HDD transfer... and summer approaching
17 years ago
As a couple of people helped confirm, EIDE vs. IDE is essentially the same thing, and has been, for at least a while. So, yay internet for misleading me with outdated and obfuscated infos XD
The falling cost of diskspace is such that I was able to get a 500GB drive for about the same as a 160GB (thanks to sales, etc). I would have been happy just straight-up replacing my windows drive with something small, but peer pressure made me cave in and instead replace my Art/Media drive which is still reasonably new and healthy... leaving that drive free for a reformat and windows install. Or something.
I started the drive transfer around maybe... 8pm last night, and it's still likely to be going when I get home this evening.
I have a fair amount to work on offline, though, so I have no reason to feel slighted by the downtime.
Also, *licks the newest additions to my markers* Thank goodness that Pearl actually had some Copics I wanted/needed in stock. I'm wary of the cheap-looking, cheaply-priced copic knockoffs they're suddenly carrying, though. Cali got one to try out, but I don't trust them. Materials are materials, I know-- I've seen some brilliant work done with cheaper markers-- but I'm addicted to Copic's delicious brush tips.
I definitely want to get some coloring done tonight. And maybe some light gardening right when I get home, if it's still light out and not too chilly. The jaunt to Virginia over the weekend was teasing, with warm, humid, flowery prettiness that just reminds me how close summer will soon be... <3

I used to have so many!
I would love to adopt an aloe ^^ I could possibly trade you a holiday cactus, if you wanted! I have the type with mostly white flowers and lightly pink centers, or the typical fuchsia.
I love indoor plants because they make me happy year round... I'm working on propagating some pothos cuttings into a full plant, and at some point, I want to get a spider plant again... I used to have a beautiful one when I was younger, but it and the other plants I had at the time (including the aloe) froze in the cold after my family's housefire, way back in the day.
Outdoors, though, specifically what I was doing yesterday, was weeding some hibiscus seedlings out of my front garden before they got more firmly rooted, and checking up on the one strawberry plant that made it through the winter XD The hosta is coming up all pretty ^^
I'm trying to decide where to plant some carrot seeds, too. I need to go to Agway and get some tomato plants!
