This gets the “crap” category only because it’s not server/workstation related.

I’ve managed to score a nice contract job with a company in Toronto through Saucyvixen doing Networky type things. It is a limited contract, and once the work is done, I’m done… but I’m having a great time. It’s so nice to be doing what I went to school for, and everyone here is cool to the extreme.

Going back to just doing retail is going to be hell, after this taste of freedom…

First off:

From that picture, the 17 gb drive seems to have died, taking may Anime episodes and some applications with it. The 20 gb IBM DeathStar is going strong, so that’s all good.

Having the 17 gone leaves me with the required extra Moldex connector and IDE channel for the 80 gb drive I’ll be getting from Auslander when I’m unpoor.

Having found a Maxtor 15 gb hard drive in the Hard Drive Box ‘O Doom, I now have a working OS (after installing it twice… Can’t have the OS on Q: after all!) Thanks to Partition Magic I was able to kill the 8 partitions that was gobbling all the space on my 40 gb drive. I’ve also been able to make my two 80 gb drives primary, and use all the space on the drive (no 7.8 mb unallocated for me!) even thought that takes like 9 or 10 hours to accomplish.

All that’s left is to reconnect the 17 gb drive I pulled to make room for the 15 gb boot drive, and check it’s partition status and I’m done!
