and today was indeed spent...

... tweaking the new machine and uninstalling and installing software. Then I began optimizing the machine with Crap Cleaner... swear... its the name of a real freeware program. Don't believe me, huh? Well GO HERE. Nya... I say get it to clean up those unused registry entries that is just bogging down the system! Then I defraged the computer. There is a HD optimization program that is being touted ... but it's $90... so that may have to wait. Right now the new machine is purring like a big satisfied puss and is taking Hi Def video from the camera like a hooker takes the cash before spreading her charms. OK... now that my inner geek has been satiated... I can move on. Oh... did I tell you I have a switchbox that controls both PC's with 1 keyboard and 1 mouse and shares one monitor? OK, OK... promise... no more geek stuff!

There is still more promotional stuff for the upcoming Rogue Year Round show that I had planned to complete today but may not until tomorrow. Actually, there is a lot more in that area that still needs to be done that I don't want to think about at the moment. You are turning up for that... right?

OK... so it's boring mundane stuff in the post today. But on the upside... the sky didn't fall on my head either. I did get out for a bit this afternoon to shoot some video for a mini-doc that I'm doing for an artist friend. Yeah, you'll see it once it's done.

If you want some good reading... go over to Zonthar's as the 5th part (with tons of pics) of his London trip is posted there. Blimey, that was quick between parts... perhaps he knows something about the sky falling that we don't?

Oh, and if you are visiting here from Ottawa... go see Barry Smith's show in the Fringe... it's worth the ticket price... really, it is. You can thank me after you saw it.

Cheers!
