01/12: Evil bastard...
I just stymied someone for knowing their address out of the blue... thank god for dns lookups and public registrar information! Bwahahaha.
My week nights so far on that blasted computer of Diane's.
Mon: 8.30 to 10pm (1.5hr)
Tues: 6.30 to 10pm (3.5hr)
Wed: 6.30 to 10pm (3.5hr)
So a blown capacitor was causing grief on her XP work machine. Mkay.. new motherboard and processor.. oh lookie.. the hard drive's boot sector won't load.. the data's there but it's not a bootable device even after an eight hour checkdisc, fixmbr, and bootfix attempts. Fuuuuuuuck. Throw in a new hard drive, power converters for sata drives, and a new dvd drive we have a damn near new computer. Oh, and the tar/dust filled fans and crap were enough to make me almost heave.
If it wasn't for my thirty minutes of stabbie time before and hour afterwards my calm would be severely damaged. Thankfully I left the pc in Diane's capable hands for all the reinstall of software (after I got XP back up and running).
I left with a promise of dinner on them for my time, I wanted to counter with "Just donate some phat stacks of cash to my robot diversion", but I was tired and cranky.
Oh, yes, My Biggest Fan, skyrim is the shizness. Screw playing with people online I have my NPC companion and I am destroying shit left and right. I am trying to figure out how to sneak up on a dragon and attack him from his back.
