INTJ

So, I took one of these Myers-Briggs tests online, and it came up as INTJ, and there are two explanations for that here and here.

I'm not completely sure how accurate they are in the big picture, but I certainly fit in some traits. At any rate, it's pretty safe to assume I'm an introvert, and whatever test I take will end up saying that.

Football

Looks like I'll be making a trip down to Florida in November, and I may even be able to catch a Gator game at UF, which will be perfect! Every now and again I get the urge to revisit old haunts, and I'll be doing some of that, too, but the possibility of the game is really the main reason I want to go. HAven't been to one in at least 15 years, and I think this year is tailor made for a another Gator championship. Looking back, I can't even recall what I used to do during home game Saturdays. I rarely went to the games; I think i just stayed home with the roommates and watched the game on TV.

Can't wait for the season to start up again.

Continuing saga of ...

someone who shouldn't be playing in the insides of computers.

So, I was finally able to extract the stripped screws from the case of my lap top, which allowed me to get into the guts of the computer and replace the dead hard drive with the new one. However, simply firing the puppy up after putting it all together would be all to easy.
I have to now reinstall the operating system so that I can have a functioning machine. However, it won't read my new hard drive. Running the hardware test shows that the logic board is fine and everything else is working, so the issue may be a faulty ribbon cable running from the hard drive to the logic board. Thankfully, this is only a ten dollar fix, and as I now have taken apart the bloody thing twice already, I know what I'm doing. Sort of.
Just a little bit more effort, and I'll once again have a 6 year old laptop at my disposal. It would have been so much easier just to send the thing away, but honestly, where's the fun in that?
