Setting up a new machine for development
It never fails that I don't think about having replaced my laptop since my last demo until the hours preceding my next demo, at which point I realize how many hours it takes to load up all the development tools I use. Every time this happens I have to call and push my demo off a day.

I don't replace equipment often, once a year maybe, but man - this shouldn't be this freakin' hard.

It only takes you hours? It takes me days.

I guess that's why until just about a month ago I was still using a 5-year-old machine for development, too... (and I'm still finding things that I didn't have on my list of shit to install on the new one).

I'm sure there are things that I'm missing, but the key components that I need are all running now, only 5 hours after I was supposed to be running this machine in a demo. At least I'm done and can spend tonight and the better part of tomorrow making the demo that much better.

I'm sure I'll be finding little things for weeks. I know I've still got to install my Windows emulator and all my alternate OS virtual disks...
