New toy
Bought a netbook, named her Free Bit. Typing on her now. I can tell it's going to be the punctuation that does me in here, I keep hitting the slash when I am for the period/ (case in point). I guess I'll train myself eventually. I can find the backspace intuitively which is better than pretty much every other netbook keyboard I tried.
Anyway, this is the first time I have actually owned a windows system, ever, so: any recs for AIM and IRC clients? Trying to think what else I want--have already downloaded Firefox, need to get some add-ons for it, setting up AVG now, I figure I'll head to openoffice for my doc needs, and other than that, I can't think what else I'll be using little baby Bit for.
Got rear-ended in the parking lot of the electronics store, because pick-up truck drivers are asshats who can't see behind them and ignore honking horns. So I have a ding in my bumper. I have the strangest feeling it wouldn't have happened if I weren't a universe sideways from Loki right now, and I find myself feeling a little naked without his protection.

Also: the kidz miss you greatly. And ignore the PVC pipe on the back table when you do get back- I've got a side project I'm working on.

I should be home tomorrow afternoon. *contemplates how to keep baby Bit's cord away from Buttface*
