what's up?

computer is dying too

1954 chevrolet bel air

here’s a shot from too early in the morning at pomona, while i waited for my nephews to show up. mmmm. chevys. (not the restaurant—lol.)

exposures slightly quicker since i’m shooting near the lights, but enough to still blur the moving parts, err, people.


ugh. this computer has probably reached the end of it’s usefulness. it’s more of a hassle to boot up anymore. well, it’s had boot issues for years anyway.

takes up a lot of desk space too.

my better half built it for me probably over a decade ago now, and the parts are so old, i can’t install the latest version of windows. same problem for his pc.

so my options are to transfer everything over the mac, or buy a newer pc. some of my software doesn’t work on the mac, so i’m kind of on the fence for converting over fully versus why waste the money on another computer.

i can pull the hard drives from this one if i have to. the computer keeps crashing, so i’m guessing when i took the cover off and blew the dust out of it a week ago, i probably knocked some part loose. it’s a heavy motherf*ckr, so i don’t really want to drag it out again, but maybe i’ll just pull the cover off and have a look.

just pisses me off when stuff he used to fix easily stops working, and i didn’t pay enough attention when he showed me how to do stuff with it. and i just lose hours farting around with his computers figuring things out, instead of getting other things done. bottomless pit of despair there, and interesting to see how his mind worked by how and what he saved there.

this just sucks. but i’m in a good place otherwise.
