Boring, Sid, Boring, Boring, Boring
Spent last night moping about the Red Sox, finishing up my homework, and trying to fix my computer. I took it out to the kitchen table to dissect it and salvage the pieces worth salvaging, and lo and behold, it booted up! I don't know what changed...but I got it up and running, and then met with complete defeat when trying to put in the new hard drive Randbot hooked me up with at the strip club the other night (in either a very Matrix-y or very nerdy kind of move, depending on your interpretation). I'm sure I'm doing something wrong master/slave wise (those are technical terms, assholes), but something is definitely wrong with my floppy controller, so I'm pretty much SOL.
Doesn't matter, because even though I surfed and typed like crazy last night, this morning, it was DOA all over again. So I've been breaking up work by shopping for the components of a new system on TigerDirect.com. If anyone has any other reccomendations of places to shop, by all means, let me know. Right now, I'm getting a new HD, an Athlon XP 2200, a new motherboard, 256 MB of memory, a new case, a shitload of cooling fans and a new floppy for around $400. I'll keep my monitor, keyboard, vid card, sound card, and NIC.
The point is this: the faster I get up and running again, the sooner I can get on with my life and the sooner there might be something halfway interesting posted here.
