  • 03:05 Taking the few solid locked ideas I had for sa06, trying to mesh them into a plot. Find the right angle. Do something different. Original. #
  • 13:53 My cellphone company has failed me AGAIN. They can’t transfer my phone number for some arcane reason. My one-phone plans have collapsed. #
  • 16:20 SATA hard drive installation failure. I didn’t have the right little bits of plastic to mount the drive. Time for a trip to the compy store. #
  • 16:43 You’ve GOT to be kidding. Last person who owned this phone number apparently has a lot of deadbeat debts and I’ve been getting HIS CALLS. #

Moore’s Law pretty much guarantees that you will, probably with something you can scarcely imagine right now (3D movies?); and that by that time, there will be an even bigger replacement option.

No doubt. Just copying back some stuff I’d offloaded to save space, and reinstalling a bunch of Steam games (I moved my whole Steam installation to the new drive) has eaten up 200 gigs. Dang.
Once I start doing video library rips and other big ticket items, and installs of stuff like Bioshock 2, well…
