Laptop working; Family visit; Cat & Vet
Aug. 20th, 2003 07:44 pmIt's been a long, full, busy weekend/week, and it'd be hard to try to remember enough to recap what-all happened, so I'll just hit the high points.
I got my laptop back working again, thanks to Disk Warrior. I ended up having to reinstall OS 9 and 10 from scratch, more or less, but it worked out okay in the end. I'm still planning to get a new hard drive for it at some point when my budget can afford it. In the mean time, I'll just try to get into the habit of backing important stuff off of it to the hard drive of my main computer from time to time.
I managed to get Starcraft working on the laptop, too. The reason it wouldn't work was one of those PEBKAC errors—Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair. The instructions for how to install it mentioned both the Starcraft folder, and the Starcraft Files folder within the Starcraft folder, and I was copying the files into the wrong one. :P
( Weekend (Dad's birthday); Kitty veterinary visit )
At any rate, today's been a long day full of much running around, and I'm exhausted. I'm just gonna kick back, have a beer, maybe play some Starcraft...
