Several months ago, my work machine started flaking out, so I got the folks at work to order me a new one. It came, and I was able to use it to work around my immediate problems, but I never got the chance to completely switch over to using it—too much work shit going on. Well, a few weeks ago, my laptop started flaking out. And, as of Friday, my new laptop has arrived, and now I have two machines to set up and get configured and transfer hundreds of thousands of files to. Lucky me.
So, even if I had planned to do a full post this week (which I had not), I simply wouldn’t have the time: I’ve got a laptop to configure, a desktop to configure, gigabytes to copy, filesystems to share, my wife to murder, and Guilder to frame for i
t—I’m swamped. Still, there’s some hope that, after this process (as difficult as it may be), things will be better. Honestly, I’d be happy if they were just not worse than they were before all this madness started, but I suppose I can’t help but hope for better. Call me foolish if you must: I won’t deny it. We’ll see how it goes.
