Jan. 6th, 2007 05:09 amThe laptop, it is back.
It is also, aha, devoid of any and everything of value that I'd once stored upon it.
But that's fine. I've spent the last 11 or so hours shuffling through install disks and bringing it back up to snuff. Photoshop, Painter, Trillian and all my handy-dandy work programs are once more installed. I managed to make a copy of bookmarks for both IE and FireFox before the Dreaded Event(tm) so that's all well and good, too. All I need now are the Wacom drivers and a snazzy new desktop wallpaper (alas, I have no pics of Little Dude available) and I'm ready to trudge through my imminent discovery process -- you know, the part where I find out what I'm missing at crucial moments where I need whatever those things are.
In other news, the manga project is excruciating, but I've got the characters, I've got the plot, I just need to build up some momentum. Admittedly, I'm probably channeling a little too much AstroBoy and not enough, er, whatever the hell it is TokyoPop sells that isn't Fruits Basket or Kare Kano. But hey, it's a fun idea and certainly good enough for a 16 - 20 page punchline.
