Windows Home Server 2011 released yesterday to MSDN and as expected I upgraded that night. By upgrade I mean a fresh install and copy of the entire 3TB worth of data on my old server (which took all night). Now that I've achieved the latest and greatest, my post-upgrade excitement crash is greater than usual. I quickly discovered my Windows Server 2003 machine is no longer supported for backup, and not one of the machines I added was able to perform a successful backup. Plus the
removal of drive extender means I have to fit all my videos on a single drive, which just barely fit on my new 2TB. Not even a full day after my upgrade, I'm back to the original Home Server which works just fine. I declare WHS 2011 a downgrade, as it removes functionality and from what I could tell added nothing spectacular in return.
Ashamed of my presence on Facebook, I occasionally swear off the time suck social site for an entire day just to assure myself I can do it. Inevitably, someone gets wind of my goal and tries to sabotage it. After John announced my plans, the senator took it upon himself to be the instigator. While I survived the various link ruse attempts, I was foiled when he sent me a photo of facebook via MMS on my phone.

With Lisa having birthed a child, and the
Senators wife currently with child, it was time to have a
baby party. What do you do at a baby party you ask? Start with tailing the people you're visiting as they begin the drive back to your house, then call them before they get to Bennigans and order the Monte Cristo. Afterwards, retire to their house and earn achievements on WinPhone7 followed by a half-hearted attempt at Monopoly and X-Files. Sprinkle in some baby poop and vomit and your party is complete.
After Joseph received the
Nodo update for Windows Phone 7, I started to get antsy. He was enjoying copy and paste and better marketplace search, AND had access to warm weather and a beach. It was too much to bear, so I
forced the update. After it completed, it was like paying too much for a lap dance. You're drunk and excited before it happens, but then you realize you just blew 3 figures on something that wasn't that great. Turns out my regret comes in the form of
possibly breaking any future updates, but my plan to eBay it in the near future means someone else will have to deal with the pending STD.
Saw
this commercial on TV and was immediately obsessed. It made me realize (again) that alternate future history plots are where it's at. Instead of scaring everyone with what could possibly happen, entertain them with actual predictions. Plus it fits in nicely with the Homefront game and upcoming remake of Red Dawn.
The flatlanders
stopped by for a visit this weekend and enjoyed a sloppy joe feast prepared by my replacement wife who not only cooks and cleans but sucks snot out of Lilas nose. Jaird and I played Crysis 2 while Lisa and Melanie did everything else, with a few excursions mixed in.
Saw "Limitless" with the woman tonight. Movie about unlocking your potential with a pill that lets you access your entire brain. While we already access 100% of our brain (just 20% consciously) I let the error slide and enjoyed the movie. Of course I became obsessed with the fictional drug, so once I got home I searched and found the
viral site which was surprisingly well done.
I came home today to find the house clean and
Kuato making me dinner. He didn't seem as concerned about the mutant rebel resistance as I would have assumed, so I carried on talking about my day at work. Eventually he was re-absorbed having never told me my role in freeing the mutants or activating the alien artifact. Now that I know he lives nearby I'll be prepared for our next meeting and watchful of any suspicious Rekall employees.
Apart from a post-closing threat by my primary loan holder,
Alpha is no longer of any concern to me! After waiting 8 months, and dropping $6k I'm finally rid of the Redford money pit that was my home. While not as cunning as the
Senator, who was able to get out scott free, I'd much rather pay up now than later when gangs take over and start enforcing the 2 inch maximum lawn height (wheelles vehicles will still be allowed) A fun fact I learned at the closing is that Michigan still has
dower rights, meaning Lisa had to sign off allowing me to sell my house because she had rights to it despite not even knowing me when I bought it. On the flip side, she can sell her Condo without anything from me. As a result, her beatings have increased.
Having all but given up on Homefront, and being roundly chastised for pushing it, I decided to hide in the new Crysis game while the hate blew over. I can honestly say it's the best looking graphics I've yet seen on the Xbox 360, and so far the plot isn't all that bad. The suit is easier to use and at least on the hardest difficulty you're actually vulnerable, so you have to think about your next move rather than blasting through everything like the first one. Now that I've actually played it I can recommend it to the Homefront haters.
