March decided to stick around another night. It got cold enough that I was able to snag some more files from Sluggo's hard drive (and he only crashed twice!) If we get enough uncharacteristically cold nights this summer, I might be able to transfer to the new computer all the stuff I want to keep by, oh, Labor Day or thereabout. At least there's no heavy lifting involved.

I guess it's too late for me to get to the party in Norway. I only found out last night that today is the centenary of Norway's independence from Sweden.

Of course, the other major event for which June 7th will be remembered is the LiveJournal permanent account sale. It lasts until 9:00 P.M. EST tonight. Why it's standard time, I don't know. Maybe I'll get one, though I recently blew a bundle on this new computer, and my bank balance is anemic. I didn't nab a permanent account last time they sold them, when they were a mere hundred bucks. I don't know if I can justify spending a hundred and fifty for one, even though the privilege of uploading goatloads of extra user icons is included. Well, I have until eight o'clock local time this evening to decide.

Back to real writing sometime in the future.

I bought the permanent account. I justified it by saying it would "pay for itself" in, uh, four years. It was a good way to make sure I'd keep doing this thing in spite of "popular time-waster trends."

Hi there, I added you yesterday. I found you through gutbloom of the North.

Why not pull the hard drive out of Sluggo, and put it in an external case ($40) with a usb connector? That way you can access your files whenever you want, and can also use the external drive as a backup. Of course it would deprive us of the nostalgic feelings we get whenever we read of Sluggo giving you fits.
