Problems

As evidenced by the lack of posts, things have happened.  Awhile back my roommate said she was going to buy a house, which meant breaking our lease and it was all going to happen in the middle of the semester.  That meant we had to get everything revved up to move, clean and repair the house we rented, do the move itself, unpack, all with minimal help because my parents are elderly and I hate tasking friends with such tasks.  The move took place last friday.  Since I'm in my last year of school I decided to just take over a room at my parents house instead of adding to everything with having to search for a new place to live.  Well, a myriad of problems has cropped up since then.  The internet is a bit sketchy at best, cutting out depending what I'm doing and probably the biggest thing to happen, my hard drive crashed sometime between Tuesday when I went to bed and Wednesday when I woke up.  More specifically, the hard drive for the computer I do my dev work on.  I have the PC up and running again with a new hard drive, but I haven't been able to recover whats on the crashed one.  Typically, I have a pretty good backup system with my file server, but in preparing to move I had left it at my parents house the last time I had visited, which was almost a month earlier.  The good news?  I didn't really lose much because I didn't have the time to get anything done in that month anyway because of everything else.  I still haven't got everything unpacked, and only briefly had my server up when restoring my tower since I don't really have a good place for it at the moment.  I'm going to have to find my copy of visual studio again too.

Sooo, Hurray!  Shit happens all at once.  Back to the grindstone I go.
