No, elephant books.

Ahh, Friday. Friday, Friday, Friday. I like the half day on Friday idea. Its a good scheme. Promotes moral.

The people here keep calling me a "whizz kid". I assume it's because i usually get roped into helping someone and since its all easy stuff, I always know the answer, more or less. Or I know to search help for it. Either that or it's cos I smell of pee.

I think my computer (Takara) is well again. Or at least on the way to recovery. I put a clean, fresh new 80gig (IDE) in as master and reinstalled windows and such. The I added in my old SATAs (2x120gb) and set about copying the files from one to the other. It was taking an age. about 83 minutes quoted to transfer about 8 gig.

Turned out windows decided to default my SATAs to PIO mode, instead of zippy-ninja-speed DMA. And refused to change back to DMA. Long story short, I fixed it. It now transfers full speed. My internet transfers full speed. And I have plenty of space on my HDD.

The plan now is to copy all I need from my old C and D drives (one drive, partitioned) to the now IDE and other SATA and then format it. If I feel really posh, I might concider RAID 0 -ing my SATAs and leaving the IDE as a system drive.

Anyway, enough computer talk. I can see your eyes have glazed over with bordem. That happens. Got some more pics to put up, but I need to reinstall the drivers for my data cable first, and set it all up. I even have photos of Mark Taylor. On a bus! (I was on the same bus, y'see. I didn't just stand on the pavement and wait for him to pass by. That would be wierd.)

I'll post them to Elvis Street when i get the chance. He has no sideburns. None. Shaved right up to the start of his hair line. It was like looking at someone with no eyebrows...you can see something is wierd but your maybe not sure what it is...and then it hits you! I hope its visible in the pics.
