Rargh. Update, and CRUSH, DESTROY!
I'm starting to ramp up to an "ARGH! MUST CLEAN!" frenzy; currently I've excavated a portion of my desk. I stopped when my allergies started kicking in. I think I may attack the rest of my desk and at least a portion of the rest of the room tomorrow.
Also, for the record? I hate DVI connectors. They simply don't seem to connect as securely as VGA connectors. Particularly when you're using a DVI->VGA passthrough dongle.
I need to find someplace to put al my damned CDs. These things accumulate like leaves; you buy some electronic item, poof, more CDs. Argh. I guess I'll go out and buy another massive CD binder. Eventually.
I 'fixed' my mom's Win2K machine. Fucking piece of shit Win2K. Something got fucked in the SYSTEM dir, and then I tried to 'repair' the installation. Well, whoopdefucking doo, it said I didn't have an installation of 2K on my comp, and I would need my rescue disk. Note that I installed 2K in the default dir. Argh. So I installed another installation alongside of that. Hopefully I'll be able to rescue some of the data that was on there. All the essential crap Windows needs to boot really should be more ... redundant. But then, they did seem to fix that stuff in XP.
Still, I want to rape bill Gates with a cactus.
I've been leeching comics from torrents. So far, I've read Lucifer (a spin-off of the Sandman universe,) The Walking Dead (Zombies!) and I'm making my way through Promethea now.
Lucifer was generally excellent with a significant Gaiman-like feel; there's humor and pathos and depth all mixed up in there. I definitely recommend it.
The Walking Dead is a post-zombie-apocalypse story. It's horribly gory and the author loves doing horrible things to his characters. Unlike Lucifer, this one isn't finished, yet, so it's one I'm going to be following. It's great, though, if you love the genre. I wound up DLing it sight unseen from a newsgroup, and I'm glad I did.
Promethea's ... odd. It's a superhero comic with certain themes I really like, but ... it's a superhero comic, and I dislike some of the tropes. On the other hand, most of the time, it's poking fun at these. I'll have to read more before I give my verdict. It'd definitely not bad, though. Of course, it's by Alan Moore, so it's not gonna suck.
Oh, yeah. I also snagged V for Vendetta, and that was a truly magnificent and fucked-up tale. I recommend that for everyone.
