Problem Solved

Shortly after my last post something interesting happened that has not happened to me before. The hard drive to my only computer filled up. The culprit: Porn Photos. This is an issue I've been dealing with for a few years now by removing something else whenever I took pictures. Well, I finally ran out of things which can be removed. All that remained other than my pictures was Windows itself, Office, Picasa, iTunes, Dropbox, and Firefox. Typically, I take it as a good sign whenever I must make room for pictures. However, it reached a point where my computer stopped functioning.

Fixing it was simple once I got started. After sorting out the hardware, I used GParted to copy the entire contents of the old drive to the new one. That only took an hour to complete. Upon rebooting I disabled the old one with the intention of enabling it soon to use as a backup location.

My bicycle was also fixed and to commemorate the occasion I decided to go out and take photos. My favorite way to take photos is to go for a ride on my bike so it getting fixed worked out nicely. I went on a short ride from my apartment in Slippery Rock to the point where the road leading to the outlets is blocked off and back again. (which is about 12 miles if you're curious) Here is a shot from campus on my way back.

Hi There

Also I finally was able to fit Team Fortress 2 on my computer again. If you ever feel like playing my Steam ID is steakPinball.
