My apologies in advance if the first paragraph is too technically geeky for some….
Don’t you hate it when a single purchase decision forces a number of other decisions down a path that you don’t want to go? I’ve determined that the processor I bought to resuscitate a “dumpster computer” has driven me down a path that is less flexible than I had hoped. Originally I had bought the processor to use with the the original motherboard … then I figured out that Intel had handicapped the motherboard so the processor I bought wouldn’t work. Time to buy new motherboard. New motherboard required new memory. The system is up and running, but I’ve discovered I can’t virtualize quite as nicely as I had wanted to. Namely, I can’t run unmodified OSes without a performance hit. More research will need to be done to determine how much of a problem, if any that will be. In retrospect, I wish I had just started from scratch or at least known that the first motherboard was handicapped.
In some ways, this past month has been a blur. I haven’t been feeling 100% for most of it, particularly since the Super Bowl. Days have pretty much fallen into the routine of get up, get ready and go to work. Work usually involves at least 2 meetings each day, though Fridays and Wednesdays may vary. Come home and provide Liz relief from the kids until they’re in bed. Most of the time we can get dinner squeezed in there somehow. After that we clean up, maybe watch TV, maybe discuss some issue and then head to bed. Warren has been waking up once or twice a night. Laura has been waking up once in a while now too since she appears to have some molars coming in. This means 2-3 interruptions in sleep each night. Thankfully last night Liz was able to stay up with Warren when he decided he didn’t want to go back to bed after his 11 o’clock feeding.
Don’t have much more to say … Liz is out with her girls for her monthly day out. She had a scrapbooking day last Sunday. I’m taking Wednesday off work so I get that day mostly to myself, but have church stuff to do that evening. I am also hoping to get a friend to go to the Science Museum with me before OmniFest ends, but that doesn’t seem to be working out at this point either. :( So frustrating.
