Okay. This month was bad for blogging. Here’s my second “Why I haven’t blogged much this month” post >_< . . . Mon, May 14 - GF hears weird computer buzzing noise. I believe it's a fan, so I decide to clean it (the next day). Tue, May 15 - Take 3 hours to clean the computer. Took out the HDs and fans and cleaned everything. Re-wired the computer wires to take less space and be more organized. Boot computer. All is well. Wed, May 16 - Wake up and my comp is in (DoS? what's before Windows now?). I guess the boot screen.
uh oh.
I’m able to restart my computer a few times and eventually, somehow I get into Windows…but I periodically get a warning…
Try to go to Canada Computers and get a new SSD HD. Sold out Q_Q. A night without my computer = :( But fortunately, my 3 external drives are fine, so I plug one into my Mac, and I’m able to watch How I Met Your Mother (currently rewatching). Also, I decide it’s a good idea to clean my keyboard and mouse.
Thu, May 17 – Try to boot my (sometimes) failing primary HD…and it works, I can get into Windows after a few tries. But then…my keyboard and mouse no longer work. I guess cleaning them…wasn’t a great idea, as they seem kinda broken. My keyboard still kinda works, my mouse is just dead. :(
Got a new SSD HD, keyboard, and mouse.
Fri, May 18 – Had the day off. Spent the whole day bringing my new computer up to speed. And then…argh, freaking had some Apple iTunes issues that I was working on for hours. Lost all my iPhone game saved information…(not Tiny Tower! whew!). Also, I had some trouble with my ID and purchasing games in the last few years…so I lost some of the games I purchased >:( Going to email Apple about that…
Anyways…my computer’s pretty much back up to speed now. It’s been a tough few days!
For next time, I have a Google Draft for what I need to save:
- Export Bookmarks
- Export Dreamweaver Settings (FTP)
C:\Users\Prometheus\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4 - Export Firefox Settings (FTP)
C:\Users\Prometheus\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\wdvci35o.default - Export uTorrent Settings
C:\Users\Prometheus\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent - Export SQL Server Connection Information

Good thing is, I can still boot into my old computer, if needed. If there are settings I forgot to export or anything. It’s actually the best, most pleasant Hard Drive failure I’ve ever had :)
Anyways, off to catch up on some blog posts and keep rewatching HIMYM :) Almost watched all 7 seasons in like…1.5 weeks or something. I must have watched 2-3 seasons in one day, on Friday >_< That seems…unhealthy.
