This morning's...

...tasks are:

• Fix  Media PC; and
• Start on more Tales pages.

The second has a higher priority, but if do the 1st before that it will be more enjoyable. Most of my Tales pages were drawn in the lounge watching something on the Media PC. We'll see how it goes, but I am not going to obsess over fixing it.

Slow Time

After a lot of mucking about with that PC I've found a work-around. Discovered an old 80 Gb IDE drive which I can plug directly into the motherboard and boot from, after I install Windows on it. Once I have and I do, I can then install extra software that will run certain cards which will let me attach a SATA drive as well. So, one SATA goes in as the slave, and the other(s) get farmed out to the existing PCs so I can read the contents.

I can set windows up so that PROGRAMS will be on the SATA drive (maybe) so this should work. If not, that's it, and I will mothball it until I can afford a new motherboard / cpu / memory.

(no subject)

And the result is...

I HAVE A WORKING MEDIA PC (again)!

Not exactly what I had before, but (if I'm careful) it should do until I replace the motherboard et cetera. I have an 80Gb IDE to boot from, and a (spare) 1 TB Sata to do stuff on. Should be enough for now :)

And after all that

after an awful lot of work to get the PC going again, I just didn't have the energy to draw anything.

won't consider this a defeat, rather progress (there's always tomorrow).
