Just incase you were waiting, updating the software fixed the import from last year. Figures.

Not impressed with turbo tax.
So far the machine crashed during install
It refused to import my taxes from Tax Cut last Year
The One-Click update wouldn’t work till I switched off prompt me for cookie.
I found out the last one through random luck, I had already tried the normal things, reboot, then uninstall, reinstall. Then I went to the website and noticed a huge number of cookies. So my brain start think…. I wonder if?
So lets see if it will import last years tax return after updating.

I am having a lazy weekend. I would have had long sleep in if a certain feline resident hadn’t insisted that I feed her at 8:30 in the morning. Note to self make sure the dish is full before going to bed when you don’t want to get up the next morning. I finished reading Prey by Michael Critchon. A very easy read. Similar plot line to the Andromeda Strain.
There is something very satisfying about finishing a book.

I converted my iPod to windows format (boo hiss). My laptop doesn’t hold a complete copy of all my songs. They normally live on iPod for on the move music or on the File server for home use. This made it hard to use Itunes when the mac latop wasn’t on my home network. So I put the ipod software and iTunes on my windows box and use that for syncing to my home mp3 collection.

I am wondering how long it will take to copy all the music back to my iPod since I don’t have USB 2.0 or firewire on my desktop machine.

I think the iPod reverted back to an old version of the firmware when it was converted to windows format. At least now I can swap it between windows and the Mac with out issues.

We made it back from NewYork to baltimore, but after seeing the roads on the way down from baltimore to DC. I have no intention of traveling back tonight. I am hoping the road will be clean tomorrow morning so I can make it back otherwise I will need to make emergency arrangements for my Kitty Cat.

I am loving this cell phone modem thing. I am on a bus to New York. we are going to to see what is happening for Chinese New Year. I really need to find out which set of minutes the dialup comes out of. We are a little worried about the weather. It is supposed to snow tonight in DC, but I think we will be back before the worst of it,

Got the monitor on my newer mini-itx to come up with suse 9.0 and something bigger than 640×480.
I also upgrade the firewall on the other mini-itx to the latest and greatest version. So a general successful morning.
