There is some people playing some crazy music here in the lab tonight. I don't know why or where they are, but I hear them, and it bothers me. Tuesday is my first

Allen thinks that because he has started his own blog and the Allen & Co. Yahoo! Group that no one comes here anymore, but unbeknownst to him, he was the only person who came here anyway, besides myself of course, and by the fact that he has made a post on his special area, proven himself wrong just by the fact that he still came here.

Well since Joey has gone to war and everything, he told me to post the info of how he hit a 12 yr old girl with his car, but that she was ok, but someone stopped and so the police and ambulance came. Ok! so now where should I begin?...

This weekend the Army Reserve from Danville, IL went to camp Atterbury, and we played in the woods for a couple days. Only eleven people went along, but we made due. It was all good fun. We got to use Night Vision Goggles and had a little training exercise with them. We also did some Land Navigation (analogis to Orienteering for those Boy Scouts out there). I got a headache Saturday night, and the XO made a bigger deal out of it than it was. Since we had just had heat cramps/exhaustion/stroke training, he kind of made me an example I think. The good part was I got about an extra 2 or 3 hours of sleep, but I also missed out on some tactical squad formation stuff and another night of using the NVGs.

There are an unusually high number of females in the lab tonight; thank goodness for warm weather. :^)

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
