For the past three and a half months at Job #1, I have been forced to bring in my laptop to work everyday. This is because our CMS only works on PCs (something worth discussing on its own) but my company wouldn't spring for a copy of Photoshop. Today, I finally got a brand new laptop with a brand new copy of Photoshop 7. This means that I will no longer need my Powerbook at work. Finally, no more schlepping. My only concern is that I won't have access to my RSS feeds at work anymore. Of course, maybe that's better in the long run. I might actually get some work finished.

The laptop is very nice so far. It's a Dell Latitude D600 and has not yet caused any problems in the first two hours. I'm hoping this trend will continue, but I think it's a little early to make that sort of prediction. It's going to be weird working in a Windows world again. I haven't been forced to use a Windows box for a few years, but I don't mind it. As much as I love OS X, it's nice to have access to a whole new crop of programs, especially the open source ones.

And now, I should do that not-procrastinating thing I was talking about. It will be strange doing actual work.
