It's the Little Things

So, I'm working from home today, since my laptop has decided that it can no longer live with its video card. Last I heard they aren't speaking, and the laptop has taken out a restraining order. The ultimate result for me is that I have to send it in to Dell to replace the video card (ouch for both time and money). Since if I am not actively running an experiment I am on my laptop, without the laptop I would be taking up valuable computer resources for thenext couple week and making my coworkers very angry with me. My extremely considerate boss therefore gave me permission to just work at home when I need to work on data, so here I am.

Anyway, I just spent the last hour or so tricking my desktop computer into running two conflicting programs, one of which isn't even supported on XP (which I just found out). It's not much, but when I finally succeeded it did merit a quick victory lap around the apartment. I tell you, it's the little thngs in life that make it great.
