All Quiet on the Home Front

I haven't written much lately 'cause there hasn't been much to write. The past few days have been blissfully calm.

My big excitement was picking up a 320 GB disk off eBay Sunday evening (should be delivered any time now) and a 500 GB disk at MicroCenter yesterday. The 320 GB disk is destined to upgrade my iMac as the contents of iPhoto and iTunes are severely overwhelming the older 60 GB disk.

The new 500 GB disk is currently being used to upgrade the 80 GB disk in my older XP box. Partition Magic has partitioned & formatted the disk; the partition copy operation is still in progress. Once it's done, I'll be able to consolidate all of the data into a single location once again. Yay!

The old network switch has been giving me problems too so I think I'll be popping out to MicroCenter for a replacement...

I can't *possibly* imagine what you would need all of that disk space for....*cough*

On the iMac, it's iPhoto and iTunes which are hogging all the disk space. On the XP box, it's... other stuff.

Considering iTunes can track "movies" and iPhoto can track pr0n stills, claiming that those are your major disk hogs isn't as innocent-sounding as you might think.

Wow. You live such a wild life.

Wasn't there supposed to be a wedding in Cleveland last week?

The wedding has been punted to early 2009... there are too many other demands on too little money right now to allow for a decent wedding. Still, they could just drive to the local justice of the peace for a town hall ceremony.

ah. I thought I'd just overlooked something.

Or NEVER!!!
I'm hoping for NEVER because as we all know, they are so messy to undo, especially if it's later instead of sooner!

AAAAaaahhh! so you could loose all of the data in one fell swoop. Yay!

Not a chance. We call them "backups"... it's a geek thing.
