[it's been shared around a lot lately, but Madelyn's post looked nicest].
My machine's watercooling gave up the ghost, and I think there may be some residual fucked-up-ness with my CPU not being able to reach its previous speed. [Dear Santa, I want a Mobile Athlon 2500+ for my Birthday.] But I'm back online after a long, frustrating evening.
K's machine is another story - Gru, what kind of PSU are you using with your Dragon? I've got an Antec 350 and that fucker still won't boot (no error beeps at boot, but "Video Signal Missing" - I don't even see a BIOS flash screen). So I went back to putting my old Epox 8RDA+ in her machine. . . . and it doesn't output a video signal, either. FSCK. I am presently wondering if the Antec is wonky, but have been verboten from fucking with her rig until I get everything else done.
Checklist:
- Laundry [at least my shite]
- Disassemble stereo equipment [to be done while laundry is in process]
- Call GB just in case the house won't be ready for us on 7/24 to look for temporary stuff and us accomodations [4 cats in Haus Westphal might be just a little too, uh, interesting].
- Pull out CDs I sold [if anyone wants the list of disks I'm looking to part with, comment here or email me] to take to dinner.
- Pack or put away all the damn computer parts that are strewn everywhere
Already done:
- Directions to Haus Westphal (a/k/a Gothopia Moonbase I] printed
- Rental truck reservation made
- Mushy phone call with
aishlynn
- Wally World/Dollar General to buy Clotheshangers
- Hit post office to drop stuff for MBI and
mpeace off

In fact, the main road right up from my house is called St. Charles Rock Road. Follow it east towards the city....it changes to MLK. That's the universal signal of "If you're white and it's after 10, do not continue on"
