I suppose it's time for an update.
Grades:
Finished the quarter, 3 A's, one B (in my portfolio/website class). I expected the B because I never have any idea what he expects out of presentations, which means mine generally suck in this guy's class.
Cars:
Finally got around to having the Buick towed in October. Bought a 2002 Sebring LXI a few weeks ago. The Cadillac needs some minor repairs again.
Stuff:
Added more content to my portfolio again. My terabyte drive quit reading, which sucks. The guy at Geek Squad said plugging it into a Linux system will usually get it to read if it's a software problem instead of a hardware one, and that'll usually kick it out of whatever issue it's having. He plugged it in, the data was there, so we took it back to work. It read on my computer. Then I had to disconnect it, and it won't read again. *So*.....we're adding Linux to the desktop, in the hopes that then I won't need to have them perform my data recovery for me (because the drive itself might be failing [because the problem has continued]). Yay.
More Stuff:
My brother and his family are supposed to arrive tomorrow for a week-long visit. X is excited to see his young cousin again. R is in town for X-Mas this year, which is nice.
Yet More Stuff:
The grey cat who was hanging around last year (the one who I was concerned was quite ill and might have died, considering the amount of weight he was losing, fur condition, and gait, then he suddenly stopped showing up) is back. The first snow of the year, he showed up on the doorstep, fat and fluffy. He looks great. He looks like he found someone to take care of him. I was quite happy to see him. For old times' sake, I put some food out in the garage for him. He's come by a few times since, also. i think he just wanted to let us know he was doing ok. I'd been worried about him, I'm glad he's doing well.
