Computers (General): August 2006 Archives

   I am quite cheery today. My new hard drive, to replace my now dead secondary one, has arrived. I wasted no time in opening my computer up and getting it all nice and cozy in there. Ah, it is nice to have my full storage capacity back.

   Greetings my fellow internet dwellers. Disaster has struck me today. After copying over a particularly large file for my uses, my crap secondary hard drive finally died on me. This doesn't really come as a suprise to me. The drive has never acted very healthy.
   Luckily I was able to backup many things to a DVD before I was unable to even mount the damn thing on my computer. Plus, I have some old but useable backups from when I was moving stuff onto the drive. Strangely enough, although that dying drive took with it about half of my total storage capacity, I am only using 20% of my primary drive. So, storage space isn't really an issue, yet.
   I'm still planning on getting another drive to replace the dead one, though. I just have to gather some funds to do so. I suppose with classes staring next week, most of 'my' money will be going towards expensive and relatively useless books. So, I'm going to have to sell something. Something... something...
