My Hard Drives Are Good!

Hooray! The porn is safe! And so is all the music, my “personal backup” DVD collection and my other documents as well.

Before heading to the tattoo shop this morning, I slaved both of my hard drives into the Husbear’s computer. (I was trying to keep myself preoccupied in an attempt to stop thinking about the hangover I had from a night of drinking.) Both disc drives are totally accessible! All my zeros and ones are exactly where they should be, plus or minus a quantum fluctuation here and there.

Tonight I will tackle getting my email back up and running.

I left the 500GB porn drive slaved in to his computer. I’m sure he wouldn’t like to be without his porn until I can get around to building myself a new computer.

Yes… you read that correctly: I have half a Terabyte of porn. One could call it a hobby. Really I’m just attempting to archive all the great Internet porn before it gets deleted by the Religious not-Right.

Maybe I’ll soon build that home media server to back up all my bits to. And then I can stream porn all around the house!

And in honor of the drives being good, I’ll leave you with this picture…

Until next time...

Limping along

I got the home network mostly back up and running last night/this morning.

I replaced the actual phone line which was toasted by the lightning zap. Then the DSL modem and the router.

I went wireless (wireless N) this time. This way, if/when we get hit by lightning again, at least it will only take out the DSL modem and wireless router and not travel down the length of the network and take out any more computers/devices. I did put a network surge protector in-line before the DSL router. Maybe that will stop a zap or two. Maybe.

The Husbear is happy because the network wires that were traversing down the stairs aren’t any more.

I’m using the Husbear’s computer at the moment. Mine is still in pieces. I hope I didn’t lose my music and porn “collection”…. Priorities, I know.

Until next time...
