ich bin ein auslander

Music system shat out on me. Main hard drive decided to die… which, all things considered, was rather fortunate, as the second drive held all my data… music, samples, midi files… so, of the two, I guess it was best to lose the system drive.

So, today I’m picking up a new hard drive and Windows XP Professional, since Pro Tools, Logic, etc will all run on that as well as Win 98. Screw Win 98. Let’s have a somewhat stable OS to run all my music software on, shall we?

So… in addition to writing up a big important work proposal, I’ll be doing installs all day today. HD in, Win XP Pro, Pro Tools, Logic, Acid, Soundforge, various plug-ins, drivers for all the midi crap, soft synths, sample libraries… sigh. And back to the home networking issues, which hopefully will be easier since both systems will be running XP.

Some day I might actually be able to just sit down and work on music. Doubtful. At least I’ll have the opportunity to upgrade everything to the latest builds while doing installs and whatnot.
