hard drive report

Hello to chaos_rose. Welcome to the rambles, pull up a chair, grab yourself a beverage of your choice...

Well, Mr. Rudbek and I have managed to back up the data from Bianca the laptop onto my secondary hard drive. Norton SystemWorks 3.0 did not work, but Norton SystemWorks 2.0 did. 59,020 files cross-linked on Bianca, the blasted little !@#$%^&*()_+!!!! Thank God and St. Isidore (unofficial patron saint of the internet) that I have a desktop (eMac, named Genevieve) and a secondary hard drive (60 GB, named Mithrandir) as well as the laptop. Now I get to wait until Norton Disk Doctor 2.0 is done running before I can see about the presentation...

I have gacked some new icons from fharraige and pulled out some of the ones from trickofthedark. Now that we have 15 icons to play with, I'm going to put a few more on.

Other Things I Really Did Not Need To Have Happen: I was called for jury duty, and will be on call this Tuesday & Wednesday. I think that all I'll have to do is show up at the courthouse and tell them I'm a law student, and the lawyers will all reject me on voir dire. I know too much now, and I cannot be molded...*eg*

I am still all logy from the antihistamine and the running around. However, this presentation is due on Monday. Fortunately, my professor did get back to me and told me to cut a good many things out, so that it would stay at 10 pages.

It is overcast & chilly here, but no snow or rain as of yet.

Notre Dame takes on Brigham Young University this afternoon, in one hour from now.

Off I go to figure out what I need to do today...

Edited to add: Rode the trainer this morning, averaging 12.5 miles/hour for 48 minutes.

hard drive saga continued...

Well, I wound up reformatting the drive. I have saved the data to Mithrandir, so I am not too, too, out of luck on the data preservation front. I am ordering another small, portable hard drive tonight. So now OS 9 and OS 10.1 are back up on Bianca. Now to re-install Jaguar, Microsoft Office, etc....

edited to add progress report: Jaguar is re-installed & updated to OS 10.2.8. Now to re-install Microsoft Office and Norton SystemWorks 3.0, and then to start transferring files back from Mithrandir.

And Notre Dame beat Brigham Young 33-14. Now Stanford and Syracuse are the only two games left....

To-do list:
1) make to-do list
2) Finish restoring laptop back to working order
3) Clear music off Genevieve so that I have some GB free...
4) Work on licensing presentation
5) Work on IPLR Comment
6) Outlining
7) Letters. Finish. Send Out.
8) Laundry

The Snape and Potter Sing-Along got a fair amount of reviews. However, today has been rather email-silent. Which is probably good in terms of dealing with the laptop.

Second edit, 10:46 p.m.
The bookmarks and address books are synchronized. I finally bit the bullet and signed up for .Mac so I could synchronize the two computers more easily. And I am getting somewhere on the laundry.
