moving fuzzy into berkeley and spending the week with michelle went quite well. rasputin music is a cool place there, and we discovered the place ben referred to as the "objectivist hot dog stand" was in fact more libertarian, possibly anarchial capitalist. it's called "top dog", it's on durante.
my comp was manifesting interesting hard drive issues before i left (files were randomly becoming corrupted, and i was having trouble scandisking), and upon my return my comp was unbootable. it wants to scandisk, and whether you let it finish or not, it reboots right afterwards and then prompts you for safe mode, and part of the way into booting (safe mode or not) it produces an error and you have to reboot, at which point it wants to scandisk, etc. i have a maxtor 80 and a seagate 160, and a maxtor 60 i haven't been using. the m80 was producing the results listed above; the m60 doesn't, but i believe it's partially formatted or something and produces an error if you try to boot from it, i think the seagate does the same (though i know the seagate is fine). attempts to boot from floppy to format have failed, as (eventhough the bios recognizes the maxtors) upon boot to dos the drives are no longer there. i think trying other ide slots produced different but unproductive results. so i whipped out the old soyo mobo i have and hooked stuff up to see if it's the mobo, but i couldn't get it to boot from floppy. tested the floppy on wes's comp and indeed it got messed up. i just remade it, but now i have to go ref. fortunately, i have no classes and haven't signed up for any work shifts yet, so i have nothing but time to work on this. oh joy.
