Hey, hey, hey! Thanks to the Con-Man, I've got Windows Longhorn build 4053 up and running, the screen shot is on the left side. Um, well, thats about it. Bryan got a new game so we played it on Friday. It was by the same people who made Settlers of Catan, and I must say that it was enjoyable. Tigris and Euphrates was the name of the game. Jordan came along, but all he did was talk to people on the internet on Allen's laptop.

I've been working on a guy's computer for the last couple weeks. He went to Computers Made Easy first, and they told him it would be $400 because he needed a new mobo and processor. I came to the same conclusion for what was wrong, but I got a mobo and proc for $116. But then windows didn't want to start, and that didn't suprise me, I put it in my usb HDD enclosure, and it looked good, copied the my documents and stuff, saw that the winxp install was on a partition, so i loaded the 98 startup disk on his computer to get into DOS and started the installation. Good, until it restarted, then it said something like - Operating System Missing or something, so I knew the boot record or the partition table was messed up or something, and from this point on the hard drive was just screwed. I couldn't get on the main partition any more, when I tried data recovery software, it came across masses of bad sectors and either quit or froze my computer. The next time I tried installing windows from off the hard drive, it kept on having trouble copying files or reading files and such. Now I'm installing off of my winxp home disk, and I decided to format the main partition to have it mark off the bad sectors for non-use. Well, its been going for about 25 hours now, and it's only gotten to 17%. I think this HDD is utterly fubared. I bought another drive to replace it, and this puts me out $57. I'm not sure if I should ask the guy to pay for it, or if I should just leave it at that because it worked fine (the hard drive anyway) when I got it, but sometime while in my possession, it totally crapped out.

This may be one of my longest posts ever, but that's just me

Well, it seems that my P2110 was finally sold on eBay. $1025. Not too bad considering I paid $910 for it with a DVD/CD-RW drive, but I guess I did add wireless and the high capacity battery, then there's eBay and PayPal taking their $75 share. But still, money is money, and its better in cash form than old laptop form. Now, I might have to shell out the $130 for a modular bay battery, or maybe $210 for a 60GB 7200RPM hard drive for the P5k I'm using now.

If y'all's don't know, the new Windows XP Service Pack 2 Release Candidate 1 is out for the testing. I have it installed at me home, and it will soon be on me laptop. It's, um, well, not that much different. It's got a firewall, the system properties hardware tab area has been changed around abit. Theres a new View Available Wireless Networks dialogue. I'm sure theres plenty of other stuff that I just don't know about.

Yippee, horray, and other shouts of jubilous contentment. Today was the day I did my group presentation. It is done, over, finito. As an extra added plus we got 94%. Now, at work, I should study for my econ test tomorrow. Ughck. I need spring break now...and then for it to last...forever.

Wild animals lick it clean.

Another Monday, another HomestarRunner Comic. This weekend was drill(for Allen: it was a Black & Decker) weekend. We put up a GP Medium tent, but first SGT Hamende got the fork lift stuck in soft ground. That was the best part. We had to pull it out with a Humvee. We really tore up some grass while we were at it too. It seems that the backlight on the Laptop I sold Allen don't work anymore. Steve thinks it's probably the power inverter, but heck if I know. It worked fine when I had it. Jasin of the Jones is back in town for the next two weeks. He did come back last Monday.

However, I do feel bad for women, especially since they can't drive.

So, I'm here in the union using my wonderous lifebook, working on the slides for my OLS252 presentation next monday. And I'm thinking, you know, I can't wait until spring break. But then it hits me. I have no choice but to wait. I can't control time. What's wrong with me? I still have to do this presentation and have my next math midterm on wednesday and the OLS midterm on thursday. But at least I get the Friday before SB off. Math class cancelled, and no PHYS lab. I just gotta get me lab report done by thurs do i don't have to come to school at all.

My PHYS recitation is about pointless, we spend two hours doing, well, about nothing and then a quiz. The only reason anybody comes is because the quiz. I sat there, did my tutorial homework for next week, which took about 5 minutes, and doodled and listened to the people at my table talk for an hour and a half, then we took the quiz. I probably screwed it up. It was the same thing as one of our chip homeworks and I think I got that wrong too.

I just registered to vote and got some green guy party elected to appear on the Indiana State Presidential Ballot. And then, I got a FREE HIGH 5! totally for free. That was the main reason I wanted him on the ballot. I don't even know his name. Isn't that, like, so totally awesome?? Huh? huh? isn't it? I'm going to homestarrunner.com now.
