After a great deal of irritation, nail-breaking, incomprehensible problems and a lot of help from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dodgyhoodoo, I finally got the Frankenbox back online and working normally. I still haven't reconnected the old DVD drive but frankly, I'm happy with what I have at the moment. I'll work on the rest of the hardware when things aren't so up in the air. For the moment, it's setting things up the way I used to have them -- get Trillian back up, make sure what I just downloaded as a DivX driver means I can actually play my Sims 2 stuff, that kind of thing. Of course, it would be nice if my wireless connection was the remotest bit reliable, but what are you gonna do?
Great News
The references came through just fine, and from what the landlord was saying, we can move into the new place next weekend. I'm going to wait until we've signed the paperwork before I really firm up move-in date, but all the same, I'm all of a *squee*. I brought flowers to Ganesh, as he's been pulling so much overtime on our behalf lately.
Bad News
Not quite enough overtime, though. Still no Yuki in the flat with us. She is getting fussed like mad this week. *sniffle* I'm going to miss my little furry miscreant. Oh well;dodgyhoodoo is probably enough of an attention-suck for any sane person. Heh.
So today I'm supposed to be going to see Constantine withdodgyhoodoo, weaselbitch, Kat and Mark. Want to stay in and fuss the kitten, not to mention getting the damnable Frankenbox to work right. But it's a social thing and social things are nice. Besides, I don't want to wind up the last one left who hasn't seen it, as happens with so many films lately, and then wind up having to wait for it to come out on DVD because I hate going to the cinema alone and be left out of all conversation concerning the film in pre-game faff-lunch sessions.
You'd think someone who's had as little sleep as I have over the past few days wouldn't have the energy to babble on like that, right?
