AAAAARRRRGGH

I'm sure anyone in Eugene noticed the storm a little over an hour ago. I had fallen asleep on the couch around 3a, while watching the tail end of The Bourne Identity, and the sheer loudness of the thunder woke me up around 5:30. So, I went in to turn off and unplug my computer, because I'd been coding before taking the wee movie break.

But, apparently, I was too late, because now it's COMPLETELY FUCKED and won't boot into Windows. The hardware still *works*, at least, but I can't even boot into Safe Mode.

And of COURSE this happens on the day of my second-to-last internship meeting. I had planned to get up at 8a and solidify my code, but now? I'm on the Mac trying to see if I can cobble the rest of it together with what's on the server.

Worst. Timing. EVAR. >_<

Judging from what it's doing now, I suspect that a boot sector got hosed on the HD. So far, James has managed to dig through my old CDs and start a surface scan of my HD, and homey-C has Norton Utilities downloading on Kazaa. Thank GOD that we are a House Of Many Computers, or things could be a lot worse.

And in closing, Mother Nature can EAT MY ASS.

I watched The Bourne Identity too yesterday night, but the ending really sucked IMO, so it's not like you were missing out on much when you fell asleep.

Yeh, and it'll probably run on the movie channels another hundred times or so, so I can always try again later :)

But the ending was so unfinished and rather abrupt! It blows monkeys! But my brother said they left it sort of like that because apparently it's a trilogy.
