The rest of the month
Jun. 17th, 2014 07:51 pmHi everybody!
(waits for answering chorus of "Hi, esmeiolanthe!")
As you may or may not know, I've decided to go over to the Dark Side and install (shudder) Windows 7 on a Boot Camp partition on my new machine. This will give me a much newer computer (about 6 years newer) and access to all the EPs and SPs, as well as Clean Installer, SimPE, and other fun toys like that.
It also means that I have to reinstall everything, update all my hacks, rebuild my 'hood again and so on. (I have to rebuild because some of my integral hacks are not AL-compatible and have no compatible version, and I'd rather that everything didn't explode, thanks. Plus it's a great chance to get rid of some cc that I don't want, but that can't be removed without extensive intervention from SimPE, which doesn't work on Macs.)
My Windows 7 disc is currently sitting in the post office, waiting for me to come pick it up, which will probably happen Friday or Saturday, and then there will be lots of work to do. I will also be organizing my Downloads folder better this time around, and organizing my WCIF better too.
My old machine still works just fine, and I can still play and write. I will post as I have things completed, but because of installing and updating and rebuilding and all, I probably won't be playing and writing as much as I would without having embarked on this huge project, so updates will be irregular... not that they've been all that regular lately anyway. (sadface) And the AiP fifth birthday special probably won't be very special at all -- unless y'all decide to help me out by sending in questions I can answer! Hint, hint...
Expect to see plenty of WCIF posts soon-ish, and maybe pictures.
Of course, this is assuming that everything works the way I think it will (and the way it should) -- if it doesn't, the computer is going to the repair shop or out the window, one or the other!
