hardware dumbass

hahahaha, I usually rant about how dumb others are however tonight I feel like the dummy. My hard drive packed it in on me and I decided to replace it with a massive Seagate 120GB drive (gotta have a place to store all that "stuff" I need ya know)... I am sure that I will look back on this and laugh at the line "massive 120Gb". Anyways, it took me two hours to figure out that I needed to flash my bios in order for the drive to be recognized by my aging motherboard, I wasted soooo much time that I don't really have, it is kinda funny now but it wasn't a few hours ago. I guess that is just another lesson in patience and tolerance, apparently I have a long way to go....

The house is coming along, jeez, it only took one day to rip out 3 walls and now it looks quite open, you would think it would take longer by looking at the cost of renovations - ha, actually I think we got a really good deal, at least we can trust our contractor, many people can't, I consider myself fortunate to live in a town where there are long time residents that can be relied upon.

I can't find my digital camera so I have no pics to post... although I think someone took some regular pictures , we will have to scan them in after they are developed the old fashioned way, by taking them to the 1 hour photo - hahaha, I must be getting old, I remember when it took a few days to get them back.... ah well, soon we will all be digital. Got lots going on, I hope I will update the blog with interesting things and a new look later in the summer when I am moved in and settled.. then my creativity will soar. I have been thinking of using this as a forum for all things anti-cable, from the poor service to the outragous business pratices to the massive layoffs... let me know what you think....
