vista update

[rubah]

Alright, I guess the honey-moon is over now! In the process of trying to get my system to realize that autocad was not actually installed on my computer, I kinda deleted a slew of registry entries, so I had to reinstall vista, and i really should've added more diskspace to that, but whatev. Anyways, it took me ALL DAY to get autocad to install. ARRRRRRRGH I was planning on having it installed oh about five hours ago. (instead of one hour ago). I eventually got electrical 2008 to install after 2009 failed in the middle and MEP2009 failed to download. Argh.

So yeah, vista is pretty terrible with things like moving files or zipping, so I grabbed 7-zip and that helped out a little bit. But I have autocad now! Now i can become awesome and don't have to go to the ME computer lab all the time to work on this stuff! Aaaaaaaaaaaaah.

But yeah, vista is having trouble agreeing with my tablet, and cad with a trackpad is all kinds of difficult (namely because there's no easy way to pan besides zooming in and back out over and over, but I've had to do that before, so I can manage until I figure out why the drivers which everysite in the world says are compatible with vista claim I don't have a pointing device attached. I have my cd at home, so maybe I can get that this week-end.)

Okay actually, I kept googling 'graphire3 vista driver'. But I don't have a graphire anymore. This one is an intuos3. *slaps head*

Anyways. stu and mike and I went to a vietnamese place on 6th street called Pho Qu'yen or something and had some vietnamese food for the first time in my life. I also had bubble tea :D It was almond and soooooooooooooooo delicious. The tapioca bubbles were so weird and funny xD I ate them all and my belly is like *jellyrumbles*.

I'm not sure if I really like vietnamese food, but it was pretty good as a one-time thing at least. I'd have to experiment around a bit with different things I think. I definitely want more almond bubble tea.

If all I could eat in life was pistachio-almond ice cream, all I could drank almond bubble tea, and then maybe saltine crackers and water, I think I could be happy.
(saltines and water so I could reset my palate and be able to continue tasting the nutty goodness).

heck, i'd eat pistachios too.

No it isn't?


I've never had any issues with moving files or zipping files, at least. :p

The longer you spend unzipping a file, the timer is supposed to count down, not up. I started with 2gb estimated at 15 minutes and gave up when it got to 24 minutes. Then I downloaded 7zip and got it done in 6:p

I've never had that problem before. D:

That is because you are a stupid idiot who is content with inferior methods and does not pay attention to streamlining efficiency. Just because you can get the same result does not mean a long, retarded, and convoluted road is the way to go. Vista is pretty, Vista sucks, and this is how it is.

And get [7-Zip] now if you have not already.

Wow, way to throw insults at people you don't even know!

Vista is fine. I've had no problems with it, and I like it. Take your elitist verbal excrement elsewhere please.

Your ignorance of whom you speak with does not carry over to me; I am well aware of whom I address and I perceive I address an imbecile.

Again, Vista works fine for fools willing to put up with it. It has plenty of faults in need of remedying, including the issue focused in our dear Allie's journal entry. I am disappointed you seem to think so well of the operating system so as to defend it.

What did you have? Disliking Pho, by the way, is illegal and also incredibly sinful and wrong.

bun I think? it was long white noodles with shrimp and little sections of egg roll with a carrot sauce on the side.

I had the same thing just with shredded pork instead of shrimp. I think it would've been better if the whole bowl would've been about lukewarm instead of cold. The best part was eating the bit of egg roll and having it warm my mouth up.
