it'll be my efforts to get in touch, stay in touch, and/or get back in touch with some of, but not limited to, the following people:
Operation ReTouch:
- Sarah Bland
- Heather Baker
- Emily Pehlke
- Sarah Pehlke

In other really exciting news, tk002 (so named for now), has arrived!
my new computer!
what i'm using to type this right now!
It's a Dell XPS (M1530)
It's Vista, but that couldn't be heped. I'l just ave to learn to live with it. Or perhaps around it, depeding on what loopholes i find in the OS.
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU; 2.40 GHz; 4GB RAM; 32-bit; 285GB harddrive.
Hopefully, this computer wont crash and die like all the ones (and external hardrives) before it.
It's moderately shiny, and black on the outside at least! the inside is silver, which aso cant be helped. It can detect motion and read fingerprints.
Win.
I'm currently working on fleshing out and updating the software on it; i want to be thorough.
Ive given it Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Netscape, and Google's Chrome.
Ive given it Windows Media Player, Media Player Classic, Zoom Player, VLC Player, RealPlayer, and Quicktime.
Ive given it Azureus, and plan to give it other Torrent Clients in the future.
Ive given it Microsoft Office 2007.
Ive given it Textpad.
Ive given it 7 Zip.
I plan to give it Limewire and maybe other P2P Clients.
I plan to give it AIM, YIM, MSN Messenger, Skype, and perhaps other Instant Messangers.
Ive given it McAfee and uptaded Windows Defender, but im not really satisfied with just those and am investigating TrendMicro, Spybot S&D, and some other programs.
Im working to integrate it as fully as possible with Google desktop and Google's other harddrive-side applications, as well as similar plug-ins from Wikipedia and Del.icio.us.
Once i have (cheap) access to them again, I'm going to try and re-obtain all of Adobe's wonderful Photoshop, Dreamweaver, ColdFusion, Flash, Illustrator, and so on, as well as Visual Studio.
Ive given it Windows Movie Maker, but will require something better at some point.
The only area Im completely lacking is a good package to work with audio clips, as well as audio file type conversions. I dont know any.
Finally, Ive given it the CCCP, which, for now, contains all video and audio codecs i feel i might need.
Anyway, now that ive bored everyone, i'll take my leave.
Later Turkeys!

freakin...office 2007..why would you perform such an act? that's the worst version of office yet. i'm sorry that you have to run vista on your computer. is XP even for sale anywhere?
vista and office 07 were both unavoidable tradgedies.
i love emily pehlke with all my heart
you know her? lol thats random.
but yeah shes one of my favorite people!
tho, i dont know if shes know that..
i only really knew her through her sister and its been a year or two since ive seen either.
it makes me very sad. :(

boring? that wasn't boring at all!!
*nervous chuckle as I show my computer geekiness to all the world*
AVG antivirus is pretty good, it's what we give everyone at school. and it's free. i'd also say it's hard to beat windows defender (despite the fact that it's from windows)
visual studio...yes...i need to download that....
i made your list!! i didn't know we were out of touch...but ok!
hey! i totally specified that the list could also include people with whom i wanted to stay in touch.

oh...did you? huh. i've been noticing less and less of the world around me lately...it's kind of sad.
oh hey, on a differnet note, anything i forgot? in my list of stuff for my computer, anything youd recommend? aside from the aforementioned avg?
aanndd... dont worry about not noticing the world so much. it should be temporary, and regardless, the worlds going to keep noticing you, so when you make it back, it'll be like "o hai. iz missed yous, but is kay. i remember where we left off! here, has my cheezeburger."

let's see, do you have updated adobe reader and flash player? i don't know if vista comes with them automatically. and I would add python and eclipse (for java) myself, but i know those programming languages are of lesser importance to you. aside from that, it sounds like you've got it all and more! i'd love to have the creative suite *jealousy*
NO must add them! there is no lesser programming language!
hey.. and i dont have the creative suite yet, so dont be jealous. i may net even be able to acquire it. :\
i have updated my flash player, but (oh noes!) not adobe reader! gotta get on that.

it's always fun when you forget to get the reader and you go to open a pdf and your computer won't open it and you're like "wtf? what's wrong? it's just a pdf!" and then you feel stupid.
ok...that might just be me :)
oh, no, no. i understand.
i feel the same way with zipped files.. when im on a computer and ive got something zipped ad i go to decompress it and its like, 'huh?'
i forget everything doesnt have winzip or 7-zip or something ^^
knowing you, if youre wondering why you arent on my list, theres a good reason for it, really!
i actually thought about this before i posted it.
theres alot of different ways of keeping in touch with people, and facebook just isnt how i wanna go about it for some people, like you or treni!
ill be installing AIM on my new computer,and i expect to see you on there! :) |
