And Word | Aja*
I haven't been enjoying my job much lately, but the job has not been responsible for this so much as my general mood. I've started working to correct this by taking the right supplements (just vitamins, not pharmaceuticals, legal or otherwise), and I realized that another important piece of the puzzle was missing. I was missing music - not just ( Read more... ) -
Doom 'N Gloom (Or The Appearance Thereof)
That ol' Zaca fire that isn't raging any more is still doing crappy things, thanks to the wonderful winds that kick up here in Southern California - we get another couple days of ash, and a completely grayscale sky during the day. I had the misfortune of choosing yesterday morning to clean up the bathroom, and when I came home later in the day, ( Read more... ) -
Back In The Saddle Again

It's very good ( Read more... ) -
Dual Bootage | Chase This
Apparently, setting up a dual-boot PC is truckloads easier than it used to be (at least, it's easier when you have more than one hard drive, because my system will actually ask me which drive I want to boot from). I decided to go ahead and let my system use XP again, as well as Ubuntu, for the sake of experimenting with some other Windows-based ( Read more... ) -
Another Successful Operation
My diagnosis of my Linux PC's motherboard was apparently correct - I was able to swap in a new, inexpensive board (Newegg FTW) and get X back up and running with minimal difficulty and zero loss of data ( Read more... ) -
THE SYSTEM IS DOWN
It looks like something in my computer is dead, but I'm not sure what. Initial prognosis: hard drives should be fine, because the errors I'm getting are happening whether or not they're hooked up. Still, this sucks.
Also, this is my first post from the LJ Talk IM client. Weird ( Read more... )
