Well, the hardware engineering types came by last week and tested my old notebook and said that the motherboard (and, more specifically, the hard drive controller) was A-OK. So I’m getting a replacement hard drive toward the end of the week, and I get to move out of the Holiday Inn and back into my New (But Empty) Home, to be followed by the requisite wallpapering and recarpeting … again.<\/p>\n
*Sigh*<\/p>\n
A moderately busy week ahead. Trying desperately to get back on top of things at work, since I basically lost half of last week. Lectoring at church tonight for Margie and me. Friday’s off, at least for me, and then a busy Easter weekend.<\/p>\n
On the to-do list (at least the to-do list worth quoting here) are an upgrade here to MT 2.0, and all the coolness thereof, and getting some work done on my game in a couple of weeks (7 April). Oh, and getting my personal stuff back onto my Not-New, Improved, Hopefully-Not-Crashing-Again Notebook.<\/p>\n
One minor change at the same time is a self-imposed restriction on the breakfast room table. I’ve been essentially using it as a desk for the past several months, WLANning over to Margie’s computer for my Internet connection. I’ll still be doing that, but I have to be sure to clean it up for meals, since we are now (miracle of miracles) eating at the table, since Katherine<\/i> is eating at the table, rather than in the high chair. Good stuff, good development, good habit, but it will make the home computing thing a bit more complex.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
