Computer's working again. Not working well, but working. Scandisk found 65 bad sectors, then crashed. I'll have to scan for more when I have time.

Figured it out. For some reason WinApm suddenly decided to stop recognizing any drives past D:. Unlike Stay, most of my mp3s are on E: and F:. I reinstalled WinAmp, and everything works fine now. Time to rebuild the playlists I forgot to save.

prettyshygrrl came over. We sat and talked for some time. She helped me blow off steam and get my bearings. I hope I did the same for her. She's a wonderful person, I wish the stormy seas could part for her, as well as for so many of my other friends. Far too many of my friends are struggling to weather tempests right now.

prettyshygrrl gave me her old computer, a 300Mhz P2, which is 33% faster than my current computer. I'm going to have to do a bit of hard drive swapping before I can use it. With borggrrl sending me a scanner to replace the one that was headbutted, I'll soon be moving ahead computerwise. Many many thanks to prettyshygrrl and borggrrl!

I just found this picture from our "Be Bad On Good Friday" party last year while organizing old files on my harddrive.



Now I'm going to go through my site access logs and look for leeches.

At least I accomplished one must-do task today. I cleaned almost all of the seemingly insurmountable pile of dirty dishes. Another task I did a lot of work on, although it wasn't a must-do task, was going through and deleting the mp3s I didn't want. I'm limited on disk space and if I want to download new ones I must get rid of some. Off to bed and off tomorrow for our final visit to our current psychiatrist.

Today I've been having a new problem with Photoshop. I've been getting "Scratch Disk Full" everytime I've tried to make a new document. My drive has over 500MB of space, so I thought that was a bit odd.

I ran scandisk. Nothing.

I ran Disk Cleanup. No effect.

I ran a virus scanner. Nothing.

I ran scandisk on thorough. Nothing.

Finally I noticed I was trying to create the image at 220 X 220 inches instead of 220 X 220 pixels. Oops.
