Re: "The here at last" Fridaily!
Congrats, LeWo! And you're right, you've been finished with that run for too long without submitting it yet.
RL: Finished my work week. No plans for the evening, but my weekend will be a different story. I'll leave it for tomorrow's daily since there's plenty more I can share about my day.
Computer: The former tech never used to get in touch with me, so imagine my surprise that when I left my work building he was standing outside waiting for me! ...Do remember, though, I work with his GF, so I guess he was picking her up, too. We talked for about five minutes, but the only things he said that mattered were, "What exactly did I not do that you wanted me to?" and "You're not getting a full refund." We got interrupted, so I told him to call me when he had time. What a [expletive deleted]-muncher.
Because I told the new computer fix-it people that the RAM I bought for it needed to be returned by Saturday (white lie: it's actually Monday), today they were super nice and did a quick RAM check well ahead of a few other systems that they're supposed to work on before mine. I got the call as I was talking to the old tech that told me the RAM checked out fine, so it's not the problem.
However, I'm in a bit of a dilemma. If the ultimate problem is the motherboard and I decide to buy a new one that uses DDR3 sticks, that means I'm out $100 because I won't be able to return what I just bought in time for a refund. On the flip side, if I buy a MOBO that uses DDR2 so I can use the RAM I just bought, that means I've got a computer that can't really be upgraded much more in the future. ...I guess the rest of the components aren't really super current, anyway, so I guess I'll have to live with a MOBO that uses DDR2. ...But that's only if the problem is the board, otherwise it's all moot. Bah! I wish the first tech hadn't wasted so much of my time... (and I bet you wish I hadn't wasted so much of yours! Sadly, this whole gaming computer thing is big to me at the moment)
D2: I beat normal with the Whirler yesterday. Still not really feeling the build or the skill yet. I dislike that a single hard point in Concentrate does more damage than the 14 points I have in Whirlwind.
