Okay, here we go. Spent moneys on MacOS X Leopard - at long last!

The plan is to get it installed by this weekend, doing a complete backup one night, and then taking my Mac in for repairs once it becomes impossible to start my laptop when I want. So far, it takes about six times before the screen comes up. Hopefully, it'll stay below ten for a while.

Good news: today (well, yesterday, now) was an incredibly productive day. Well, okay, not that great, but everything was working and things were coming together and fitting into place and all that, so I'm happy. Finally started writing that Internet-Draft I wanted to. Got editing a book chapter (!!!) I'm co-author on, which was fun too.

Bad news - apart from a week without my beloved Sinhgadh, maybe sometime soon - is that it's 3:15am right now, which means tomorrow is going to be a bad, bad day to wake up to.

Okay, this is definitely worse than it's ever been before. If I can keep this thing going until the end of the month, I can buy Leopard/Time Capsule next month, do a complete backup, and then send my baby in for replacement. I've got my photos and e-mails backed up, but seriously; I'm going to be buying Leopard/Time Capsule anyway, so I might as well get it done now and be sure everything's going to be restored when the new computer gets here.

I'm leaking money like there's no tomorrow though, so: bad, but what to do. The fact that my backups got categorized into "stuff to possibly keep" is worrying, too.
