Good News / Bad News, dear journal.
Good News: I have full power at my apartment. Air Conditioning and Lights, TV, etc.
Bad News: Big Brain's Hard Drive is crapping out... I can't seem to keep him awake for more than a moment or two before he cycles through and reboots... I'm going to estimate he needs about $400 worth of repairs... mirror the giant drives over to new drives, basically. He had started to die earlier.. I thought it was a power issue, but I see now that it's even worse.
Good News: I dropped it off and it's still covered under the extended warranty.. (this big brain was bought 12/21/03, and he's got 2 years parts and labor covered - a little over a month left to freshen up - I'm also having them do a full system peek, just in case the video card is starting to crap out)
I expect to have it back at HQ within 7 working days. Meanwhile, lappie is a handy backup, just word processing and the like... no major gaming for a week or so.
I've begun sorting the apartment out... packing things into boxes and skimming down to the very basics. All of my books should be ready for transport by the end of the weekend.
Phoenix is going to get some training today after lunch... I think that she has some solid tech potential.
Moment of Lyric: mp3
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music
Would you hold it near as it were your own?
It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they're better left unsung
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air
(Chorus)
Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow
Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of men
There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone
(Chorus)
You who choose to lead must follow
But if you fall you fall alone
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home
Combined all of my assorted Scotto feeds on a suprglu page - Scotto's Combo Grotto. nice find, mike!

Very glad that you'll have A/C while you get things packed. Working/lifting/carrying in steamy climes is no fun.
