I know ultrabooks are the next big thing and tablets are the thing now… but, I love my desktop replacement. Two years later and this laptop out performs almost anything out there and has a righteous set of speakers.
Although… about 3 hour battery life on a 9 cell battery *kind* of sucks. But, longevity is good. Still hoping to pick up a coffee table tablet though.
If there were a musical score of my life…today would have been nothing but Good Vibrations over and over again. Well, at least the chorus anyway.
Finals are done! I have a whole four days off before summer classes…lol. There was/is one class I barely had an A in…but completely NAILING my semester final project helped considerably…so, unless I made below a 75 on my final I made a 4.0 for the semester.
I haven’t said anything but the past week or two was pretty rough… but, I did what needed to be done…and now things are back to normal… not just because of school but that helped too.
I don’t like it.
Now, my slightly more elaborate thoughts. There are numerous cloud backup solutions out there: DropBox, SugarSync, Skydrive and now Google Drive. Personally, like I’ve posted before, nothing beats sugarsync for my needs.
What drew me to try Drive was Google Docs integration…but so far it’s fallen way short. Native office editing doesn’t exist (I don’t know if that’s some licensing problem or what…but it’s a huge disappointment) I want my Google Docs files actually synced… I want a copy on each device…not just in the cloud. Also, selecting the files I want to share with specific devices is a near impossibility as well.
But, the main reason I won’t be using it (at this time) is the same reason why I don’t use dropbox, or itunes, or anything with a library.
I love a nice folder structure…I’m meticulous about how my folders and documents are arranged because some of them date back a decade…if I didn’t have such an organizational method this would have be chaos.
I’m hesitant to speak prematurely… but is it possible we’ve just now gotten our spring rain? You know, the light calming showers and distant rumbling thunder instead of vicious tornadoes and flash floods. There was pretty bad fog, but hey, as long as I’m not driving it’s beautiful. Nothing better than sitting by the river, sipping coffee and watching a barge go by to start the day
Oh yeah, Happy May Day folks… Let the Pagans and Workers of the world celebrate in harmony ;)
You’ll have to excuse the quality of the picture but here’s my new solid cherry entertainment cabinet. Hey, wait… so, considering I have cherry endtables and a coffee table…does this mean I have a matching living room suite now? That’s never happened.
As you can tell, I don’t exactly have enough new stuff to fill it yet…but, isn’t that the fun part about moving/building/growing? Give it some time and I’m sure I’ll be running out of room once more.
I really really like it though. The coolest part about it is the light behind the center glass doors… This is the first time, well, in my life I haven’t had a entertainment center that’s on life support. Feels good!
Another reason why I prefer SugarSync to DropBox: I have the “My Games” directory synced on both my Laptop and Desktop… So, I can be out, play a few minutes of Skyrim and pick right back up when I get home
Pretty neat
Pretty sure I’m about ready to invest in two SNES and N64 USB controllers shortly…just trying to find one that has decent reviews. My friends keep giving me grief because I sold my PS3 and Xbox360. Sorry that I didn’t feel like paying $60+ a game.
But, hey, GoldenEye at my place?
Lessons Learned: Despite 8GB of ram in my laptop…disabling the pagefile was still a bad idea. Yay system instability!
Wait, Wait Don’t Tell and the Thistle and Shamrock make my Saturday.
