A few days ago I forgot my Soon in the car when I got home. Unfortunately it was one of the few nights where the tempature dropped into the teens. I’m not exactly sure what happened to it but when I got it in the morning the strength stayed black but the back light would turn on. I figured it was acting weird because of the cold and pull the battery. I let it warm up and charge while I’m at work.

……..More

12 hours of charging and the damn thing still won’t turn on. I let it continue to charge when I get home for another 12 hours. Finally the bloody thing will turn on. Weird thing is that it says it’s only 30% charged. As soon as I pull the charger out the phone shuts off. I guess the battery didn’t like the cold so much.

I spend a few days trying to recharge the battery with no luck. I check out the cricKet website and find the ZTE Score for 69.99 and picked it up this morning.

Check my blog in a few days for a review of the phone.

Now that I have more free time I have started messing around with Windows Live Writer and updating my blog. One of the things I really want to do is post my gym workouts on my blog. What I don’t want to do is have to type everything every time. I thought it would be a no brainer that I could make a template to use each time. That way I can just plug in the figures (weight/reps, current BMI…). Nope can’t to it. I have a saved copy of the blank post on my desktop hopefully I can use it like a template.

So I was really really bored a couple nights ago. I had the bright idea to install Win7 on my aging IBM ThinkCentre. It’s a p4 system with 1gb of ram. The install took forever, seriously I think I got a gray hair while waiting. I started at 7pm and was able to login by 9pm. Installed all the updates, office, firefox and a few other apps and was up and running 100% by 10pm. The only issue I have is my video card it is an ancient Geforce 4 which has not been supported for years. Other than that my system is quicker than XP and I can now run the latest apps.
