zune1.jpgI’ve been waiting for this day my whole life. Yes. This day. My Zune, which I so lovingly named “Zune” now works with my MCE 2004 desktop. Gone are the days of dragging out the laptop just to run a wireless network through the house. I can sync anything, whenever I want. I am veeeeery happy.

The funny thing is, I had almost created this hack on my own. I had managed to Orca the .msi file properly, but I had no idea how much work getting WMP 11 would be for this OS. I emailed the author of the hack and gave my sincerest thanks, but it’s times like this I wish I had money to contribute to all the hard work that was put into making the Zune hack work.

Let’s sync! :clap:

Personal, Work

Broke As A . . .

I’m still alive and kicking, but dude, I am broke as a joke. I don’t get paid until September 15th and my last check arrived, oh, around June 30th. Not that anyone would ever consider such a thing, but never, EVER, hire me to manage your finances. You’ll be homeless and starving. Yeah.

Work is going pretty great this year. The students are terrific and the change in administration has been reinvigorating. I have no plans for the holiday weekend, and it’s a good thing (see above re: BROKE). I think I’ll finish the spring cleaning around here and spend a nice long weekend at home with the kids 🙂

My, oh my. That phrase keeps popping up, doesn’t it?

Jason Momoa is going to be at Dragon*Con. I am not. Do you see the problem here?!? I considered borrowing the money to attend just to see him. Seriously. Had it been Sean Bean, I would have, but I guess I can live without seeing Jason in the flesh. Jason, flesh, Jason, flesh. Gah! It’s probably best that I don’t go and make an utter fool of myself, a la, Cliff Simon last year. I should try to hang onto that last shred of dignity I’ve been clinging to for so long.

Yes, it’s best that I not attend this year. Be warned, however! I’ll have the money to go next year and should Jason return, I can’t promise I won’t be “that girl” who does something to embarrass herself and everyone around her. 😆
