The D Rules » Wednesday Quickie http://the-d-rules.com SO AWESOME YOU WANT TO PUKE!

It has an 80 gig HD and is 4 years old. And has a busted hinge so it’s very difficult to take anywhere. I keep thinking the hinge is going to break right off.

The hard drive is the one giving me the issues. It’s constantly telling me that it’s full. So I check out the properties and sho nuff it’s totally packed. So I buy a  T1 external HD for like 65 bucks from Microcenter. Copy all my pics, videos, music, and all that jazz.

But it’s still giving me the message. So then I removed all the programs that I don’t need. That didn’t help either, still getting the Full Hard Drive message (that’s what she said).

So I figure I have 4 choices, each with it’s own pros and cons.

  1. Buy a new lap top. I already have every thing that I would want to keep on the new T1 HD. I have one picked out that’s gonna cost me $450.00. This would be the easiest to do.
  2. Transfer EVERYTHING to the T1 external drive and use that as the C drive (currently its designation is drive F) But all that does is just give me more storage space. It doesn’t upgrade anything (did I mention its 4 years old with a busted hinge?) Plus I googled how to do that, and it’s WAY above my knowledge of computers.
  3. Dump the whole laptop idea and go back to the standard PC which I still have but would need to be upgraded. New monitor, tower everything. This would cost the most.
  4. Ditch the laptop, get an Ipad2. I would still upgrade the PC but I wouldn’t get a new monitor or any other peripherals like printer, keyboard. An ipad2 is would cost $500-$600 bucks depending on which gig I were to get.

The cheapest option would be for one of you experts to tell me what files are safe to delete off of the existing laptop.

So that’s the sit. If you were me what would you do. Besides hide in the corner in the fetal position crying your self to sleep. cuz I never to that, umm no not at all.

Very truely Yours,

The D

I’ve been workin’ my arse off this week as my tweeter followers know, and I mentioned in an earlier post. This week has been no difference. I worked from 8am-9pm Monday night and 8am-11pm Tuesday night.

But I finished the project Wednesday morning! YAY! I’m leaving at 5 today to kick the shit out of a treadmill. Then I’m coming home taking a shower, eating dinner, then catching up on tv or may be I’ll do some writing, I don’t know.

Some Random stuff:

  • Should I have not used the phrase “My name is Lennaaaayyy and I got’s plentaaayyyy!” in an email to the PM of the project I just finished?
  • I need a hair cut, like really soon!
  • Fantasy football leagues are starting to ramp up. This year I have the 5th pick. Any ideas who I should take for my first pick?

To Yo Motha! http://the-d-rules.com/word-to-yo-motha/ http://the-d-rules.com/word-to-yo-motha/#comments Wed, 05 Dec 2007 19:37:00 +0000 The D http://the-d-rules.com/word-to-yo-motha/ Merriam-Webster is holding it’s traditional (2nd year) Word Of The Year competition. Last year, the word “truthiness” won with an astonishingly huge (no homo) margin of victory of 5 to 1. But last year it was a free for all. This year they limited your votes to only 20 candidates.

Voting closes on Friday 12-7.

Your choices are:
apathetic, babymoon, blamestorming, charlatan, conundrum, cruft, eleemosynary, facebook, hypocrite, linkability, melancholy, pecksniffian, pretentious, pugnacious, quixotic, sardoodledom, sputum, subpoena, vanity sizing, and, w00t

I’m going to vote for whom ever can make a sentence out of one of these words and make it sound dirty.
