My new computer is so quiet that I can now spy on my bedroom window neighbors’ tv viewing habits. Well just the audio portion, which is currently playing some very familiar sci fi and\/or science documentary music that I can’t quite place. It could be X-files, it could be something by Caral Sagan, it could be something else. If only I was enough of a music person to be able to turn the tune in my head into notes so there’d be some possibility of figuring it what it is! Or I could just ask them through the window, but that seems creepy. Why isn’t there an xkcd about this kind of thing?<\/p>\n
In other news: Turns out that the loudest part of my old machine was the 13Gb hard drive I was using for the OS. Its been chugging along without a hitch since 1999 so I guess it’s earned the right to be loud. I’ve successfully saved all of my data from my 1 year old dying drive at this point, RMA request here I come. *Insert comment about just not making them like they used to here.*<\/em>Update: I have confirmed that it was indeed music from the X-files, which, I never watched, and is not on my to get\/watch list, but somehow I know the music.<\/ins><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My new computer is so quiet that I can now spy on my bedroom window neighbors’ tv viewing habits.
