Today was sup­posed to be the start … and it wasn't.  I was ready to go, but it was not to be.

So I came home, ate some left­overs for lunch and sat.  I was ready to start today — that was the plan.  And it didn't, so I didn't know what to do with myself.

I thought about it for a bit and decided on a some­what wacky com­puter project: try­ing to install Mac OS X on my HP PC.  The actual Mac installs ran very smoothly, exactly in line with the instruc­tions.  No prob­lems at all — until I tried to boot back into Vista.  That's when the fun began.

First, the machine told me that a per­fectly func­tional file was cor­rupt, and thus, the OS would not start.  Then it said some­thing about no boot record being found.  After that, there was no rec­og­niz­able file sys­tem.  WTF?!

So, sev­eral hours and sev­eral Google searches later, I sit here, back in Vista but with Leop­ard run­ning along­side it.  Huz­zah!  That was an easy way to waste the after­noon.  Oh well, it was fun.

On tonite's final note, there are var­i­ous ideas for other posts swirling around in my head, one in par­tic­u­lar that I just don't know how to approach.  I wish it were eas­ier for me, but it's not and I don't know how to make it so.  I'll shoot for that tomor­row and see what happens.
