Advantage of a webcam mirror…

Thanks to the delay caused by the computer, unlike a real mirror, you can see yourself with your eyes closed =p

They Shoot Hard Drives, Don’t They?

Monday, December 14th, 2009

I’ve been getting a blue-screen warning of hard drive failure about once a week, but the box kept soldiering on, so I put off swapping out the HD.  Last week, a new laptop HD was on my shopping list, but I forgot the list at home, and didn’t get one.

Tonight, it finally bit the permanent big one.  Lucky me, I had a spare laptop HD, so I just have to reinstall an OS and essential apps.  It is a little odd to be replacing a drive from 2005, with a drive from 2000….that made a noise if I turned it on it’s side.  eh, it’s not an important box.
