Where Do We Go Now?

I have lots to look forward to, and lots not to look forward to.

I ordered another hard disk drive for my computer today. A 250 GB Seagate Barracuda. If all goes to plan, my internal drive structure will look like this:

• 160 GB Seagate: Windows XP / core drive (games, personal files, etc.)
• 80 GB Maxtor: Ubuntu 7.10 / backup drive (partitioned into three logical volumes)
• 12 GB Seagate: Windows Vista / test configuration (compatibility and feature testing)
• 250 GB Seagate: Media Drive (supporting all my music, images, application sources, etc.)

That last one is the trick pony: the 80 GB Maxtor drive is currently my media drive, and it's outright full, with less than 500 MB of drive space free. By moving my media to a 250 GB drive, I have lots of room to expand my music and movie collection. Quite frankly, I'm excited. I haven't been purchasing music lately because I've been tight on drive space. I expect that over winter break and into January, my music collection will explode in size.

Which reminds me, I updated my Winamp master list, so click through on the link to the right for the new list.

Anywho, I have that project to look forward to: reconfiguring my computer, installing Ubuntu, and playing around. That'll be Thursday night's project. Until then, I don't have a lot to look forward to. I have to attend every one of my classes this week, without fail, all while preparing for finals on the side. I've been enjoying a great week off school with video games, but those might go to the wayside for a while.

On the plus side, I have a few opportunities this week for random events: a nice dinner out for a change, maybe a broadway play (ehhhhh...), and some time on Wednesday to dedicate myself to some fiction.

For now, I'm off to enjoy a peaceful night around the house since I don't work in the morning (woot!).
