Where is Chad?

In preparation for the long drive back to Indiana, I started playing with a new GPS tracking app. Over the next few days I’ll be playing with it so I can get a better idea of how it works, and you can see where I go as I travel to/from work, then to/from work again… and then… yes, to/from work.

You can check it out here.

Didn’t take long

Unfortunately, while FreeBSD rocked for the most part, I found I couldn’t live without the few simple things I mentioned previously. As I am temporarily living in a small apartment far away from home, and therefore not about to sign up for cable service, I really need NetFlix Movie Viewer to work. And the YouTube experience left a lot to be desired. The final straw, though, was that despite the advances with Wine, I couldn’t get Quicken H&B to run, nor the scanning functions of my printer/scanner. Those were show-stoppers.

So, I did a factory restore and I’m back on Vista and everything works again.

The world kinda’ sucks.
