Off the grid

posted by RICK : 9:34 PM

The irony of just finishing an interactive blog for you and your friends, is when three days pass and then your computer decides to eat itself. This is what has happened to me. I've been experiencing freezes on my "freeze-proof" mac, and decided to run the disk utility. It deduced that the hard drive had an unfixable error on it. No worries I thought-- that is until the drive unmounted itself and refused to jump back on. Now my computer won't load ANYTHING. It just has that grey screen with the apple on it and the spinning wheel and taunts me for 5 minutes before shutting off again. Also, since my iPod is dead (hard drive too!) this means that my entire music collection is MIA-- or rather, in Omaha, in my parents room, far away from where I can listen to it.

(There's also all those prereleased records I ripped from my roommate, but I guess I can't feel too bad about not being able to listen to them either...)

So what this means is I'm officially off the grid until I can figure out how to replace the drive in my computer... or something. Anyone know of a good external that one can boot from? Right now my external drive refuses to step up.
