There’s almost six hours of my life that I’ll never get back. My old hardware knows its time is short, so it decided to do a major fuckup yesterday. First, it lost the NIC, then it said my RAM was bad, then it said I didn’t have any RAM, then it lost the video card and locked me out of GUI login except if I was root. Now it won’t let even root login to a GUI, and it’s locking up on the login screen about 80% of the time. XP sometimes starts, but won’t run for more than a few minutes before it BSODs. Fuck. We’re getting the shipping on my CPU fan bumped up to next day, so hopefully they’ll manage not to screw that up (WHY do they keep making P call to confirm orders? If he didn’t want the fucking things, HE WOULDN’T HAVE ORDERED THEM AND HE’S CONFIRMED ENOUGH ALREADY!) and the fan will be here tmo. The case fans got here yesterday, so all I need is the CPU fan. Still, it’s damned frustrating, and although I can use P’s puter while he’s not here, I don’t have one for tonight (can’t even get a LiveCD to work because it’s not a HD problem), so I dunno what I’m going to do. Just….fuck.
