Good afternoon, everyone. It is Thursday, the day I get my CPU Cooler! Woot! And it came..through the USPS instead of FEDEX (as the last shipment). Opened the box, and found the box the CPU Cooler is in…was upside down. Wow.
OK, Newegg. I get having to wait a week since I ordered the parts as ‘punishment’ for choosing the ‘Super Eggsaver’ option for shipping…, but to find my CPU Cooler upside-down in the shipping box? That’s a bit harsh.
Guess I deserve this treatment…?? *sings “Greed makes the world go ’round!”*
..Oy. I hope this ‘mishandling’ of the cooler didn’t cause permanent damage, and I would have to wait even longer if I have to send it back to Newegg to get a replacement. Especially that tomorrow morning is when I send the parts (and my computer) over to the guy to get them installed. It was going to be today, but the guy is too busy and said to give them to him tomorrow morning.
So yeah, exciting! Gotta get up early (though 10 in the morning isn’t ‘early’ for a lot of people, it is for me as I typically get up at noon. Don’t judge me. :P).
I also forgot to mention, that I ‘feel’ I got my C drive fully backed up last night. I also took the time to backup my Firefox bookmarks (and even took pictures of what my active windows are).
Yesterday afternoon, I was actively looking for a 21st century replacement for such an ancient practice (aka, have a program do the work for me and sniff through the drive, and find non-Windows files). Sadly, such a program seems to not exist in these modern times of computing. It’s either “I’ll back up your entire drive, or I’ll backup Windows-only files.”
Stated the reason I was concerned about this in yesterday’s post. But at least today, I have lots of time to verify that I didn’t forget anything.
