I have no idea if it is a sign or what, but today Windows ceased to work on my computer. Or who knows what. I actually should be studying for a calculus exam I have on Friday. Not looking forward to it.

For a few days now, Windows had been popping up CHKDSK on every boot, and today it didn't. Which would have been fine except that it didn't start at all. So right now I am writing from a bootable Linux Mint CD. Everything looks slightly odd, all the typefaces are different so all websites look slightly different as well. Not bad, just... different. Text, buttons, toolbars. Curious experience.

As for the windows/hdd issue, I don't have time to figure it out right now :P . I just hope it's not the hdd biting the dust.

Anyway, to those who care, this will be my final vacation schedule. If anybody has plans to be in the general vicinity and wants to meet up for tea and crumpets, PM me. Preferably before I leave my residence on 15 SEP because I have no idea when or if I'll have internet access. There may be surprises but Boston and SC will not happen. May meet Tetsu0 in NYC. Still have to arrange something. That reminds me I have to write him when I'm back in Windows.

16 SEP to 19 SEP: Miami, FL
19 SEP to 22 SEP: Disneyworld (Orlando, FL)
23 SEP to 30 SEP: New York City, NY
30 SEP to 03 OCT: Somewhere north of NYC, possibly in or near Ardsley, NY

In any case, expect lots of photos in the photos thread. Up sometime after 4-5 OCT.

A little experimentation with the Linux platform can't intimidate you right? Have fun!

Yay I still have to write you to arrange the details! I keep forgetting. I have to as soon as I'm able to get back to Thunderbird on Windows where all my email is.
