Quick update on the laptop

Still havent gotten one yet. I went to best buy to see what 14" looks like and I dont mind it. Its not that small and is pretty fine for my purposes and intent. So I will look to be purchasing in the upcoming months after my vacations and I start sorting out my finances.

ATL!

Georgia is very different from florida. I would move there in a heartbeat if I could. And maybe I can. What I was impressed about the most was the trees. Some people might call it bush, but I really like the more conservative atmosphere. If there is one thing that everyone keeps talking about, it is the prices of houses in Georgia. A small two bed-room apartment can buy a nice 3 bedroom house in Georgia and almost a bigger 4 bedroom one. I was told that Georgia has the most churches per square mile in the United States. It could very well be true because I saw a lot of them. There are also a lot of black people which is nice and alot of universities.

I was there visiting with a friend Faith-Ann, who I know from jamaica. We spent the fist day in downtown Atlanta where we visited the Bodies exhibit (http://www.bodiestheexhibition.com/) at the atlanta civic center and then we strolled over to the georgia aquarium (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Aquarium). Both were very good except a bit overpriced maybe. Probably one of the highlights of the day was the jamaican restaurant we stopped to pick up jerk chicken on the way back to her house. Felt just like home, complete with a drunk dread dancing to the music out front. I hope to go back soon.

Laptop

Still havent gotten my laptop yet. I got a little side tracked with that. Im gonna go buy bestbuy today hopefully to see what a 14 inch monitor looks like. I have to know if I can live with a computer screen that small.

School

Ive been back and forth about going to do another degree. Ive decided to persue it as far as I can. I put in a request for my gre scores. When I get those I will take it from there. Im also contemplating take a course on trading on the stock market using options. I however need $$$ to start the course, currently looking for a loan. Its not that I dont have the money, but Id rather leverage with financing. Another plus is that it would help me to build up my credit rating. As they say credit is more important in america then money. Im not sure how true that statement is, but so far it seems to be valid.

Shopping for a laptop

If Im going to start learning C# again I am going to need a laptop. I thought that maybe I would buy one of those cheap dells. All I really need is 512MB memory, and a DVD drive. I found all I was looking for for just over $600. The Inspiron B120.

The only caveat is that screen is a little bit smaller than I would like. But for $600 I will accept that. Just looked at the site its actually $499 after mail in rebate. Looks like we have a winner.

Thinking about C#

I like php, honestly I do. Its just that these days I am thinking that I need to change my programming language. Not that I hate php, but C# is just alot more attractive at this point in time.

First Post

Currently at work. I should be trying to fix bugs, but I need a break. So I decided to start a blog. Makes sense!
