Well this weekend was busy.  Meri and I painted five rooms…FIVE!  There isn’t much to say about that other than we were busy as hell doing that.

Sunday afternoon, I was going to do some yard work and usually I listen to my mp3 player (Dell DJ 30, no longer in production) while I’m working.  Well I turned on my mp3 player and was greeted by an unfamiliar message: Problem with firmware.  Super!  So I figured I’d just download some new firmware from Dells support site and install it and be on my way.  Nope, it was not going to be that easy since my PC wouldn’t recognize the mp3 player was connected since the firmware was corrupt.  Normally, I would screw with it more on my own but I was tired from all that painting and just called Dell.  Long story short, even though I was 4 days past my warranty, they are going to replace the mp3 player for free.  I was pleasantly surprised at how easy that was to get “resolved” since I’ve read a lot about the horrible customer service from Dell.
