Apr. 5th, 2004 01:37 pmOdd sort of weekend. I didn't get any animation work done, but I got most of my errands done, and my taxes are finished saved for finding two forms to fill out. I ordered a bolt of silk. I shot my best round of archery to date, and I'm pretty sure I'll not be repeating that any time soon. Terpsichory started weekly rehearsals for the Festival seasons, though I'm not sure I will be going to the Sioux Falls Fest in early June.
Now that D has his PC and all the software necessary to fix it, he brought it all over to fix mine. After Terps rehersal, so it was getting kinda late. He removed the hard drive out of my PC so he could then hook it up to his. I fixed dinner. He had to juggle all the cables and reconnect everything when he PC didn't recognize my drives. He took out his drive from its mount, and set it down. Fiddled with the wires and connections some more, then powered up the machine.
POP. FLASH. SMOKE.
He hadn't been paying attention to where is set down his hard drive. When he powered the system back up, metal bit connected with metal piece and he shorted out and fried his hard drive. It took him ten years to fry his first hard drive, and last night was it.
He will get himself a new hard drive tonight or tomorrow. He has fencing tonight, so tomorrow night will be the next attempt at computer repair. He left his box at my apartment - it's not like he will be using it before Tuesday - and we hid the various parts of box boxes in place my cat can't get to.
After all the computer drama was done, I talked him through basic SCA garb. Told him what he can buy, what I can make, and showed him what fabric I have on hand. He's still not quite sure what he wants to wear, though cotehardies and houppelands are right out. I promised to find him some image links of What People Wear, but if he wants me to make something for him for Northshield Crown Tourney, I've got to get started very soon.
