Another blue screen.

March 27th, 2006

I know that it is Murphy’s Law. It is because I am moving away from the campus and away from the super IT people that my computer is doing this to me now. It just wants to watch me squirm with worry that I will no longer have a computer. I think part of the problem is that my hard drive is busting at its proverbial seams with information. I called Dell to see if I could get a bigger hard drive, but alas, they don’t make anything bigger than what I have. It is a little scary. I think I am going to have to get a second external hard drive just to back up all of my data and music so that if this computer bites the big one, I will at least have absolutely EVERYTHING all in one place.

Dear Blue Screen of Death,

You don’t scare me. I will ALWAYS beat you. Even if I have to buy a new computer I am always one step ahead of you with my mad crazy back-up skills. So you can flash your little blue heart out. I will not panic. I will not PANIC!

Sincerely,

Your irritated nemesis

  1. BlueScreen of Death huh? Well… next time, think about partitioning your one Physical Hard Drive, into 2 sections. C: & D: drive.

    STORE everything on the D drive, All of your ‘files’ and such. But keep windows on the C: drive. I do this and it’s a really the easiest way for me to make it possible to destroy windows over and over again, and still keep my vital files. At least without storing on an external (which you should).

    But yeah, partition the drives and it enables you to just re-install windows over and over again… granted you’ll have to reinstall all of your ‘programs’, but at least the created files are saved…

    OR, and I’m sure youknow all this… get a ghosting backup program that just takes a picture of your WHOLE computer, and then whenever something happens to it… you can just erase and reload the whole computer…

    OR, ummmm… I don’t know, be really paranoid and email your files to a gmail account and just store them there… (although then everyone at gmail can see then forever, since they don’t delete ANYTHING that comes across their servers.)

    But now this looks like a really long edition of PC computering online.

  2. Hey - I tried emailing you and realized all the email addresses I have for you are a zillion years old. Just watned to let you know that Pittsburgh’s favorite band, The Clarks, will be on the West Coast:

    April 7 - Temple Bar - Santa Monica, CA
    April 8 - Cafe Du Nord - San Francisco, CA

    Kind of far from you, but a lot closer than Pittsburgh.
