(^_^) also, i think i&#8217;ve found a solution for upgrading the poor baby to win 98. first wonderful piece of info &#8211; the hard drive has a perfectly normal PATA pin out! i&#8217;ve got a USB adaptor for laptop drives (obtained for backup purposes) so i can use that to hook it up to my fancy desktop or my newer laptop, and use the CDROMs associated therewith to upgrade! yays! this may work out after all! &#8230; given my history, however, i&#8217;m quite likely to end up with a moderately expensive door stop&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>speaking of dumbassery&#8230; i found a bug on my pants in the car this afternoon and managed to grab the thing before it jumped away, but i clipped all my fingernails off last night, and so i couldn&#8217;t squish it. mom suggested flinging it out the window, so i quickly rolled down the window &#8211; well, hit the button, she&#8217;s got automatic windows &#8211; and flug the bug out the window. however, and here&#8217;s the dumbassery part, in an effort to prevent the bug from jumping back on me, i started to roll the window back up &#8211; WITHOUT TAKING MY ARM BACK IN FIRST. yeah. so now i have nice matching bruises on my right hand from my own stupidity. good to know the universe rewards in kind.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"blogger-labels\">Labels: <a rel='tag' href=\"http:\/\/blog.notuboc.com\/labels\/books.html\">books<\/a>, <a rel='tag' href=\"http:\/\/blog.notuboc.com\/labels\/craft.html\">craft<\/a>, <a rel='tag' href=\"http:\/\/blog.notuboc.com\/labels\/facts.html\">facts<\/a>, <a rel='tag' href=\"http:\/\/blog.notuboc.com\/labels\/stupid.html\">stupid<\/a>, <a rel='tag' href=\"http:\/\/blog.notuboc.com\/labels\/tech.html\">tech<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>makes everything better, don&#8217;t you think?
