Specifically a hard drive that doesn't overheat itself every few hours. I dunno what's happened but Speedfan has been telling me that it's been running around five degrees cooler than before (115F vs 120F), but I'm not complaining. Far from it, since now I can play SimCity without worrying about a heat related computer shutdown.

On a less tech related note, it's been a busy ass week. I will get to fanfic progress in a second, but first, a few things that have been going on:

Well, first off, I'm typing this from my netbook, in the first time I've extensively used it in about six months (I stopped using it after the battery started going.

I'm done editing the last chapter of Luna's Power and Rainbow's Love, but it may take a day or two to post it, as the site is really buggy at the moment, and, while the chapter is on my hard drive, I'd rather not risk the data vampires getting at it, since there are a lot of reports of people trying to publish their chapters and said chapters ending up blank. When this is smoothed out, I'll go ahead and post the chapter
