1. The problems that the website was having are gone. Dreamhost (the webhosting company where my site is) has AWESOME support, and they nailed the answer down without even looking at my website. Just from my problem description they knew what I needed to do… so I did it, and the problems were gone! For those curious/nerds: I’m using wp-cache and PHP5, and there’s a slight incompatibility between the two. I had to change one line of code to fix it.
  2. Today at work I was handed my own laptop. It’s a Dell Inspiron 9200, with a 2.1Ghz Centrino Processor, 1Gb of RAM and an ATI 9700 video card. I didn’t have to pay to get it, they just gave it to me! I’m at home right now, took me about 10 seconds to get it hooked to my wireless network, and as I’m typing this post right now, I’m also downloading some essentials so that I can put it to good use ;)
  3. When I got home, there was an envelope addressed to me, from Microsoft. I opened it, and guess what I got? Microsoft Vista business Edition, for FREE. That’s right, for absolutely nothing. About 3 months ago I signed up at www.powertogether.com and watched some webcasts, and I got qualified for a free copy of Vista. And today I got it, a whole week before its official release. WOOOO! :dance: I’m not sure if I’ll be installing it yet, but I have it, and it was free. :keke:
