well… I’ve been trying to avoid the formatting drive c: option… so I’ve been trying and trying to still reinstall windows… without luck of course. …So I decide to mount the windows drive in linux… to move data over… well… the windows installer deleted it all anyway… all of my photos of davey are gone… thankfully they’re on view.lostorbit.co.uk… well… not all of them unfortunately… and of course they’re basically irreplacable… ugh, this sucks so damned much… it also appears that 100% of my data for email is gone too… if it weren’t for linux this computer would be completely useless! …Pretty much everything in the “my programs” directory is gone too… which includes my trillian buddy lists… hell the trillian program is completely gone too of course. This is the second time that windows 2000 has wiped out my data… I’m really not quite sure if I should even bother with trying to reinstall it at this point…. I’m sooo fucking sick of windows destroying everything. Irony though, all of the development that I did with greymatter is also destroyed with the exception of the directory itself. And….. the local versions of all of my websites… well they’re gone… A lot of this I have backed up… but I wasn’t prepared for this sort of devastation…

I’m just not sure exactly what I’m going to do with my Palm Pilot now… there is supposed linux application support… but… realistically… I don’t know… I’ll have to purchase a USB adapter for use on any apple product I might buy though.

All of this is so incredibly frustrating… but at least I know that formatting my C: drive won’t destroy anything since the installer took care of selectively deleting anything of any level of importance… I don’t know what I’m going to do… windows or not… I need to move around the files on the non-destroyed E: drive though… if I intend to be linux only on this computer…. Will need to move everything to ReiserFS… …I also need a nice big surge of money… or something… sigh…

it’s a shame I finished my orange juice… I certainly could use a drink… and tequila and orange juice just go together so very well.

Maybe I should take a poll… to reinstall windows or not to reinstall windows… lol. …I think the ibook versus powerbook debate is solved… it has to be a powerbook now.
