Another new laptop, another new desktop

An excellent sale at Office Depot. So I bought another new laptop and another new desktop.   I figured it is good to start the new year off with brand new computers.   The desktop is for business use, and the laptop will be for development.   I got the rebate paperwork in the mail right away.  Will take me a few days to get them both sorted out and install new software.

Snow Bound

Well, my plans to daily blog have not been implemented.  My excuse is that I am snow bound and that makes it hard to get anything accomplished.  At least that is the primary excuse in my mind.  Snow and ice cover all the trails, and that makes it difficult to use the trails.  I can put spikes on the bottom of my shoes, but it impairs my walking stride, so that doesn’t seem to work.  I will probably walk at the Mall later today.

I really want to attend the ServerSide Software Symposium in Las Vegas in March!  I think it would be great fun, but it doesn’t look like I will be able to attend.  It has been quite a few years since I was in Las Vegas, but maybe next time.

a New Year, a new laptop, a new version of Eclipse

Well, today is Monday, January 3rd, 2011.   I have been wanting to start the practice of regular blogging, and today is a good day to start.  Over this past weekend, I got rid of two old laptops and one old desktops.  I cleaned off the hard drive on all of them and donated them to Goodwill. 

And I bought a brand new laptop. So far, I am quite happy with my new Windows 7 laptop, which was quite a surprise!  And of course, the best place to start with a new laptop is to install a new version of Eclipse.  So far I like the features of Eclipse Helios (3.6.1) too.   

My plan for this blog is to make it mostly about technical topics, and to a smaller degree about business topics, followed by personal development topics.
