Two down, one to go …

My brother got married yesterday, to a lovely girl (woman) called Claudi. The venue was awesome, as was the food and the service (both the church and the restaurant service). Harrison's on 12th, in Rivonia, gets two thumbs up. I even proposed a little toast to my mother and the bride and groom.

Assuming my backups work (I still don't have a stable system to test), and assuming I can't recover my two months of data loss now, I have some software to rewrite. Yay, etc.

Now two of four drives aren't detecting in the BIOS. I am very unhappy.

Computers suck

Here I sit, having repaired what Parallels did to M's new iMac, only to find coincidentally that my own 300GB drive had failed. Naturally, this was the drive containing my personal data, so I am wildly enamoured as you can imagine.

Windows and me

P35 motherboard, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.6GHz, 4GB RAM, 2 x 500GB HDD, 1 x 80GB HDD, 1 x 300GB HDD, 2 x 19" LCDs (when M gets his iMac, I get his screen), and all of that ruined by Windows Vista.

Vista and fonts

My fonts are corrupting again in Vista, the cause of the reinstall last time. I've decided to remove all fonts pre 2006 in the Fonts folder for now to see if that helps.

Frustration

I'm trying to clean up some music on my iMac, to keep bitrate and sampling consistent, etc. In my experience, I've found MusicMatch to be the fastest way to resample MP3s, with its built-in converter. Problem is, the latest version doesn't work on Windows Vista. That's the first problem.

Studying and other things

My last exam is Criminology, which I write tomorrow morning. Then I will spend the rest of the day writing a script for work, for an industrial theatre piece our team is putting on next week.
