Decided to take a few days off and get some much needed work around the house done. Got the lawn mower out and cut both the neighbor's and our front lawns, and chopped down a 20 foot Douglas Fir that was getting annoying( was half dead and rotten and the birds seem to like to gang crap off of it onto the cars). Once that was done I detailed my Mom's car for her as she was going away for a convention.
Last night at about 4:30am I got fed up with Windows 2000 on my laptop and decided to wipe it out and put XP on it. It was getting to the point were the HD remained fragmented to some point and it took forever to boot. XP install went well and it boots in half the time (mind you it is a clean install too, not much in the way of utilities). Of course I had to install GVim, and Cygwin so I can code in a decent environment.
All in all it has been a peaceful weekend, just watched The Transporter on DVD, and was impressed with the driving scenes, as well as a few of the fighting scenes. All-in-all it was a good flick that the entire family could watch, no real ultra gore or explicit sex. Back at it tomorrow then.
