Revisiting the list – yet again.

Posted on July 27, 2004September 5, 2011 By admin 18 Comments on Revisiting the list – yet again.

While browsing FARK this morning, I came across this lovely lass:

Hmmm, redhead and leopard print. Hits some major buttons :)

So now, list must stand as such:

1. Alyson Hannigan
2. Neve Campbell
3. Alicia Witt
4. Kate Beckinsale
5. Charlize Theron

With Jeri Ryan as #1 alternate.

I'm in the doghouse at work

Posted on July 27, 2004 By admin 6 Comments on I'm in the doghouse at work

Bossman informed me that I'm getting into work too late in the morning.

Considering I don't care about my job anymore and I'm not a morning person, I consider coming into work before noon a major achievement.

So now I have to be in earlier.

Bleh.

The drive is dead, long live the drive.

After trying every trick I knew, I still can't boot onto that drive. I vented my frustration on it. Sadly, I only had my leatherman available at the office. I could have done more carnage at home. Still, this'll have to do.


Just a side note, when was the last time *you* did a backup?

My hardware is conspiring to drive me nuts!

damndamndamndamndamn!

I finally got the HD installed on a server at the office to try and salvage what data I can. As soon as I put it in the box and reboot, all hell breaks loose. Windows informs me that there's data corruption on that HD, and running checkdisk would be a Very Good Thing ™. I start one. There are roughly 10,000 bad sectors on that disk. After two hours of Michel and I tossing a frisbee back and forth in the office, checkdisk was still trying to fix the HD. I'm not optimistic.

When I get home, after drowning my sorroes in scotch with Michel, I tried to logon to my wireless network at home. I was never able to. I tried to fight with it, but it won, and I'm really not in the mood for it tonight. So now I'm using my network cable, which is hanging across my room and is tempting Boris to act naughtily towards it – behaviour I'm trying to avoid at all costs.

Anyway, I checked my email, and now I'm going to bed. Night all.

Quote of the day

Everything starts somewhere, though many physicists disagree. But people have always been dimly aware of the problem with the start of things. They wonder how the snowplough driver gets to work, or how the makers of dictionaries look up the spelling of words.
--(Terry Pratchett, Hogfather)
