on inspired days i wager i could probably accomplish more than mr. president himself. fed up with using my sister's knotty fujitsu laptop and being stuck with google and blogger in chinese, i hauled my (gargantuan) ass off the couch and started re-installing all my applications back into my laptop. (i did a reformat about three weeks ago)
what bliss! it's always nice to be back in familiar waters.
but, as a result of the reformat, i had to go through the ardous process of installing windows xp service pack 2 again.
microsoft.com simply is the worst site ever. EVER.
example: i want to download sp2, so i go to "Top Downloads", then select "Windows XP Sp 2", i am brought to this site. what a lot of words! so i scan, there's a heading that says "Get Windows XP Service Pack 2".
ok. pause.
now that i'm already on sp 2 after the initial fiasco. the site works fine. but i swear, while i was still stuck in newly reformatted sp 1, the windows update site doesn't work! i swear! i only got to update using the CD-Rom i'd ordered from microsoft when sp 2 was first released.
anyway, rants aside, i'm a happy camper now. :) i never thought i'd see blogger in english again!

Get Windows XP Service Pack 2
• Turn on automatic updates
You can download SP2 and all future critical updates automatically by turning on the Automatic Updates feature in Windows XP.
You can also download SP2 from Windows Update. If you cannot use Automatic Updates or download SP2 via Windows Update, order a CD.
