Mood: foggy
Now that my computer is set up with secure internet and current virus protection, I will post this late. I tried earlier this week, but it did not make it through. Lucky for me I always Ctrl+A and then Ctrl+C before I post. I also added a spell check and fixed it to my enforced style.
I kind of had a rough day because of little things. The motherboard in my parents computer is dead. Refer to an earlier post regarding that. So I decided to test out all the components to make sure. Everything but the motherboard was working. I tested everything for the tech support. What I unfortunately choose to do after deciding to fix it was swap out my motherboard with their broken one and put my old MSI k7t pro2-a in mine until the replacement showed up. This is bad because windows 2000 on xp are able to survive all kinds of upgrades except motherboards. When I had everything swapped around I had 2 computers of deadly blue screens. I fired up knoppix on the xp machine and burned the files from after the last backup and was set. Then I was going to reinstall windows XP, but I found a repair option that worked. Not the first one but the second. Unfortunately since I had no Internet, I could not access command line help. But eventually I got the xp up but slow and without internet. Later today I am going to reinstall instead of repairing. It will not be so bad since I downloaded the service pack at my brothers place. Later I did a new install of win2000 on my box on a different hard drive in order to for sure save my "My Documents." This reminds me of why I hate "My Documents." From now on I will have my own folder like it, but of my placement choosing like I used to do. I guess the stability of almost 2 years had to go some time, but I think if I had prepared I would not have had a problem. Luckily I found my hacked USB modem drivers and was able to get internet going. Maybe tomorrow, I will be able to get things going good.
Also my Asian Special Edition Star Trek Season 7 arrived. It is a ripoff. All of the last episodes on the disks cutoff. Kind of pissed about that. They say 100% refund, but I have to pay $10 to ship it back, and it was only worth that. And if I leave negative feedback, this guy leaves retaliatory feedback. Screwed either way. Plus my books are over a month overdue. Pissed about that too. Pissed at ebay right now. Fortunately only out $35.
Heh, and last night I drove over a raccoon. It was running across the 4 lane road and was into the second lane when it turned back towards me and I braked but to late. It went under both right wheels. It was a really big one too. It was like going over a speed bump. I felt a little bad, but it passed quickly.
And then there was the dentist. I lost my phone, and I feel like I have not met deep slept in a week.
