So lazy is apparently too lazy!

So I finally took the time to reinstall stuff on my laptop, but apparently the computer gods did not like how lazy I was and saw fit to punish me.  I hadn't installed Adblock/NoScript/Flashblock yet and I made the mistake of searching for One Piece episodes on random sites since my main download was taking too long (I'm rewatching the series with my girlfriend.)  Obviously you know where this is headed, I ended up with a virus.  So here I am skipping class right now to wipe my computer again since I'm far too lazy (uh oh?) to deal with the virus on a computer that has basically nothing on it anyways. 

So Lazy!

I've yet to stick any games on my laptop, my CD drive seems to be broken...something I can't understand since I never use it.  I can't imagine me using it more then 20 times in the 2 years I've had this computer, yet it's still broken!  Now I have to go make CD images on another computer and transfer them over.  Simple task yes, but for some reason  I have no motivation to do it -_-; 

Also, in response to a previous comment, I would love to put linux on my laptop and the only thing stopping me really is the games (and visual studio/microsoft libraries, not sure if those work on linux or not.)  I once stuck linux on my PS3, but sadly that was before I bought my HDTV and it required at least a 720i(or p I forget) resolution to work. 

Finally, a request to anyone reading this:  last post I told you the specs of the new laptop I'm thinking of getting.  Anyone know of a better laptop or a similar one for around the same price ($1700)?  I'm not buying a Dell/Gateway, other then that I'll consider anything. 

Crap...

Well my laptop is dying FAST...Seems like it's taking hits from all parts: Video Card/Processor/HDD (this has been slowly dying for a while.)  I had to wipe my computer yesterday and spent the day before transferring everything to dropbox (Awesome service! If you don't have one use my link and we both get extra space! http://db.tt/tpYMfkG or you can be mean and just go to dropbox and sign up yourself, but then you don't get extra space either.)  Sadly I lost my windows 7 install and now I'm back on Vista...but at least my computer is hanging in a little better.  I'm looking at a new laptop atm, I think I'm going to get a Sony Vaio EC series Sony EC series Specs: 1GB V.Ram (ATI 5650 if I remember correctly,) 500GB (7200RPM) HDD, 8GB Ram, Intel i7 2.88GHz processor, windows 7 professional (spending the extra $50 so I can select Fresh start and I don't have to have all the extra crap companies always stick on computers....screw AOL..I have a horror story I'll share another time about them.)

In other news I did some more work on my video game framework this weekend, not enough to really make a post about, but it's slowly getting better.  The FFXI marathon went well too, didn't get done exactly what I wanted but I am working towards it.
