I've certainly grossed anyone out who doesn't care, but maybe that was the point... A brief visit to the gym on Saturday netted me a quick round of weights and a 1-mile run, broken into half by a diaper change while my son was at the gym daycare.
I had to stop in time to shower up and grab the kids before the Kids Klub closed at noon. Holly stayed home and recuperated from her back procedure. Taking the kids was supposed to let her relax a bit, but I sent her to do the impossible -- install Word 97 on her Mom's computer...
That ended up with me rolling through to find that her copy of Word came from the Home Essentials disk that came with her old computer. She needed to write a letter, and apparently OpenOffice.org Writer wasn't familiar enough. That's kind of funny, because I don't even think Word 97 would be any more familiar to me than anything else at this point.
I spent a lot of time installing Windows 7 on some machines, and spare parts that I arranged into "frankenboxes". good times... good times... for some reason, I find that rearranging of old parts that are too slow to do anything other than, well, get rearranged. soothing. Seriously, who would have guessed Windows 7 would install on a AMD Athlon XP 1600+ with 512 MB of RAM? Adding the Geforce FX5200 AGP card just to get Aero is kind of silly, but I did it.
I also got the two 250 GB drives installed in a spare, ugly box, with the 2.30 Celeron, and called it good. 120 days until the Windows Home Server Trial is over, but I'm thinking I'll commit. Streaming movies from it to Xbox 360s is working very well.
