I had heard that Vista was pretty nifty looking - sort of a la Mac OS X. But I certainly hadn’t noticed any real difference in appearance. But yesterday, our ace chief windows administrator stopped by to help me with a networking issue (networking under Vista Business edition is very very different - that will […]

This post probably falls under TMI but, sometimes being a woman can be a little less than fun. I’ve been in perimenopause for the past two years and up until two months ago, it hasn’t been too bad. However, the rate of change has started to accelerate and is now causing some problems. Fortunately, the […]

Initially I was somewhat psyched over Vista’s Sidebar gadgets (”widgets” to the rest of us). However, unless I’m really missing something, the gadgets are pretty lame. A clock, a calendar which is just a calendar - no integration with Outlook, an RSS feed display that does not integrate with Firefox or Outlook, a photo display […]

Listen to the State of the Union and play the State of the Union Drinking Game (SotUDG) or go skijoring with Tyge. That’s the decision I faced this evening when I got home at 4:55 PM (the state of union started at 5:00 PM AST). Actually, even though this would be the first time in […]

It’s a long story involving my ancient work PC ( 6 years old with a whopping 256 MB of RAM), Ping - my personal laptop, and our document management/retention initiative at work. The short version is that I am now on a single machine: a work supplied very hot dual-core Dell 820 Latitude running Vista […]

Great quip by Mitch Hedburg:
“I wanna hang a map of the world in my house. Then I’m gonna put pins into all the locations that I’ve traveled to. But first, I’m gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map so it won’t fall down.”
That appeals to my map/geocaching funny bone.

Speaking of not not very popular, Tyge is totally in the dog house. Peter made pumpkin bread this afternoon - sort of an aperitif for the Colts-Patriots game. Well, Peter thought he had left the pumpkin bread well defended. But nothing is safe from a pumpkin aroma-crazed Tyge. Tyge batted aside the defensive pans that […]

As I type, we’re in the third quarter of the Patriots-Colts game and the score is 28-21 Patriots. I’m committing a Partnow sacrilege by rooting for the Colts. The Partnow household is of course, a Patriots household. But I can’t help it if I’ve always like the Colts (other than when they skulked out Baltimre…).
Anyhoo, […]

For Christmas, Pooh gave me the first two seasons of The Office. The DVDs were actually on my Christmas list even though I’d never seen an episode and knew virtually nothing about the show other than it was based on the hit British comedy of the same name.
Omigod. I have never in my life watched […]
