Mmmm, the weekend, gotta love it. This past week was crazy stressful, due to having court scheduled every day, appointments squeezed into just about every other space, and my assistant being off work for vacation. It culminated in what was a quasi-default application made by another lawyer yesterday, which had me fearing that the judge would agree with him and we'd be kinda screwed, but the other side hasn't done a lot of things, some of which they're accusing us of not doing, so the judge gave us both a firm deadline to file things and move this on, phew. Add to all of that my PC problems, wherein my PC shut down last Sunday and has been in the shop ever since, leaving me with my old one, and some general malaise and missing my lovely wife and, yeah. Glad it's the weekend!

On the PC front, I called the repair place today (after checking in with them yesterday and being told to check again this afternoon) and they think it should be done in an hour or two. According to them, my Norton Antivirus was reaaaaaaaally messed up and was running in the background constantly. I tried to uninstall it because it was being a pain; I only had a free trial when I bought the machine and it expired ages ago, and kept popping up asking me to renew, etc. So I didn't think much of it when the uninstall failed, but according to the repair guy it didn't completely uninstall and was trying to update its definitions / load in the background over and over, causing instability, especially when I'd try to do something taxing like playing an MMO, and that was the problem as far as they can see. So they think the hardware is ok, and that there's no other software problems, plus the network adapter should work now and let me get back online. I'm hoping they call soon and I'll drive up to pick it up. :)

On a related note, I've been using my old PC since then, and the main hard drive is totally on its way out on that (it's like 7+ years old), so I finally stopped being lazy and formatted the newer D drive on the PC, reinstalled XP on it, and have been using it pretty much without a hitch ever since. It even runs LOTRO beautifully in medium/high settings, which is nice, so I've been able to cope without my regular PC.

Today's plans include more relaxing, with a potential raid tonight, depending on how many people show up for it. We have almost enough signed up, along with 4-5 tentative sign ups, and if a few of those people show up / if more people get online, it'll be fine. Other than that, nothing new to report. There's a Hallowe'en party in the city tonight but I'm feeling under the weather and blah, and have work to do tomorrow afternoon, so I don't think I'm going to go. Plus it's a costume party and I don't have one, I have no idea of what to wear, and I should save up my money.
