Thursday
I’m up MUCH later than I should be. But, if it comes down to it, I’ll purge the blood my caffeinestream on the way to work.

The day was pretty average. Nothing to write home or “get hung about,” as the boys from Liverpool once put it.

After work, I went to CompUSAirways to pick up a motherboard. Of course, the store that I went to had everything but the one that I wanted/needed. So, I wound up going to their other local location. They had the board, but their price was a little high on memory. After a quick call to to ask him to check prices, I headed to Best Buy to get a stick of memory. They had it. It even has a rebate. I’m happy. After dinner, I set about lobotomizing ‘Nine. Yet again. After all was said and done, she’s ship-shape (or “station-shape,” I guess). Pretty much all that’s left to do is to reinstall some applications.

And with the new core for ‘Nine, I was left with a fully-functional, but not-soon-to-be-used and not-terribly-old motherboard and processor. So, I’m replacing the system that I was building for with that. Which means:

  1. I don’t have to finish troubleshooting the original board that I was giving her and
  2. I’ll have it all wrapped up and ready to go by tomorrow night.
