Real Life Intrudes On Blogging
Busy day, actually doing some real work for a client who is making a transition. Doing it I learned that you get the complete Windows 7 system no matter which version is running on a new computer, and then you have to pay for the ‘key’ to get the appropriate level [Home, Professional, Ultimate] that is used. It makes upgrading easier, and Microsoft saves money by only producing one product disk.
Since Windows 7 doesn’t include a calendar, I grabbed VueMinder Calendar Lite [the free version] to see if it would do the job. Overall, I’m very pleased with the results. I would recommend it for people who don’t want to trust their life to a Microsoft web app, the M$ solution for the absence of Outlook in Win 7.
My day was a lot better than Steve Bates’s. He had to deal with the flooding in Houston caused by a front moving through.
I gave a neighbor a ride to his job, because his car is down for repairs. There is nothing in the way of public transportation here, so his options were to get a ride from someone, or pay more for a taxi than he would make by going to work. The round trip is 25+ miles, so that’s at least a gallon of gas every day.
