Computer update.
So yeah, finally all done with computer upgrade stuff. I updated my 3-4 year old BIOS to the newest version (From A02 to A06), formatted my hard drive, and replaced the original XP Home install with an XP Pro install stripped of about 200MB of bloat via nLite. Runs MUCH faster now. I also installed the new SP3, which just went public yesterday. It seems to boot faster, but then again, could be all the other stuff I did. I partitioned the drive from a single 40GB to 3 12GB partitions and a 4GB backup partition (all my files are on a 320GB secondary). I’m about to install Ubuntu Linux on one partition and maybe OS X on another, just for nerd factor of being able to boot three OS’s.
If anyone downtown knows of a place to get a freakin’ hair cut, let me know. I don’t really want to spend $50 at Gould’s or something, but I don’t want a $7 SuperCuts haircut either. $20-30 for a haircut seems ok with me. I tried to go to a place on front at the Falls Building, but it’s actually in an alley beside the building, and when I walked by at like 2pm a Wednesday, the blinds were all drawn and the door was locked. It can’t be that goddamn hard to find a hair stylist in downtown Memphis…
