So, I slept- brokenly- until about 10pm last night/today. I'm currently doing another run-through on the fic archive; I'd thought Septetmber 2002 was the last time I had, but it seems I made it about halfway through again by January 10 2003.
anyway. I'm just updating names and number and bright blue embolding the new additions to the archive, not actually reading them yet.
65 new accounts - if not neccessarily entirely new writers as some people have opened second accounts under slightly different names- bring us up to 300 authors between A and Ka. At present, that's a total of 569 authors, but obviously does not include anyone new in the past two years between Ka and Z.
And someone wanna tell me something? there's 45 of you who have me on your friends list. I just updated my own list a bit. But 45 of you, and I get maybe one response a week to my posts even when I was posting regularly. Dude. Am I that boring?
ANYway. So my computer problems. dead, fixed, dead again...so after about eight failed attempts to re-load Win2k two days ago, I decide to...try to re-load Win2k again!!
And I'll be damned, but it actually WORKED tonight. I've been defragging for six hours now, and am getting a bit close to being done...my defragment program hadn't worked in a little over a year under winME, see.
And I deleted the 19.2 gigs of music and video files. I'd already burned them all to disk a month ago when things started to go wrong but...I mean, I knew I had a lot, but nearly 20 gigs?!? That's 1/3 of my hard drive. O_O
Soon I will have to re-load all my programs. We're trying to get DSL, like, tomorrow...so downloading that which I don't have back-up discs for shouldn't be too difficult.
The kittens stayed over again, an unprecented third night in a row. The cuteness levels in the apartment is rising. Unfortunately, so is the flea level. Tomorrow we Frontline and Vaccuum! and hopefully get back to art, my current planned entry for the MGC has been in the works for coming on three years now. I still don't think I'm good enough to color it to do the idea justice, but I can hardly hand this one off to Dreamie. : \
Incidentally...no, wait. I'll tell you on the tenth. I gotta order them today anyway.
