Other than going to my sister's house and playing with my two-year-old niece nothing of any much significance happened today. Playing with my niece is always fun of course, you never quite know what she's exactly going to do next or what mood she'll be in next. I'm fairly certain that's normal for a 2-year-old though.

Yesterday though I found out within 10 seconds or so of opening MS Word it would crash.

I did the normal troubleshooting I could think of: repair install, re-install, uninstall/re-install, deleted the normal.dot, crated a new user, logged in and tested under said different user, tried adjusting a few registry entries per a suggestion I found on the Internet...unfortunately none of those things worked.

I did find out if I opened word and then brought up the options screen it wouldn't crash. So the crashing seemed to be related somehow to the blinking cursor...or something...

Finally I went in and looked at my installed printers and realized I had a corrupted printer install still in there. I deleted that and attempted to delete the instance of the same printer installed, which hasn't yet worked, and Word stopped crashing. The other instance isn't actually marked as my default printer however. It's just kind of there. Trying to be deleted. I uhh...kind of wish I had thought of this as a cause a little sooner.

I did get a lead on a possible job. I don't know if anything will come of it. Also it's like two hours away. When there's no traffic two hours. In rush hour I don't think I want to know how long it'd take. At least it'd be a year contract. I think I'll move closer by if I some how got it.

Well this was certainly an exciting entry, wasn't it?
