The reality that I’m never going to recover all the software that was installed on my old hard drive is finally starting to set in. Now I have to start installing everything again. Things I will be really pissed off when I need them and realize that I don’t have them anymore (which could be anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 years from now):

• Microsoft Word
• Visual C++
• CompareIt!
• SynchronizeIt!

Top priority installations:

• McAfee – required for work
• Soulseek – I’m falling behind on my music
• iTunes – I still fucking hate Apple, but I was going crazy with the same music for the past month.
• IE7 and Firefox – In that order, don’t believe the hype.
• Winamp – I hate that they have a new version every three days, but I’d still rather use it than use iTunes more.

In happier news, I think I finally have a successful mechanism for posting from my phone. Even if it does throw in that annoying advertisement.
