My current to-do list:

  • upload new layout
  • create book blog (will give me a reason to use the MTAmazon plugin and I’ve been wanting a better way of tracking what I’ve read)
  • create link blog (thanks to zalary for the concept..it’s a great way to keep good links referenced in one place)
  • work on layout for new photo gallery
  • finish uploading pics into new photo gallery
  • finish rose skin
  • implement glue plugin (will go with new layout)
  • add smilies to MT (using macros plugin)

Can’t think of anything else I need to do right now but that is enough

Harry Potter question

Monday, October 14th, 2002

I’ve finally finished Harry Potter. Just in time to start reading the second book before the movie comes out next month.

I have a question for all you Harry Potter fanatics. How did Hermione become a witch if both her parents are muggles? Where did she get her powers from?

Salem Vixens

Saturday, October 12th, 2002

I’ve been approved and the site is up. I just need to do a summary of each of the vixens. If you watch the show and would like to contribute information for the summary of Kate Roberts, Sami Brady or Nicole Walker, please send it along. I think the site will go up and when I complete the summary info, I will add it to the site.

Als, if you have a site and would like to be affiliated with Salem Vixens, send me a note.

Geocaching

Thursday, October 10th, 2002

We’ve somewhat gotten into geocaching. It is so fun. We have always loved exploring and hiking. Now we have a great fun way to do what we love. We don’t have a gps, but I’m considering running out to Circuit City and getting one I saw there last weekend.

There aren’t many caches in our area but we found some that are less than 100 miles away. Of course we travel to Florida and Texas often so I looked up some in those areas as well. We’ve only done one cache so far but I’m ready to go do another very soon.

Computer Woes II

Tuesday, October 1st, 2002

Well, since I’ve been having issues with my computer and installing WinXP and Linux, I have backed up all my data to CD. It took 6 cds for all my mp3s. then 3 other cds for the rest of my stuff. The hubby wants to backup his stuff, then I’m redoing the hard drive completely! Well, maybe. I have to try one more thing before I scrap it totally, to see if I can boot into Linux. If that doesn’t work, then I will scrap the whole thing. I may end up doing that anyway.

I’m thinking of getting Partition Magic to do the repartitioning and re-formatting. I’ve heard great things about it, so I will take the plunge and use it. Has anyone used the boot loader that comes with it? If so, would you recommend it or some other boot loader?

I’m thinking of just using the Windows bootloader and adding the option to boot Linux with it. That seems the easiest way to go.
