Yippie!

Since everyone else is asleep I figured it would be a good time to pop online and check my email. Based on the one I received from HP, my laptop is on it’s way back to me! Thankfully, by this afternoon, I’ll be back into the swing of things.

I can finally get some work done. I have a lot of proposals to look through, a couple to write up and a few hosting accounts to setup that I couldn’t do from this computer. It’s hard to setup reseller accounts when you don’t have access to the right programs. I like to see proposals building up, it’s a good feeling knowing that I’ve got a heap of work coming my way.

It’s my goal in a few months to get a new desktop. I’m not going to go crazy on the modifications because it would really only be used as a back up. So I have no intent of getting anything more than a gig of ram, fairly new processor, 80gig hard drive and only a 128mb video card. I can get a system like that for under $500 so I’m definitely not complaining. Hell, I was even considering an E-Machine just for kicks, but I won’t stoop to that level, I’ll stick to HP/Compaq.

I’m still waiting for FreePay to process my digital camera form. It’s been two weeks so I’m to a point now of just being annoyed by it. I’m going to give it until Friday and then if nothing changes I’m going to email them and ask what the hold-up is about. After talking to Jackie (the only REAL photographer in the personal site world, not the point-n-shoot cam shit that everyone does) I’m going to get the Olympus, it’s more like an SLR which is exactly what I was looking for, the stats on it are also a lot better than I’d originally thought. It’s the 8 mega pixel, the Fuji is the 9 mega pixel but considering the bulk of the images will never be larger than 1024×768 – I really don’t think there’s going to be a difference. So I’m certainly anticipating this one. I know that Alicia wanted professional looking engagement images so hopefully this cam gets here before they get married in November 2007, yea…that’s just how long FreePay seems to take these days heh.

In any event, it’s about 1am and I know that I need to be up in 7 hours so I’m going to head off and get some sleep. I guess the ‘hiatus’ message just wasn’t needed at all, I honestly didn’t think I’d have any time out here where I’m not dealing with the rest of the family breathing down my neck. I’m definitely on hiatus from WORK but thankfully that will change after FedEx gets here tomorrow afternoon – yay!

Night all.
