Finally I installed Adobe Illustrator on my desktop. I also installed Second Life, my Office 2007, with my one note. My Gimp and TweetDeck all seem to be ok. I installed my Zune software today, might be me, can’t seem to sign into my account…heck I don’t really need to anyway.

Here are some pictures of the programs that I have installed and running on my desktop:

Gimp

MyScribe

Adobe Illustrator

I hope to install my Visio 2007 and Adobe Photoshop tomorrow.

Today I am on a mission to complete this essay, knowing how I am though I tend to do other things while writing. That helps me however to get my thinking cap on and then I could write to my heart’s content. By that way, I got an A last week, way to go procrastination!!! So today I am going to take another shot at it…o.O it won’t hurt to, plus I am getting a rush of ideas as I am typing this.

I promised last week on my other blog that I would give an idea of what I wrote last week. Since my degree is in Technology I found it best to write on the history of the computer. Hint: my research paper is going to be about technology. It is such a broad topic and I could go to any avenue that I want, and get 10 pages out of it. It is already week three so I need to continue finding more info for my paper. Today the essay is a problem solving essay and I have just the right problem for solving.  I will give an idea about it next week.

So far I am liking what I am doing, not interested in a traditional school setting since I hardly have time on my hands, Online school was my best option. I love Devry, hey even though Florida A&M University (FAMU) and Florida State University (FSU)  are close by…oh and do not forget Tallahassee Community College (TCC)…I do not have the slightest inclination to drive through traffic to go to school. Maybe that is laziness, call it what you want.  I feel though a sense of discipline, doing my online classes, no rushing, but you do have to complete the courses within the required 8 week period and you have to submit discussions every week (3 times a week) and they have to make sense to the professor to get a good grade. There is a lot of reading with online courses but I feel at ease, you know that little find option in Adobe? It comes in handy.

They just converted from Adobe though to MyScribe, I like it better than Adobe, it keeps all of your books regardless of how long ago you had it and you could use it on any computer. Adobe had a DRM restriction and it was hard to keep some of my eBooks I downloaded since ‘07. Which kind of sucks because I could at least have those books to go back to later when I wanted some information on a particular topic. Ah well so be it, Google is there for a reason.

Now that I have typed to my hearts content now is the time for me to go and type 1 1/2 pages of words for my essay.

I went over to Vista for a few hours to get my information from my Photoshop and illustrator. I came across this neat program called TweetDeck and yes I am a fan of Twitter ever since I found out about it while reading an article a few months ago. The layout is pretty kool, maybe because it is black hehe (I have a think for black). I got everything on my external and I am back Windows 7 I tried installing TweetDeck but there is a glitch in Adobe Air and Windows 7. I will look it up online to see if anyone else has had that problem, and I will get it fixed. Microsoft is trying to integrate the Windows live programs with windows so they took away a lot of programs that were usually preinstalled like windows mail on Vista. So I had to download Windows Live Essentials. Now I am using the Live writer to write this entry. Maybe that is why wordpress is so cool, you could access it from a few programs without having to use the browser.

Ok I have to get Kareem from after school. Later.

P.S. Here is a video I love!

So I have been trying windows 7 now, I only went on vista to get some files that I needed. Wanted to share with you some pics. Enjoy!

Its been three days since I’ve downloaded and installed Windows 7 and man I have not been on the vista side of things since then. I had only one blue screen while installing adobe reader 8.1, but that was only minor a few more people have experienced the same thing. My finger print reader is installing but for some reason reading as unavailable, maybe I have become to reliant on it that I want to do everything with just a swipe of my finger. I will figure it out. I have yet to install Adobe photoshop, illustrator, acrobat and a whole host of other software. I did type my essay using the office 2007 I installed. I am liking it so much. That is the best beta they ever let out and it is better than vista too. Quite quite stable. SO I’M A PC!!!

I submitted my assignment at the last minute last night, I have my research paper sorted and I am doing just what the Professor suggested writing about the same topic using the different methods. The good thing about that is you are completing at least half of the paper. I love the easy way out! I also love school!

Just a thought, maybe that is why I do not have many close friends who are near by, and I do not go clubbing and to parties. People who consider themselves friends are why I don’t do those things. See friends go crazy on you after some time. They actually get jealous of you, and they feel protective of success that they feel its for them alone. Funny huh, they smile infront of you and behind your back they are back stabbing you so many times its a wonder you are still alive. If you wake up and realize how malicous they are, they get on the defensive and start dragging your name through the mud, even though you do not give a rat’s arse about them.

You are no friend at all when all you do is sit and talk about people, when you feel jealous of your "friend’s" success instead of feeling happy, and leaving them high and dry when they are in need, or you stop talking to them without even giving a reason. I would think as you get older you get wiser and you choose wisely, and you walk carefully, some of us however are reckless and tend to live like we are still teens, when actually we are young adults, almost reaching mid life crisis. Yes it comes earlier now…lol. If you have not heard or made any contact with the person please think with the ADULT mind and refrain from trying to spread rumors about people just to get some news. What is they going to get you, are you getting a bloody pay check? Are you getting candy? Are you feeling happy when you do that.? Are you getting a Husband or a Boyfriend?

I just shake my head at those people and say GROW UP. The sun revolves around everyone. Get off the high horse it will get you nowhere, or well somewhere, it will make all your friends leave you alone. Then what? You will be an old hag without friends, and because of your attitude you might even end up a spinster, or a bachelor. Just venting, I have had a lot on my mind lately.
