technology…our friend?

man… i guess when things go bad they go bad. not much you can do. the last week has been one of those “what the hell….?” kinda weeks.

after a pretty crazy weekend i set about doing some work on monday here at the home office. i was working on a few different files and listening to some music. all of a sudden my machine freaked out, hung up, and i had to manually kill the power. on restart all i got was a flashing folder/question mark icon (i’m on a mac). great… hard drive failure.

it was probably about time for this. the machine was a used one, purchased on ebay. no telling exactly how old it was.

thankfully i had everything backed up.

so yesterday i went out and picked up a new machine. i spent the better part of the day getting all the necessary system files transferred over. so now i’ve got a faster machine with all of my settings back. smaller hard drive but oh well.

technology is a lifesaver and a pain in the ass. that’s all i’m going to say about that.
