[Worst headache ever...] I took two Panadols when I woke up. Haven't felt the ache anymore ever since they kicked in, let's hope it stays that way. I helped my sister format her laptop today. After which, came the insane, mind-numbing, wanna-kill-myself process of installing everything back. At least I won't need to install EVERYTHING for her. She can install her own software, but I had to install the drivers, anti-virus and some of the other more "sophisticated" programs for her. The other time I did that was when the laptop first arrived. It's a Dell machine, and despite all their good press (as well as all the case studies we did about them in school), I was disappointed. They loaded up the laptop with so much crap that it was in a "lockdown" mode and I could not even get Internet access going on the machine. I formatted the machine, but for some reason, I couldn't get some of the components to work after that. I installed all the drivers, but they just didn't work. It was better this time round. I installed all the right drivers the first time round (Dell showed a LOT of drivers for the laptop, most of which had nothing to do with it). And I finally got file sharing to work between my machine and the laptop. It didn't work before, because in my just-to-be-safe mode of mind before we acquired the laptop, I disabled all the file sharing protocols and stuff. And when we bought the laptop, I could not re-enable all the stuff I disabled.  But since I acquired my new rig in September, I was careful to stick with most of the default options.That's it for now. Dinner time, after which, it's back to the laptop... ^^^ by Locksley @ 5:51 PM.

Broken for now. :( If anyone knows of a good way to display tweets without using Twitter's awful looking widgets, please let me know. Preferably something that allows me to retrieve my tweets in plain-text format.
