Power Cable Blues

In Today's Episode: There's something waiting in Darkhawk's "inbox", and the latest chapter of The Darkhawk Diaries has all the details...

I would have pulled something more substantial together, but I spent half the day waiting for a delivery...

...and then... I had to go out to buy a new monitor power cable, 'cause the new PC doesn't have a monitor power port. Set-up has been postponed 'til tomorrow as a result - a bit of an anticlimax, really.

I've been exploring upgrade options in the meantime, and amongst other things, an external sound card sounds promising. The less "intrusive surgery", the better, I'm thinking.

Meanwhile... There goes another load to the sale-room, with the proceeds probably falling right into my summer and hardware requirements. Somehow I don't think I'll be getting a holiday this year, at this rate. :(

Hardware Boogie

Well, I have the new PC up and running now, and I have UO patched up and operational, so things are stable for the present. I'll pursue the upgrade cycle at a later date, probably after the summer, when financial matters settle down.

I may be back later - so far, things are going fine. Guess something has to screw up sooner or later...
