Computer is back...

But the data is not. Somehow, the hard drive fragged itself to the point that no data was recoverable. Thankfully, a bunch of my pictures and such are still on the desktop, but I still lost a lot of stuff. Also thankfully, the computer shop gave me a bit of a discount on the work, so I didn't end up paying as much as I thought I would.

Right now, next to me, I have sitting a small external hard drive. I'm going to do backups from now on...

Not the greatest news

I was going to be putting up a normal post today, but it didn't work out. My computer has temporarily but effectively given up the ghost. Thankfully, the warranty was still in effect, or I'd be buying a brand-new hard drive out of pocket. Hopefully, the computer will be back up early next week. :)

My interactive post is over

But if you wish to comment on it, you still may. Hey, if you wanna comment anywhere, do so. :D

Well, since last post, I've mowed yards, gotten sick, gotten better (mostly), gone to some friends' house for a movie and fighting on their trampoline ( :D ), gone to church twice, and been stung by a bee. There really hasn't been anything much exciting going on.

Tonight was the weekly meeting for my venture crew. Venturing is a program put on by BSA (Boy Scouts of America) for older kids (14-20) who would be interested in higher adventure. Unlike Boy Scout troops, Venture crews are co-ed. We have about 10 dedicated members right now, a few potentials, and a few people that come sometimes, and sometimes not. I'm not in any official leadership role, but I am unofficially assisting the Advisor, whose position is analogous to the Scoutmaster for a Boy Scout troop.

Tonight's meeting was the first that we've done according to an actual agenda... yay! :D Since we only formally started about a month and a half ago, things aren't totally fallen into place yet, but they're getting closer. We discussed the calendar for the crew, addressed a couple issues, and played this really challenging mind game. Not exactly high adventure yet, but we'll get there. :P

There really isn't a ton that's coming to mind to post about. So, with that, I'll get going. Bye!
