I can see clearly now
May 20th
So like yesterday was another one of those strange days where the forces of nature were on my side. But yeah, it was a good day.
Ended up fixing a certain someone’s computer. Brought back memories. Though interestingly, it was the first time I was quarantining a Windows machine that wasn’t running on XP and to be honest, it was A LOT easier. Maybe the virus/malware wasn’t as malicious or perhaps it was UAC? Nevertheless I was thinking in my head “sigh, should just get a mac” 
I kid, I kid.
But yeah, it was surprisingly easy. Boot into safe mode, do some scans and cleanups, boot into normal windows, uninstall crap, do some more cleaning and voila, problem fixed. Also posted a hijackThis log to a tech support forum for the uber geeks to rummage through.
Yes, any who my plans from now till the weekend ends will be to install my ssd into my macbook.
So, tonight I will try and migrate my SSD to another HDD and then remove the SSD. Yup, sweet.
Tomorrow I will grab a dock off a friend and format my SSD to be MAC OS X compatible and then carbon copy my OS X partition to the SSD.
Then I will try and remove the HDD and put in the SSD. Simple! It will add 30minutes or so the battery life and make everything load faster. Seriously, loading word/excel/powerpoint documents is excruciatingly slow. Well it’s not that bad, but considering it takes less than a second on my PC it’s pretty painfully slow.
Once the SSD is installed my macbook will officially be better than my PC in every single way. Kinda depressing, kinda amazing.
On Saturday I’ll be going doing a soup kitchen thingo, which should be interesting. I’m such a good samaritan yes?
And on Sunday I’ll probably lounge around on my butt doing nothing.
So yeah…that’s more or less it.
I’m still in awe every time I put on my glasses, it’s like “whoa, holy shit that’s amazing!” Still not planning on wearing it consistently though, just wearing it during lectures, driving and at night when I feel like I should see people’s faces clearer.
Any who gotta go. Might blog later if something interesting happes ;p
Was originally going to be a tweet
Mar 9th
So this was originally going to be a tweet/fb update. But then I thought…”This is going to be so embarrassing”. And then I thought “Wait…why would it be embarrassing?”. After couple of seconds I was like “Yeah…I’m not going to tweet this…”. So I’m going to blog about it instead. Yay!
Here are my reasons for blogging
- Because only those who give a crap will read this
- It’s prob too long to fit in a tweet
Sorry for hyping this…but it’s really not that exciting.
Well…I just bought a Macbook.
I’ve been saving money for as long as I can remember. Initially my pocket money was $5 every fortnight. This started when I was in Year 3? So it basically took me a whole year to save up a measly $100. I remember for Christmas I went to buy my OWN present. I spent more than half of the money on a lego set. It was a pretty cool lego set. It’s similar to one of those laser space planes in Star Wars. The ones that go “pew pew”. Later I bought a yo-yo at Hungry Jacks for $2. (Don’t judge me, it was during the yo-yo craze and I was too cheap to buy those crazy $15 flashy yo-yos)
Anyway, so eventually it became $5/week to $10/week and by the end of Year 12 I was getting around $100/week but $50 went to Mr Gu…and the majority of the other $50 went to food. After that I got a job so that made saving even easier. Don’t get me wrong I’m not a miser that just dumps cash in a bank and get excited each time the numbers go up, I would spend it but usually on “small” luxuries (one quick look into my bookshelf and you will shake your head in disappointment) *cough*$100 Linkin Park Album*cough*.
So my point is, over the past couple of years I’ve saved up quite a bit. Generally around $200 a week, consistently for 2 years…you do the maths.
So tonight I was staring at the Apple site and then loaded up Netbank and I said “Fuck it”. I wasn’t saving up for anything in particular but it’s nice knowing that if I do want to buy a house or perhaps put in money for a home I could…not that I’m planning on doing either anytime soon.
So I spent $1.4k on a macbook and got a 8gb ipod touch so I can get the $268 rebate. I’ll probably sell the ipod touch pretty quickly, my guess is they’re probably trying to get rid of all the ipod products to make way for the new range this year.
It’s so easy spending money on other people. When it comes to presents I’ve spent up to $100 on more than one occasion. It’s not that I’m generous or have money to burn, I guess I take pleasure in getting someone something they enjoy rather than something crappy, though this usually only happens with close friends. However, with the rush of 21sts I tend to just chip in for a big gift.
So yes, that’s my story, I save a lot and I bought a Macbook.
Will probably blog about my Mac experience once it arrives.
