Been working on the new garage computer - installing some utilities (here, here, here, here, here for starters) the bookkeeping software as well as the shop management software. Drivers for the two label printers. Various handy utilities.
Microsoft really really really wants you to join the Borg Collective. It forces you to assimilate set up an account with them and uses that to log in. Only later can you go into the admin functions and change your account to a local log-in. Click yes, I really wanna do that. Click confirm, I understand that I am choosing to leave the Borg. Click verify, I am certain that I want to set up a local account.
I understand that they have to monetize their investment but sheesh - they are driving a lot of people right into the Linux community. I wish they would put a Sod Off button - start from the very beginning with a local login. Also grumbling to myself as I wanted to put a new battery in the motherboard. I have a pack of about 10 of them but can not find them. Oh well...
Raining lightly - stopped working on the van around 5:00 - soup for dinner. Sleeping in tomorrow - two days of rest and relaxation but there are worries on the horizon. I finished the book I was reading (fascinating story well told) and have nothing queued up for next. Browsed the library this morning after coffee but nothing caught my eye. Starting to go through withdrawal. Deep slow breaths...
