Today marked the bittersweet passing of an old antagonist.

My grumpy, aged laptop, Computron, was laid to rest in favor of a younger, faster, more eager-to-please model. While I'll miss the uneasy truce Compy and I struck, I have to say I'm pretty excited to use a computer that isn't out to kill me.

Still: a moment of silence for the old bastard.




OK, now that that's out of the way, here's the real reason I'm posting. I wanted to save Computron's hard drive, which is proving to be much harder to be than anticipated (even in death he can't make things easy for me!), and removing said hard drive necessitated completely dismantling his innards. If you've never taken a power tool to a laptop, I highly suggest it.

I made sure to document the carnage.


Also today, I took some pictures of my fleece jacket. Random, sure, but I'm not completely disappointed by the results.



See, FHD isn't dead yet at all.
