The Never-Ending Reinstall
It's been a while since I last did a re-install of Windows, and I was noticing some slowdown in the Chiyo-chan for whatever reason; it wasn't from any virus or spyware that I could detect. I suspect it might have been because of the whole problem with the external hard drive a month or two ago. Whatever, it's not like I had anything to do tonight, and with a NASCAR race on, I could watch that while I reinstalled Windows. Pure genius! I'd be done before the race was over!
Yeah, not so much. The race lasted four hours. By the time Tony Stewart won, I was still downloading updates... the last two times I did this sort of thing, it only took three hours total to have everything done. As I post this, I've still got a few apps to install, and it's almost seven hours later. Ugh.
We'll return to regular blogginationing on Monday.

Monty comes 9th, and... no race quotes again. What's up with that?! In Formula 1 it wasn't optional, but here he always does this stuff: only communicating when he thinks he's high enough. Last year it included top-10 finishes thought, but I guess not anymore? How soon is he going to skip out from the 3rd place press-conference?

I really need to re-install my Windows box too. I've bought a set of new drives for it so I can run RAID-5 and I have a free copy of Windows 7 from my friends at Microsoft, so all I need is a rainy long weekend and my Card Captor Sakura DVDs... And, realistically, Urusei Yatsura and Ranma
and the entire Precure metaverse.
There's a reason I tend to just go out and buy a new computer every couple of years. Linux boxes are just an rsync away, but Windows is forever.
