Book’s back

Islington returned yesterday with a new hdd and most anything i care about should be restored. Not that you should care, but i somehow feel like writing about this before going back to our regular scheduled programming, whatever that means. Oh systemwide spellchecking, how i missed you!
It’s nice being on a mint system install, the quick-’n-dirty tiger upgrade i had running before always felt a little muddy. Finally internet explorer is gone, it won’t be missed. Yeah, i could have removed that before, but somehow i’m reluctant to mess with pre-installed software, so it’s nice apple got rid of some old junk in default tiger installations. Note to self: when restoring mail out of a backed-up library folder with lots of emails in your account inboxes, set up your accounts first, then import your old mailboxes and move messages to their appropriate locations. Not that this is the best, fastest or most elegant way to go about this, but it worked ok for me.
Also: does anyone think that referring to your computer by its name is obnoxious/pathetic/whatever? Because if you do, i could possibly stop doing so. Not saying that i will, just that i could.
