Fixed at Last
Posted Feb 27, 2000
Finally managed to get my computer in to be fixed. Apparently, it was necessary to switch ports on my hard drive, which resulted in my drive speed being cut in half (I believe this is a bug in the ATA66 driver). It sucks, but I'm glad my computer is now stable. Haven't had a single crash since.

Well, vacation's over and now it's back to work. I did manage to complete Might & Magic VII on the last day of my vacation. I estimate that it occupied about 70% of my waking hours throughout the nine days of my time off. Great game.
Now I've gone and installed Revenant. Oh dear...

Strange Days
Posted Feb 10, 2000
As of yesterday, I have taken nine days vacation. At about this same time, my brand new computer has decided to become particularly flaky - aside from spontaneously crashing for no bloody reason, it has now decided to corrupt the hard drive from time to time, forcing me to re-format the partition and re-install Windows 98. Again. One might think that some bizarre program that I have installed is causing this problem, but I haven't actually gotten to the point of installing anything other than new device drivers. I managed to get to the point of installing my Intellimouse Explorer driver and then the system crashed a couple of restarts later, again corrupting my hard drive and forcing me to start over.
Where did I want to go today? I don't recall wanting to drag my computer to the repair shop today.
At least I managed to back up my important stuff to the Linux partition. Unfortunately, Windows' dictatorial installation rewrites the Master Boot Record and I lose lilo, thus denying me access to Linux until I use my Linux rescue disk, which is currently crashing when I try to use it.
Needless to say, it's certainly been a very relaxing and enjoyable vacation.
