A New Computer is a Blank Slate
Friday, 1 June 2007 19:00Too blank, actually. I have Firefox installed and all my favorite bookmarks cannot be found. Garret hooked up my old hard drive so I could access my folders, but searching through them I could not find any file that contained any of my old bookmarks. The old version of FF does not launch anymore. In hindsight I probably should have bothered to export them before I took the old machine apart, or started looking for the bookmarks file before I installed FF on the new hard drive. I'm a little irritated at that.
So here I go. I get to reinstall Office, Sonar, PhotoShop, The Sims, City of Heroes/Villans, and everything else I can remember as I remember I need it, and then copy over all my other files into their special places on my Spanky New Computer. Oh yeah, I also need to figure out how to get my sound card to work. I hope it works. It's an expensive sound card.
TextLJ has limitations. The two times I managed to write something longer than my phone's screen will show at once, I sent off my entry and it never posted. So if you see a post that's only a couple of lines -- that's me from my phone. I am not comfortable making personal posts to LiveJournal from work and haven't been for a while. Comments, sure. I don't have to login to comment.
The official word on my job is that it is easier than testing (so far). I imagine this will change soon. On Monday, when everything is probably going to be ka-RAY-zee, I will ask for more work and then immediately regret it. That will be an adventure.
