Flu shot achieved

They scheduled another clinic today, and there's nobody at this one, so I got my shot in 5 minutes, including hanging around BSing with the nurses about vaccines in general and when the H1N1 will be available.

That's a little better

I got fed up and found the spot in Windows 7 to turn off all of the damn animations-the stuff where windows "zoom" up and down instead of just appearing, all the glass window crap, a bunch of other stuff like that. It looks kind of like I'm using an actual operating system again. I did a little work on the taskbar yesterday, it's looking better too.

I'm not really happy with Windows Explorer, that's going to get some work soon too and see what I can do about making that make some kind of sense, hiding the useless crap and bringing up actual useful tools.

What would be perfect would be a Windows 2000 skin, but apparently they've done their best to make that impossible.

Functionally, Windows 7 is a very nice OS, but I really don't like all the window dressing and dancing clowns they've added to it.

EDIT - bonus, I just found how to shut off all the rounded edges on windows and glowy buttons and misshapen system buttons in the upper right corner.
