Eseme's Den

My computer went and bricked on me.

First time I've had the OS go and die on me in the ten years I've owned Macs.

Sadly, I've been a bit lazy about backups lately, and have probably lost a few pictures from my sister's Facebook, various RP log files, a sound file of my Panther laughing, and most of the files I downloaded from the Hati Relief gaming bundle. Oh, and all the changes I've made to my bookmarks lately, which included a lot of sorting, deleting dead ones, and adding new ones. Nothing that can't be replaced, other than the RP logs and Panther's laugh (that last one REALLY hurts).

I'll be offline for I don't know how long. I don't want to totally reinstall the OS until I get in touch with my local Mac guy and the Apple Care folks.

Arhg.

I now have one!

Internet Explorer for Mac downloads pictures that are only 2-4K and somehow makes then 132K on my hard disk. Safari does not do this. I now worship the (virtual) ground Safari walks on.

If I could just figure out how to transfer my bookmarks...

Oh and today has just been yucky. I've been spacy all day, can't concentrate on a thing and now my back hurts for no reason I can think of. And there are no comfy chairs in my apartment, despite Chris' claims to the contrary concerning the sling chair. *grumble*
