In the month since, I have spent some time improvating [1] it to a point where it is useful. And by "useful" I mean:
- I got our financial information off the old computer and onto the new so I can pay bills, balance banking accounts, and keep track of college payments. Bo-Ring. But necessary.
- I installed drivers and configurated[1] the silly Windows 7 interface to allow myself to print to our wireless printer. Also pretty boring, except I had never done that to my work laptop, so it is nice to have a wireless printing capability from the comfort of my La-Z-Boy.
- I installed DM Genie, and transferred both campaigns to it. Very, very cool.
- I installed my excellent electronic toy, the Bamboo Fun tablet I bought so I could draw more maps and such for Dungeons and Dragons.
- I installed enough games to give me something to do while winding down at the end of the day: Ticket to Ride: Online, mostly.
But, in that month, I had not yet taken the time to do the most important step in relaxifying[1] my new laptop. I did that this weekend:- I installed Civilization IV: Gold Edition
Ah yes. It was excellent. Having Civ IV on my laptop allowed me to enjoy hours of "America takes over the world" diversosity. [1]
==================================
[1] I have "Wicked" on the brain today, so many of my verbs, adverbs, nouns and adjectives are being influenced by the coinification[1] which takes place in that musical. Plus, "The Lorax" is being released, and Dr. Seuss's birthday was this week. It's no wonder convergosity[1] is taking place in my wordifying.[1] But one of the words I have labeled with this superscript is, in fact, not invented. Do you know which one?
