No...really...

It seems that the rejoicing at my computer's renewed ability to boot up was premature. I've had the use of it back for a while, but it has been slow. I mean really slow. it harkened to my days using the SE 30 I had borrowed from wakanomori to check my email via modem.

I first used disk utility. No change. I then ran disk warrior and it kept hanging up while attempting to read the directory data. Tried that 3 or 4 times. No joy. Today I finally had the bright idea to boot my puter up as a firewire disk and to run DiskWarrior from Misa's IBook.

Voila! No more spinning multi-colored wheel every time I attempt to do anything.

Blogging shall now recommence.

And there was much rejoicing

So three weeks after my computer's impromptu bath, I slapped in the battery (albeit after setting up a new user on Misa's IBook) and it booted.

So far, so good <knocks wood>.

山登り

I'm off to the Southern Alps with Bri. Back Tuesday or Wednesday.

My B-day Party

I'm having a birthday at the beginning of September and we'll be having a party at The Pink Cow on the 1st. If you're gonna come and are thinking about having the buffet, email me at my gmail account before the 22nd of August.

I'm planning to be there around 8:00, if not before.
