Busy
October 8th 2004
I’ve been incredibly busy lately, so sorry if you’re coming here expecting to find something interesting. I’d just like to say that my motherboard died and remained dead until I got a new one, when I found out that you can’t just swap hard drives with a new motherboard, and proceeded to install a fresh copy of Windows XP Pro on my new 250 GB hard drive. Let me just say, it’s squeaky clean and the difference is incredible. Now I just have to go through my checklist of about a hundred programs to install…
It’s also worth mentioning that it’s really nice to have a laptop for situations like this. Instead of “oh crap, my desktop died, now I don’t have a computer” it was “darn, my desktop died. I’ll just order a motherboard tomorrow and dual-display my laptop with this nifty 19 inch monitor that suddenly became free.” Yay.
And in other news, I’m bus-trippin it down to U$C this morning to watch the football game (go bears) and play some cool music… gimme a call if you’re at the game and I’ll wave… as if you could pick me out in the crowd of 92,000. As Terry Pratchett would say, “!”.
One more time: Go Bears! Beat the Trojans!
