Here's the deal...this month was screwed up. I'll post something to tell you about the beginning, but basically I spent all month trying to fix Loki (my computer) because 'intense badness' occured and Windows went boink, essentially bringing Loki down with it.

I meant to have the redesign up New Years Day. But the best laid plans, right? This is finally the redesign, and there is more different than the name and the colors. There's a bigger, bolder difference.

Read on...

Here's to simplicity. Simple colors, simple layout, simple beginning.

And it really is a beginning. My hard drive failed and I have yet to recover any data. A friend said he might be able to save some of the data, but I'm going up to Binghamton at the end of the week and it's unlikely I'll see him. So...let's hope I don't have anything on it I NEED. The webpage was up on the internet, and just about everything was expendable. I'd like my papers from school and all those nice programs I had, but I can probably live without them.

But there is a point in here. I built myself a new computer.

...? You what?

Don't be snide...you heard me...I built myself a new computer. With a little advice on hardware (most of which I didn't follow in favor of the available stuff that I read was good) I built a SWEET computer. I spent days on the internet just looking up 'stuff' about hardware. I've never known so much about hardware before. Ever.

And the computer has...

Pentium II 350
128 megs of PC-100 SDRAM (All on one chip!!!)
8.4 gig hard drive (Partitioned into 4 bite-sized pieces by Windows 95...)
Creative Labs Sound Blaster PCI128
ATI All-In-Wonder Pro (2D and 3D, 8 megs, video capture, TV Tuner)
Adaptec 2940 SCSI thingy
Sony 12x SCSI CD-ROM
Yamaha 4x4x16 SCSI CD-R/CD-RW
Iomega internal SCSI zip drive
This same old NewCom 56K modem...

Hey, when I do something, I do it right...don't I? I am SO happy with this new computer. It's huge. It's powerful. It's WICKED fast. It is the bigger, bolder difference.

Her name is Artemis.

You can't argue with that. The only problem is that she's a virgin goddess...what do I do with the porn?

I'll keep you updated as to updates...expect a few entries to go in out of order, but expect them....
