computers shit me more than words can say.
despite the fact that the recent rainy weather has been a more than welcome change and much needed, it's played havoc with our technology department here at Camp Ward. both the pcs have needed surgery in some way shape or form. the multimedia pc chicked a hissy and decided that it didn't like the new age of empires and hung windows: dead. repair didn't work, so a complete reinstall without reformatting occurred, which was fine til we tried reinstalling all the video and audio drivers. so, major back up session of c: drive occurred, and we're STILL stuck with 65G of stuff that can't be moved over to d: because we've alread filled the 200G it can hold.
i now laugh at patrick for saying "No" to the 1.24TERABYTE raid system he COULD have bought instead (despite the fact that it meant an extra $3000 more than what we finally paid and a huge pile of extra software).
i don't know what the final outcome of that situation was, but the 'Net pc has been a MEGA BITCH. crashing before loading, not transmitting video to the monitor but loading fine. not bothering to load, freezing just after load. we blame server 2003, so we went back to XP which made no difference. though, it does appear to have sorted itself out for now. of course, the reinstall of XP meant the deletion of our linux grub boot loader thingy (my jargon is quite crap) and we now don't have access to Ubuntu (that I can see).
anyway, it's working now, it's loaded Age of Empires III, and i'm hoping that when i'm finished here I can have a play.
more about non nerd related things at a more sober and rested time.
til next....
