So yet another reason why I’ve been slacking with updates is because the hard drive on my desktop PC blew earlier this week. Luckily I had an extra drive that I wasn’t using, so it saved me from having to shop around for a replacement. I might still buy some kind of external drive to use for routine back-ups, but it’ll be a while before I really have to worry about that.
Starting up a brand new computer or just reinstalling your current one has a similar feeling to hooking up with a new girlfriend… You begin to tell yourself, “I’m going to treat this one better!” This time, I’m going to take a more professional approach to my PC than I have in the past. I’m not going to fill it with stupid junk that I won’t need. I’ve reinstalled the essentials, but I doubt I’ll install any other software until I know that I’ll need it. And playing with settings and tweaks are plenty to keep me busy in the meantime.
