Update #2 from the metaphorical not-really-trenches.

Got commentary on my monthly progress report back. Things look good. In practice, this means I now have eighteen million other projects on my plate.

YAY!

In other news, I have finally seen Battlestar Galactica, and--just--damn. Another sci-fi TV show that I can watch! Whee! Though sadly none of them push my OMG PRETTEH button the way Sheppard from SG:A does.

Not even, you know, Jamie Bamber. That's just WRONG.

Also I am making my family watch Due South with me.

*smug*

Mom is with me in liking Kowalski when we compare Rays. I think it's possibly the blond thing. I myself am fond of the jittery energy. Also I think the original Vecchio suffers, in my eyes, because sometimes his clothes burn my retinas with their bright colors. Still, I am very fond of the first two seasons. Even though I have not seen Some Like It Red (which is I think the girl!Fraser one, with the nuns?)

In non-fannish news, loss of my old computer means all my music is gone! *sob* I am still pondering obtaining an external hard-drive and switching the files over. I mean . . . there's a lot of iTunes paid-for music on there. I don't really want to have to replace it.

Ah, well. So it goes.

Um. Are you planning on keeping and/or trying to do anything at all with the laptop? If not, here's what you do. Take it to a computer shop, have them rip the thing open. Slave the hard drive to another hard drive there, or somebody's computer you know, transfer whatever music/text/pictures/videos/stuff you want/need, and burn that to a CD or move it to your new laptop with a flash drive. I'm sure there's an easier way to do it, but I don't think they can slave the hard drive directly to your new one without opening up the new one, which would be even more money. But, yeah, so long as it was power or screen or some kind of other failure, it's easy peasy to get the information off of the old hard drive.

I think I'm trying to decide whether or not I want to get the power coupling thingy fixed or not. Because the rest of the computer is fine. Hmm. Things to ponder.

*snugs*

Thanks, sweets. You are helpful!

:-D I try. I've had computers die on me many times before. And yes, it's disheartening (not to mention expensive) but unless it's the hard drive itself that's gone, all is not lost. :-D

No. All is not lost! All shall never be lost!

Oh god I am so bored and stir-crazy. Stupid stupid stupid liquid nitrogen. Argh.

Stupid stupid copper (I) bromide.

Why do you make me run my reaction with freeze-pump-thaw? WHY?
