XP toolbar trouble; resolved

About a week ago, the taskbar at the bottom of my desktop stopped displaying tabs for any running programs. It was utterly random and bizarre, and I had no way to pull up minimized windows without [Alt-Tab]ing to them.

I didn't have time to fix this until today, but a quick google search led me to the answer I needed at MetaFilter. There I found a link to this site from which I downloaded the necessary fix. I double-clicked the file, the screen blanked to the background for a few seconds, and then everything was restored, including the capacity to see windows on the taskbar! The fix took all of five minutes to find and execute. Hooray, happy ending!

The garden is doing well. I need to fertilize stuff, but I'm tuckered out from scrubbing down the patio. Maybe tomorrow :P

Also, grades are in: all A's which is a relief considering I think I forgot a few assignments here and there.

Countdown to Austin, t-minus 15 days.
