As you can see from the above image, Belldandy is finally revived! It took me a couple months but I finally did it. Hopefully I’ll have some time over the weekend and will be able to get the RO server back up and running. Still a lot of work to do on it but I’m glad that it’s finally operational and semi-working the way I want it to.

I’m waiting on the arrival of a SATA Y-splitter to hook up the last 1TB hard drive that I have. My stupid power supply only has 4 SATA connectors… Ah well, I never thought I was gonna end up with 5 hard drives when I first built this PC.

So I finally got around to working on my desktop, Belldandy, and get it up and running again. It was running Windows XP Professional SP2 before, but it was running really sluggish from all of the use that it got from me doing everything that I do. Several weeks, or I guess months now, I decided that I wanted to reinstall the operating system to make it more stable for users and for myself.

So I was going through some Daft Punk rips that I had and came across this song that I haven’t heard in a while, been listening to it quite a bit even though the lyrics are fairly monotonic.

Buy it, use it, break it, fix it,
Trash it, change it, mail – upgrade it,
Charge it, pawn it, zoom it, press it,
Snap it, work it, quick – erase it,
Write it, cut it, paste it, save it,
Load it, check it, quick – rewrite it,
Plug it, play it, burn it, rip it,
Drag and drop it, zip – unzip it,
Lock it, fill it, call it, find it,
View it, code it, jam – unlock it,
Surf it, scroll it, pause it, click it,
Cross it, crack it, switch – update it,
Name it, rate it, tune it, print it,
Scan it, send it, fax – rename it,
Touch it, bring it, Pay it, watch it,
Turn it, leave it, start – format it.

etc.

So I decided to get back into EVE Online after finding out that someone in the same department had started playing during the summer. I thought it would be better to play along with someone else I knew IRL instead of having to find new friends all over again. We happened to attract attention from a 3rd person and got them started as well. So far it’s been fun, but haven’t been able to play as much as when I first started because of all of the stupid school work… It’s a conspiracy I tells ya!

I finally got around to upgrading my laptop from Vista to Windows 7. So far I like it and a lot of the quirks that were in Vista doesn’t seem to be apparent in 7. It took me a long time to finally convince myself to upgrade to Windows 7 because I wasn’t sure if Windows 7 came with the drivers that were needed for my laptop, and Sony hasn’t put out any Windows 7 drivers. Which doesn’t necessarily mean that the XP/Vista drivers won’t work… I just don’t like taking a wild guess and possible be wrong.
