Sunday Nothing
It was a welcome change. Spending a day doing nothing...
Of course, there were the essentials: sleep, eat, internet...
But for some twisted reason, our cable service has been on the blink every Sunday. Those people have idiot repair plans. They could schedule their repair and/or maintenance activities on some other day (perhaps on a week/workday when people don't really watch television). But no! They schedule it on the one day people actually want to watch TV. Idiots!
Next, I called the repair shop where Jessica is. Still nothing. They just have to replace that friggin' hard drive. I think they're having a hard time finding a replacement 20Gb hard disk since the 40Gb is now more common. But in their shrewdness, they're insisting on the 20Gb. They already offered the 40Gb upgrade for an additional P500.00 and I accepted it first because it's cheap and second, I wanted Jessica back as soon as possible.
I already blew my top yesterday because even if I use Lindsay most of the time, I still need Jessica for work. And I made that perfectly clear to them. It's almost two weeks and I was supposed to experiment with it by installing the Bayanihan Linux 3.1 and find some open office alternatives. I wouldn't want to go around with "authenticity challenged" software, would I?
Also, the Jesuit Brother-friend that recommended Linux to me said, it was way faster than Windows since it was not carrying more than 25 years worth of crap. Because in their quest for backward compatibility, Microsoft was still carrying technology from the PC-DOS days, unlike the other platforms such as Linux, Mac OS X (whatever cat variety), UNIX, etc. which are new. He said Linux was still fast, even on a Pentium II.
Anyway, it's back to my consultancy today (after paying Bea's final tuition fee installment) and a possible client call tonight...
