Still finding new things on my laptop whooohooo

by The Diva

I’ve had my new laptop for about three weeks now and I’m still exploring everything that’s on it. It certainly came loaded with quite a bit of software … in fact, I think i”ll probably end up taking some of it off the computer after a while if I don’t find that I use it because my new laptop has two hard drives and the operating system seems to be installed on the smaller hard drive which means everything so far is getting installed on that hard drive so it’s filling up quickly!

The new laptop is an Asus and if you’re familiar with Asus they come with tons of software and as I said I’m still trying to figure out what it all is … like smart login manager, and asus multiframe, asus access, asus, ap bank .. Clicking on the programs has gotten me into trouble once or twice so I think i’ll do internet searches on them first to figure out what they are. LOL I just wish there was a better explaination somewhere on the computer as to what all this special Asus variety software was about.

Oh and there’s a built in webcam. I’ve never had that before on a laptop or desktop. Trouble is .. again, I can’t find anything about how to control it. There’s barely anything written about it in the manual. Odd. Anyway .. once I figure it out I can use it for Conference calling on Skype with my friends and family. I’m certainly looking forward to that! Actually maybe if I just download and set up the Skype software perhaps the webcam will work? Probably. I guess I should test it while I can still return the laptop huh? I mean, if it didn’t work …

Ok back to finding out what other fun stuff is on my laptop …

I’d love to take advantage of some of the computer sales

by The Diva

I’ve been saying for about 6 months that I’d like to get a new laptop. There’s nothing wrong with the laptop that I’m using (to write this post), but it’s a little old and it sure would be nice to have a newer faster model.

I was just browsing around and I saw that the Acer Aspire are on sale for a great price. I know it’s a netbook, but as a spare computer to tote around it would be great.

Do you ever think of getting an extra computer for the house? I practically live on the computer. I swear I’m attached to a computer keyboard about 12 hours a day and we only have two working computers in the house so having one or two more wouldn’t be overkill. Really.

I’ve got to start using my camera more often

by The Diva

I’ve been very lazy about taking pictures lately. Actually, it’s not just lately … I think it started sometime last fall.

I have a photoblog that I barely post in anymore. I also have a lovely garden that I used to take tons of photos of – macros of flowers in bloom, seed heads and so on … but I don’t think I’ve pulled out one of my digital cameras in at least a month.

I still enjoy taking photos, but I think it’s processing them on the computer that I don’t like. I have quite a few – maybe 300 or 400 photos – from things that we did in June and photos of our flowers blooming that are sitting in folders on my computer waiting to be cropped and then uploaded to my Flickr account.

Do you ever get lazy about taking photos when you to parties or interesting events? Or are you like me – you take the pictures, but don’t do anything with them once they’re uploaded on to your computer?

I’ve got to get out of this funk .. I think I take pretty good photographs and I should be at least including a few on each of my blogs.
