Just the briefest little update for anyone trying to reach me today...

As anyone who regulars my haunts knows by now, my primary harddrive has been corrupted (bad sectors) for months now. It's caused no end of troubles including a horrid, general instability with the entire system.

I'm happy to report that my Love spent many hours here (having arrived after work at five and only leaving a few moments ago) fixing it for me. I'm now the proud owner of a 19gig primary harddrive with {most} all of my vital backups (html, pages, images, photos, etc) still on my meagerly tiny 3gig harddrive. Both are successfully in place. However, anyone who understands what changing harddrives from a fresh format means knows that I have A LOT to go back in and restore. From redownloading programs (like WinAmp, WinZip, etc.) to reconfiguring my email, to installing the NUMEROUS programs from Office, to Photoshop, to Paintshop, etc.

In short, I have A LOT of work to do tonight getting everything back in place.

I'm sure there's things I forgot to save (probably icq contacts or something) so bear with me. I'll have a nice, longer posts on the merits of his help once I'm up and more back to normal. It's always so weird when you start with a new harddrive again. Things seem so new and fresh. Weird. :)
