Many Weird Problems Recede

I have noticed that since aquiring a new laptop, many of the weird problems I had attributed to Vista on my old laptop have not reared their ugly heads on my new laptop. The fact that Adobe Illustrator would always fail to start the first time it ran (and sometimes every time until I rebooted). The fact that the adobe file dialog didn't work at all. The super slow shutting down of my computer. These things are much happier now. Of course there are new and exciting problems: My bluetooth headset gets grumpy if it's not turned on when you boot up the computer, and you try and turn it on after the computer has booted. Buy hey, at least it works most of the time. Without SP1 it didn't work at all.

So far I am impressed with this Vaio. It is nice. And has a pretty screen.

APC Battery

Yay, my new APC battery arrived today in time for my trip. Hoorah! I don't have to go buy another one from Circuit City! I charged it up, and it works! Yay! Now all I have to do is send the old one back. They gave me a prepaid label, so all I have to do is drop it in a box, and send it off. Go APC customer support! Major points for you for shipping me a replacement overnight!

Git is the best

I just discovered that I have been committing my changes to the mls project to the wrong branch. Ugh!! But git to the rescue! I can switch to the correct branch, and cherry pick the correct revisions onto the master branch. Ha-ha! I wield my git at you stupidity! All better now, and it didn't even take that long to fix.
