RUUUUUUUULE


music: mixed cd (right now bjork's "hyperballad")
volume: was loud, but soft for austin on the phone for food


HOLY SHIT. i fixed my fucking computer. i'm so happy. for those of you who haven't been following, before the year even really started my computer fried itself while i was out for the day....i cam back and there was an orange light where the power light is usually green. i tried to manually shut it down and it didn't respond...so finally i pulled the plug. and then it wouldn't turn on again so it's been dormant ever since.

i finally got the motivation to go looking for another power source, 'cause i thought that it got a power surge and fried it. EITHER way, i finally started looking for a replacement 'cause i'm a cheap bastard. i checked the computer graveyard under mudd....all i found were skeletons. seriously EVERYTHING was stripped out of those. motherboards and all. i think i found some sound cards and an ancient harddrive.

i finally found one sitting on the side of the street, already busted open and partially stripped. all that was left was the motherboard, soundcard, cd and floppy, and, low and behold, the FUCKING POWER SOURCE. awesome.

so i brought the entire thing back home 'cause i didn't have a screwdriver on me and good thing i did, 'cause it turns out that not only was the powersource burnt, but also the switch. it was an extremely long and painful process for me to figure this out, of course....probably about four hours in all between last night and tonight. but it's up and running. a little bit flaky...but that's to be expected after being UNPLUGGED about a hundred times 'cause i couldn't manuallys hut it down.

i'm so psyched.

so what i'm gonna do now is clean it up...make sure the drives are okay, backup all my personals (music, movies, docs....porn of course) and reformat one of the partitions and reinstall windows XP..'cause my version actually isn't legitimate and won't accept some security patches i need...

so yeah, i'm up and running again : )

SOOOO happy with myself.

that brings my list of fixed electronics up to....two. haha.
