Thursday – 11 January 2007
Yesterday wasn’t bad, but I wound down kind of early.  After I made it home (with a Barbacoa steak burrito in hand) I made a drink and my way to Paragon City.  I teamed with a few Super Group members and we took on a couple of Praetorian Arch-Villains, Marauder and Nightstar.  We experienced multiple casualties, but made it through… finally.  By the time I finished the last mission, I was half-playing the game/half-studying my inner eyelids.  I called it a relatively early night.

This morning I was up fairly early.  I started brewing hot caffeination, observed the hygiene rituals and started getting under way… when I realized that Intrepid wasn’t on.  õ,Ô  It was on when I went to bed.  *headscratch*  So, I tried rebooting.  No go, Flight.  Again.  Nothing.  So, I brought it to work so I could try a few things on it.  It’s still kaput – and it may be a problem with the hard drive.  The less-than-a-year-old hard drive.  *sigh*  I’m running tests to see if it’s recoverable to any degree.  This isn’t “bad” news, per se… but it is somewhat annoying.  Most of the things on the drive are easily replaceable, but I have a few things – mostly audio and video files – that may not be quite as easy to recover.

The rest of the work day – including the workout – has been good.

And it’s snowing.
Again.

Back to the grind.

Namaste.
