The lawn is in pretty good shape. I spread a fertilizer/crab grass killer on it back in April, and the grass has come in very thick, much better than last year. There were some dandelions around in later April, but they seem to have vanished, which is unusual. This weekend I want to spread some weed and feed. Still won't be a nice as the guy's across the street, but he puts way more effort into it than I am willing to. Besides, the grass is *always* greener...
More good news on the computer front. I connected the hard drives and the various cards back into Speedy, and it still works. There are some conflicts, because I think I manually changed the IRQ for the sound card PCI slot when I first installed it, but it looks like the new motherboard has done the trick. Just to be on the safe side, I'm gonna brain wipe C:\ and reinstall Win98 from scratch. This ought to be pretty painless, since I had put very little on this machine. As long as I'm tinkering, I'm also going to add a CD drive to complement the DVD, which I found to be kind of sluggish when being used for CD-ROMs. The CD was a spare that I cannibalized from a work machine, so no cost, which is a good thing.
Edit: How come Live Journal cuts off the last character of the post when I save an entry? It's easy enough to work around. I just have to remember to add a carriage return or extra space at the end of the post, but that's a pain. Time to look around in the FAQ.
