I am so fucking bored. I'm in my HTML class and it's just dragging on. Professor gave us two weeks to do the first lab. Now that the two weeks are up, what is he doing in class? Doing the lab step-by-step for us all on the projector. WHY? I've done this already!

HTML class? I'd love to teach that, but somehow managing to stretch it out a whole semester would be the biggest challenge.

Hmmm...that's odd. The Anti-virus server isn't responding to pings. I wonder what's up?

*goes down to the server room*

Oh, it's at the BIOS screen with a prompt stating Disk 1 needs to be rebuilt. That's not good. I better swap the disk out.

*grabs new hard drive and swaps out a hard disk, then presses F1*

That's really strange. Windows isn't loading. Missing or corrupted Configced file. I'll reboot it.

*Bios Prompt: SCSI disk 0 currently rebuilding*

Wait a minute, that's not right....OH GODDAMMIT! FUCK FUCK FUCK!

My day is off to a terrible start.  :x

It's times like this that make you say things like "yep, good thing I do nightly backups."

Right?

That and "I don't care that they laugh at me for doing nightly backups" =P

(Of course, in a big company, backups are a necesity.  Ensuring the safety of your data is no laughing matter kids! *Cheesey Grin*)

HAHA!! My ferret snores!! I just heard this little, faint "wheeeee....wheeeeee....wheeeee" coming from the direction of her cage. I go over, and she's buried somewhere in the windbreaker she uses for a bed; but you can clearly hear it's her snoring. I just thought that was funny and hadda type it out loud.

Yesterday I mounted my huge Army of Darkness poster I got on eBay. My walls are soft enough that I could push the tacks in with my fingers alone, and I'm not sure that's a good thing. I also got a bottle of ferrofluid and some free neodynium magnets and played around with that stuff for an hour or so. Then I listened to some Hour of Slack and drank some Dr Pepper.

I shouldn't have to use a Windows 2003 CD version of recovery console to fix a Windows 2000 server, but damned if it didn't work. I'm not so much suprised about the OS difference, but that a Microsoft website support article actually was useful.

Hey, it happens... There're like 20 million KB pages. I've found one or two helpful.
