For some that would be a nightmare, but for me it is the result of watching my intake and increasing my exercise level. I was 90 kilos about 7 or 8 weeks ago and I have been working hard to get rid of these 5 kilos. My dad is down some 20 pounds so yea him! I’m still in the obese BMI category (per the website I’ve been using, sparkpeople) but I’m not really focusing on that, simply on continuing to get more and more fit.
I downloaded OpenOffice 2.4.1 last night and LOVE the program. If you’re using MS’s Office, this is a wonderful alternative. MS Word has been looping, hitting 100% CPU utilization on my computer and while this is a known bug, I’m loathe to update old software. If you’re a Hughes customer, be aware that it is a 127mb download; I used Free Download Manager and scheduled it for the FAP-free hour of 2am (CST). I also upgraded to Firefox 3 and am not yet sure if I’m glad about that or not. You’ll need to uninstall FDM (if you had it with your previous version of FF) and re-download and re-install (but it will then work flawlessly with FF3.) My Thinkpad forum won’t work at all with FF3 and I have to use the IE tab add-on (which is sweet) but FF keeps blowing up on me for no discernable reason. Jonna, if you’re reading this, I think the IEtab add-on might fix the old MI forum problem but I haven’t been there since I upgraded FF so I can’t say for certain. FF3 has been working fine for quite a few hours, but blew up last night and again this morning. I’ve fixed my computer fan problem by never turning the beast off. :) I also downloaded NHC 2.0 to watch my CPU temp (that is how I found the MS Word 97 problem). I think I’ve thrown in enough acronyms there for the rest of the year. Suffice to say I’ve been really freaquing bizzy with hardware and software challenges. Oh, and if anyone knows where to get Arctic Silver here in Mexico, I’d be forever grateful.
Man, I’m beat today. The last two days I’ve woken at 6:30 and couldn’t get back to sleep. (someone please catch Jonna as she faints dead away) This morning I was able to go back to sleep at 9:30 and sleep for 2 hours but I’m still beat. Jamie dragged my ass out for a walk after he’d already cycled an hour so I think he will soon be the king of Kicking Ass.
So, did you SEE all those LINKS above? I’m so impressed with myself!

Yowza! 6:30am is alien country. Congratulations on the health though, I have to do this. It’s so easy to figure tomorrow is a better day to start.
You did throw in a lot of acronyms and links there, I’m impressed. We have someone coming down if you want to order the heat sink stuff, he’ll bring it.
I’m on a new mac now and I’ve got XP installed on a virtual disc so I use IE there to access MI. I think my problems have to be connected to the lag in the sat, I can’t figure out anything else. As for FF3, it is working flawlessly for me on the mac side. I really like it. I did go to MI and try it there but no, nothing works but IE + XP. Weird.
