Nov. 9th, 2008 10:31 pmok, so the new 'puter is jolly lovely, runs nice and fast, and now has over a terabyte of storage.
holy...
a terabyte of storage.
That's a thousand gigabytes. 1,000,000,000,000 bytes
(yes, I know about SI vs binary values. stick with me here)
My first PC had 4MB of RAM, and a whopping 100MB of hard disk space.
how long before we look back and laugh. "Oh, remember the days? I had a *whole* terabyte of storage! how quaint! my phone has more than that!"
actually, my phone has a 4GB memory card in. A thousand times more than my old PC's RAM.
in other news, I hate this keyboard. It's really clacky and noisy, and my mouse is a cheap piece of crap.
in other other news: yes, I am procrastinating about writing any more of my NaNo.

music, and writing
Nov. 9th, 2008 11:24 pmDo you write whilst listening to music? Or do you prefer just the clatter of the keyboard or scratching of a pen?
I'm currently listening to LĂșnasa, 'Mean Fomhair' from their self-titled album, having tried various other genres with little success. I have to say it's going quite well.
So, dear writer. What do *you* listen to when writing?
