Busy – Bored – Busy Again

The one thing I hate the most about reformatting my computer is the fact that I have to spend countless hours reinstalling everything I need to use on a daily basis. Thankfully everything of importance is already on the external so it’s not like any files were lost. All of my email reads off the external as well, it’s easier to run Thunderbird on two computers considering I really don’t know which computer I’m using until I happen to need to get online for something. Now that my laptop is back up to the speed of where it was when I first got it, however, I think I’ll be on it a little bit more than the desktop anyway.

I’m waiting, ever so patiently, for the 78 windows updates to process. These are 78 after the 15 I installed not even an hour ago. I figured this was going to be the most time consuming part of my day, it’s just a pain in the ass. I know that importance of having security updates but what I don’t understand is why there needs to be thousands of files to be updated. Why can’t there be the most recent update that works for all of the previous updates? Don’t mind me, I really just can’t stand waiting for things that I have no control over. But yea, as you can see by the screen shot, there’s quite a bit of a wait left. [edit = another 4 are downloading now that I’ve rebooted – unreal]

So I guess I should get some things done around the house. I have a few posts to do as well. I’ve kind of been neglecting curvy-chick.net, I should get some things done for that too.
