I haven’t had a good week. A relapse and a reemergence of old symptoms. However, I won’t talk much about that.
I managed to upgrade my computer to Windows 7. It was nightmarish and HP told me they wouldn’t support it even though they have upgrade instructions on their website. It was the drivers that were giving me such issue. It took me a couple of days but I downloaded updated drivers and did a few other fixes so now the CPU is not at 90% and I’m connected to the Internet. Heh, hardware and drivers and all that aren’t my strength.
A friend of mine is going to school to become a programmer and it made me envious. Design isn’t my strength but I love working with code. Prior to upgrading to Windows 7 I tweaked a script and got single-sign on working for my IPB forum and Drupal install on a website of mine. I’d waited for months for the script that would do this to be released but I figured I could do it on my own since the developer stopped working on the project. So, maybe, just maybe, I should do the same as my friend. I guess like tons of other people I really don’t know what I want to do. I know I don’t want to be a pharmacy tech for the rest of my life. I know I love working with code. I know I want to learn more about programming.
My license still has not come in and my teacher is MIA. The money for the school was a gift but I still find it upsetting. I know I don’t want to be a pharmacy tech forever but I still want to work part time using my license for a while.
I’ve been pretty curious whether or not I should upgrade my laptop system to a Windows 7 but at the same time the thing that’s holding me back is the mere thought that it might still be unstable. Maybe I should wait for a year more once Windows 7 gets settled. Hehe. I’m sticking with my Windows XP for now
I’m not much of a hardcore programmer but I do love working with code as well. It makes me thinkthinkthink and that’s what I like about it!
I’d wait until you’re sure all your drivers are compatible. Without that, you’re in trouble. My wireless driver won’t work properly and I had to disable it. I upgraded it but it still wasn’t working properly. So, waiting is good. I only really upgraded now because I’d done a reformat and thought, Why not?
Working with code is so much fun. I always come up with things I can change.
