Changes Forthcoming

I got a new job recently but haven't started yet.  I haven't bothered to tell anyone on Facebook or even Tweet about it.  My friends (or rather, those people who are on that list) don't read this blog.  When they start bitching about my not telling them my life changed, I can say "well, I posted about it on my blog."

I will lose my tablet computer next Thursday.  I'd planned to quit Friday the 3rd but we're furloughed.  So in losing my only mobile computer I have left since the state won't let me keep it, I ordered my next PC.  It's a customized HP Pavilion dv6z (looks a lot like this one) and I think it's the end-all for five years.  With a quad-core AMD Phenom II, 640GB HDD, and 6GB RAM, I should be set for at least that long.  They threw in a discounted HP Officejet 4500 Wireless All-in-One I couldn't resist getting that too.

I got the printer in yesterday and the slip-case I tagged on will be here tomorrow.  HP still says the computer will be built by September 2, 2010.  I ordered a Dell laptop for a client a day before I ordered my own from HP.  We'll see which one gets here first.
