Some additional notes…
The problem with the blog… the partition on my Powerbook I keep my blog on… something went wrong with it last night. A huge chunk of it is unreadable. And a ton of files were in that spot… including the database file containing my daily blog entries. And my backup was 4 days old. Fortunately, my fics are stored elsewhere.
(I have a new/larger drive waiting to be installed but there are warrantee issues… and the whole — Apple doesn;t design their laptops to have user upgradable hard drives. Add memory? No problem. Add a wireless card? Sure. Change the battery. Not a big deal. Replace/upgrade the hard drive? Expect to spend an hour with a screw driver just taking it apart. There must be over 50 screws to take out to get to the hard drive. Yikes!)
I backed up everything important tonight… but there are a bunch of programs I’ll have to reinstall when I replace the hard drive (though if I want to use them, I have them installed on my mini so it isn’t a big deal.)
