X-Men 2, a Still Dead Comp and Stuffage

Sunday evening we went and saw X-Men 2, which I definitely liked more than the first one, and I really liked the first one. Lots of fun and now I can't wait for the next one. Unfortunately if it takes as long as the space between the first two, it'll be around 2006 before it comes out *sob*.

The visual effects for the Nightcrawler kicked ass, I really liked those a lot.

Next up in 9 days... The Matrix installment 2 ... Yay! And then a month and a half later it's Pirates of the Caribbean ... Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom *swoon*.

Other than that it was a quiet few days. Yesterday the new motherboard arrived... and the fucking machine still doesn't work. So the RAM was quite probably okay, the motherboard was definitely broken, because at least now the computer will turn on and boot and stuff... now we've progressed towards software failure. It's always fucking Windoze's fault, and this is no exception. It'll boot to safe mode, but dies trying to load up the full version. There's also a possibility that the harddisk is screwy as well (this wasn't a new part, but one cannibalised from one of PreZ's machines). So, I still can't use my own computer.

Did some work basting the corset, need to finish that up in a little while as I'm going to be going down to NJ today I think... Kit, are we still on for that?

Did you reinstall win2k on the machine with the new mainboard?

That's rather mandatory, in my expierience, as those drivers seem to get into everything.

I believe PreZ tried to do that... it would boot into safe mode, but not regular windoze.
