Well it seems that I'm just not supposed to have a second harddrive and XP. It's not that my system can't handle it - in fact, it's a pretty decent system since it's mostly all Love's pc parts after my original one died. Not the best out there, but damned impressive for me. - it's just that we always run into absurd problems. This time, both harddrives my Love was formatting for me to use as my secondary (one a 40gig and his old primary and the other a 20 gig and his secondary) won't format. They crap out. And for some reason, that ellusive overheating issue creeps up during the format attempts and causes errors and even reboots! Bah. I can run my pc for 12 hours and not run into the problem, but he tries to format a HD and suddenly, poof, there it is. And it's a brand-new, all tricked out case. I think it's just the power either in this room, or in this apartment. I think it's too surgey. There's literally no hardware failure or reason for it.
Anyway, so he just stuck my existing drive in for the moment so I could nose back around the net. He's enjoying himself some new season of Celebrity Poker Showdown, which, while the players can sometimes be amusing, is damned boring to me 'cause I, quite frankly, couldn't care less about poker. Yawn. Watching other people play poker on tv. Ooh, hold me back.
He might take the computer into work tomorrow to test it out there. Keep in mind folks, this is what he does for a living! He actually manages the in-house pc support department and he and his two employees keep over 500 pc's up and running. So it's not like he's clueless, just that weird shit always seems to happen with our upgrade attempts. It's the damndest thing.
I picked up some more of the black-with-silver-glittery clay that sold so well and some really neat metallic red so I'm going to make some more of those to replace the ones that sold. Seems every time I try to get all funky people are like, eh, but when I go kinda basic and bland, they buy it up. Oh well. Heh. Keep in mind some only have ONE DAY LEFT! So now's the time to stop watching them, and start bidding. (Yeah, I see you over there adding it to your watch list!)
What's weird is I don't have to get up and take Love into work tomorrow. They're done with my building's roof. (I'm sure they're moving on to the next one, but hopefully, it will be tolerable.) So I can stay up 'til whenever I want and sleep in. Of course, this is a hella fun week - I have pretty much an entire apartment to pack AND...if that weren't fun enough, it's, ya know, that week. Bah. Cramps and packing - joy.
Alrighty, now that you've had FAR too much information for the night, I'm out for now.
