The Octagon Bar-Stop on by while the boss isn't looking!

I'm about to start PMSing and am getting sleepy.


Sleepiness at 11:30 for me is like a dream come true. Believe me.

Ok, I hope the computer peeps are around right now...

I'm getting a second hard drive installed next weekend and my uncle is asking if I want this new one as my boot drive or just as my second drive? I really don't want to have to reinstall everything, so would it be easier to have the new drive as my second drive? I know I'm still gonna have to move iTunes over to the new drive, since I want to put more music on my comp, but that's all I'll really want to move onto a fresh drive. When I go to save new stuff will I have a choice as to which drive I can save it to? :notcomputerliterate:

Does this make sense? Do people usually make their new drives their boot drives? Or are they lazy like me? lol

What I find works best, is I have two HDDs. One is a 40GB drive that I have Windows installed on, and most of my programs. Then I have a 200GB secondary drive. I have iTunes keep all my music on the secondary drive (you'll have to drag your iTunes music folder over to the new drive and it'll take a few minutes to copy, then you need to change the iTunes options to look for music on the new drive). I also keep all my various downloads and stuff on the second drive. The advantage is, if the first drive dies, the second drive still has all your stuff.

So in a nutshell, just make it your secondary drive, and leave your current boot drive alone.

Also I just want to say, so far Season 5 of The West Wing, appears to be in decline. It's disturbing. It used to be so good, and now, not as good.

I SO do not want to be at work today.

Oh yeah, good morning, Bar.

[U2Girl1978]

I'm so glad it's friday! I get to see my man this weekend.

 

[pax]

I'm glad it's Friday, too...we have a VERY special day this weekend.

 

[U2Girl1978]

Yay! Happy 6 months!

 

[pax]

Thank you. I was thinking this morning...wow, he's been in my life for most of this year! We started talking mid-January, I think. I had very little 2005 without Ewen, LOL...and I'm happy about that.

Happy 6 months, Ewbby.


I am officially starting my "lose my fat ass" campaign today.

 

[U2democrat]

At least you have an ass. I've got nothin.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

*loans out part of my ass to Laura*

I've got plenty more to spare! Any takers? LOL

 

[U2democrat]

thanks!

 

[pax]

Congratulate the other half, too! Even though he's not here. Probably still asleep, LOL.

 

[U2democrat]

well i'll leave this for when he wakes up.


CONGRATULATIONS!

 

[U2democrat]

[U2democrat]

my cat's being demanding. she's so cute when she flops over on her side, looks up with those big golden/green eyes...leans her head back and goes "MOW!"

 

[U2democrat]

I had to get something. I forget what. I've been injected with so many infectious diseases in my life that I just don't bother keeping track anymore.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Bye Laura!

*waves as she fills up her gigantic water bottle*

I've got half a six pack of Guinness, a six pack of Killian's, margaritas and Bacardi at home, and it's killing me that I can't drink any of it.

 

[U2Girl1978]

I'm gonna drag some people to go drinking tonight.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I should hurry up and finish the 5th Harry Potter book already. It's killing me, not being able to go into the 6th book thread.

 

[U2Girl1978]

I haven't read any of them. I'm reading Jennifer Weiner's Little Earthquake right now.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I was on a huge reading kick last month and the month before that, but now it's just HP and I haven't picked that up in almost a week.

 

[U2Girl1978]

Sometimes I'll read 3 or 4 books in a mth and then take some time off of reading. I have wayyyy too many books to read.

 

[pax]

I've been on a poetry reading kick lately--Neruda mixed with the great Scottish poets Burns and Stevenson.

 

[U2Girl1978]

I would love to have poetry read to me.... Maybe I should give the guy I'm seeing a hint.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Same here. I have so many books to read it's not funny.

 

[U2Girl1978]

I need a bookshelf badly.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I have two and they're both filled. And I have a box stashed away in my closet of books I didn't really feel the need to have out anymore.


Well, to be fair, the second bookshelf has a fan, videos, and photo albums in it, along with a good number of books.
