I'm back

[avram]

I have successfully raised my computer from the dead.

Seems it was just the hard drive. I swapped out the old, dead 100 GB drive for the 320 GB drive I had sitting around. There were a lot of screws involved, and I had to zip out to the hardware store at one point to get a better #00 Phillips-head screwdriver than the one I was using, but aside from that things went pretty well. Oh, and Migration Assistant bogged down while porting my Applications folder across, so I had to finish that up by hand.

So I’m back, with 200+ GB of free hard drive space that I don’t know what to do with.

Whooo! Go you! :)

I am impressed. I couldn't swap out a hard drive to save my life ... not without someone by my side going, "No, not that thing, that thing ... take it out!" >;)

I say fill it with art and other cool stuff. I miss your art. You should post that stuff here ... or if you post it elsewhere, you should tell me where. :)

It's easier if you practice on some desktop systems; they have more space, so it's easier to get at the components. And generally you've got a set of instructions telling you what to do.

Oh, and I sometimes drop artwork into my Flickr account.

Congratulations on making the resurrection roll!

Here's some material to fill that space, if you're into live music. (http://www.owlandbear.com/owl-and-bearchive/)

I doubt I'll have such luck.

so... what are you doing next sunday & monday nights?
I'm possibly in town. (depending whether I can find a place to stay)

The 30th & 31st? I think I'm free.

I wish I could offer a place to stay, but our apartment is kinda squalid.

I smell a potential excuse to attempt cleaning the place....
