched Wimbledon. Good movie for a chick flick. I grew up watching the Wimbledons, French Opens, and US Opens and felt the movie had a good emotive tennis feel to it. I mean it didn't have the emotion of an Agassi Sampras match but it was good. The chick from Spiderman though was annoying, I find her generally annoying in anything she does though.

The roes came up and we gamed all day today. The guys won spades two games to one but all three games were hard fought. We started to watch Oceans 12 but blockbusta gave the roes a crappy copy and we had to abandon watching it.

Roe fixed my usb 2.0 ports. The wrong drivers were set up and I couldn't tell but he could right off. Though unfortunately some stuff won't work on the new usb's like my cd-rw which i was hoping would boost its speed for burning things but alas its stuck on the 1.0 port.

While tinkering with the computer I noticed I had about only 4 gigs left on my hardrive so I've been working all night to free up some space. One thing that has freed up a lot of space is deleting the numerous mp3 programs i had. Going from I river to MD player, to I pod i had a lot of extra programs and extra versions of songs for each player. So I deleted tons of songs but found I tunes was sort of discriminating against songs burned with Media Player. So i sort of scrapped a lot of my music library that i had burned from my cds and am sort of starting over in a sense. Its not a huge deal b/c now I'm just dumping all my cds instead of a song here and a song there. But I will still need a new computer soon. Though I'll probably go the pc route so I can keep a lot of my stuff such as files and parts of my old comp.

so good weekend over all. the end
