Murphy Visited me Yesterday

So randomly, yesterday afternoon, my computer decided that it was going to freeze and wouldn’t boot properly. It would just hang on the blue startup screen. Of course, I need it for everything — especially now for my thesis (first draft due on Sunday) — so I’ve spent since 9 am this morning getting it back to normal. This involved a trip downtown to buy more RAM (which I needed anyway), a total wipe and reinstall, and now getting software updates and getting the programs that I regularly use back and running again. What a pain. Thank God for being able to mount my iBook as a Firewire disk and install/boot to it.

In other news, there’s a new podcasting piece from Business Week.
