Well, shit

Firefox tells me I use that subject line a lot. Dunno what that says about me.

So the happy new external hard drive I got myself as a birthday present is already malfunctioning. COME ON!

It keeps "ejecting" itself, and now 90% of the time it doesn't register when I plug it in. Highly annoying, especially since I have a LOT of stuff on there, including new episodes of Supernatural

Bah, humbug.

I think that I ought to start looking into copying some of this stuff onto CDs or whatever. Trouble is, I have NO idea how to do that. :(


In related but less frustrating news, does anyone out there in LJ land know how I would go about recording an MP3 on my computer? I mean, a recording of my own voice. I'm thinking of a birthday present for my mother, and I'd love to be able to record something for her that I could either give her as a computer file or maybe burn to a disc, or something. I have no idea where to even begin, but I'd like to avoid the complication of a hand-held recorder which I would then have to somehow put onto the computer and... uh. Yeah.

Help?

Mmmm, if you don't figure out the whole CD recording file backup thing, let me know.
Maybe I can come up with something when you're here on Sunday? (After the shower I mean)

How odd that your external is already throwing tantrums. Out of curiosity what did you buy?

I will definitely take you up on that. I am a giant wuss when it comes to computer stuff. ;)

My external is La Cie, for what it's worth.

Alas that I can't come to the shower. I am really, really pissed about that.
