I don’t think I’ve every written and entry this late (early?) before.
A friend was in #13thHour recently and talking about Litestep. Now litestep is an alternative shell for the win32 operating system. I tried it back in 1999 when I was here in Philadelphia for the summer. It was a nightmare to set up, Myk helped me (that was the summer we first met, were both dating other people at the time). And it was unstable. I kept it on my box but didn’t use it really because it was too much of a hassle, windows had too many problems as it was %) Well, he claimed it was more stable now, so Myk installed it and it looked pretty neat.
This morning I decided to wander into windows and try it out. I was really impressed with the install… it was seriously as easy as *click click click* No registry files to edit or anything! Kept my hands all clean, hehe. I was quite impressed with it once I got it running too, there are lots of cool themes. I even found a few that offer real transparency (screenshot here – sorry about the ads, it’s an angelfire site, I couldn’t wait to get access to my webserver ;)). This won’t make me spend more time in Windows of course, I’m still not a fan of it, but it definately will make being in windows a little less painful. Oh and it won’t hurt to show it off at the occasional lan party, hehe.
This afternoon we decided to go out and get a coffee maker. We decided on this one and we were able to pick it up at sears (which was a pleasant experience, unlike some other times). It was expensive, but our bit of research showed that it was pretty nice %) I don’t want to have another cheap one that breaks and spills coffee all over the kitchen on a monday morning! Hehe.
Went grocery shopping after we got the coffee maker. We discovered boca pizza. It has fake sausage and fake pepperoni on it, yay soy, along with lots of veggies. I’m looking forward to trying it, maybe for lunch tommorrow. Exciting huh?
I am going to bed now, it’s late. *wanders off*
