The Frankenbox, she dead.
Well, there's a fair bit of bad news going on, geek-wise. After some serious hunting, I finally found the RAM I was looking for, took it home ... and the decision was made to move the Frankenbox to a new case. This did not work out; now no mobo we've tried will read either HD. This, as you can imagine, has caused some serious stress. I like my Frankenbox. All my music's on it, and my Sims shit. On the plus side, we've managed to back everything up -- so far as we can tell, nothing's wrong with the discs as far as data corruption goes; they just won't boot. We're looking at a total purge and reinstall now. I'm not happy. I was particularly not happy when iMisc started throwing a hissy fit and wouldn't connect to the Internet, but I seem to have fixed this now, hence my being able to post this.
In other news, my throat hurts like buggery and my sinuses are in a bad way. I think I'm getting the tonsillitis again. Argh. I don't need this.
Well, the last bit of news is that I got bored with the blonde (and the inch and a half of root showing) and have spent the past several days trying to locate my natural hair colour in a bottle. It has taken this long because damnit, my hair is weird. It's not quite plain brown but it's not that close to mahogany or golden brown either. I think I've found something close in a golden brown but ... well, it'll do, anyway. So now I have another 15 minutes or so with more shit in my hair just so I can look about how I used to. Whee.
