my workspace isn't set up and probably won't get set up here at all, so i have a tabletop on the floor where my workbench should be. i had to squat to fix the windows 98 pc. it's booting into windows 98, i just have a few more minor tasks to finish before i can put it back where it was. this is a major relief for me. i actually had a god cry when it didn't boot, but i'm under a lot of stress.
last night was so disgusting it triggered my asthma, even with the windows open. i slept all day. i'm waking up limp like i should, but i can also hear them talking when i wake up, tricking themselves into thinking their therapy was successful because i stopped yelling at them, and it's extremely disconcerting.
i had a lot of things to do this week. after i get the studio area cleaned back up, i'll need to take the gparted cd (which i was taking out of the windows 98 pc. it sits in there because the machine does have a windows xp partition, and i find the best way to dual boot is to go into gparted and change the boot partition. the only other way that i know of is to install grub in a linux partition, but i'm actually using a pata hard drive (it's a p3b-f. this is a very good asus board from the late 90s. it has ide channels, no sata. so the dvd players are ide, too. it has a floppy connector.) and it's only about 80 gb. the triple boot with a linux partition might make sense if i had a larger drive, or wanted to use two drives. but my old psu couldn't handle two hard drives and two dvds at the same time. it doesn't matter. i need the machine to run the soundblaster live! with the input bay, which i need to finish period 3 recording projects. it will need to hold out at least that long.) back to the windows 7 laptop and see if i an get my usb key back.
i need the xp partition because windows 98 has difficulty reading usb keys. it can barely read dvd players. the board has two usb 1.1 slots on the back.
i need to get out to do things this weekend, hopefully. i am feeling and looking better, i just need my hair to behave.
