Today I’m getting things done. I completed the next-to-last of the PD Streaming machines. I did some administrivia and maintenance. I even have plans to do some more… things.

Yesterday, not so much. It was one of those crazy, never a moment’s rest kind of days. Only small fires, but there were an awful lot of them.

And that was just at work.

The hard drive in what we call The Big Computer at home went click-of-death Sunday night, so I went home yesterday to face the task of completely rebuilding the box. No stress, it’s only the sole Internet access computer in the house. This time I went with Windows 2000 Pro instead of the venerable (and finicky) Windows 98 SE. In the process I discovered that the DVD-ROM drive and the (crappy Acer) CD-RW drive refuse to peacefully coexist. So we’ve gone from two hard drives and two CD drives in that computer to one of each. Bleah.

Oh yeah, and half an hour into the process my back went out. It went out in a big, bad, hurtful way. It’s now 18 hours later and my shoulder’s still twinging. Ouch.

So I’m glad it’s Tuesday and not Monday The Thirteenth anymore. The only good to come out of yesterday was dinner at Chang’s with Wendi. Yum.

On a completely unrelated note, I’ve picked out my camera. It’s only a month away…
