Planet SoC

Ugh. I broke the first rule of hunting. I spilled my beer. I wasn’t really hunting at the time, but unfortunately the beer landed on Das Keyboard. Its had a cycle through the dishwasher as I’ve heard to do once it started spazzing out, so I’m using a `regular’ keyboard for the time being.

Classes don’t seem as interesting as I thought they would be, and I’ll have to learn Java (again), but at least my schedule isn’t bad.

Finally figured out how to get Vista to boot with AHCI (SATA) drives. Turns out that Vista will disable drivers that aren’t in use at every boot. Problem: what if we’ll need those drivers to boot later? The fix involved navigating regedit. I’m still trying to figure out why Alienware shipped them set to IDE mode by default.
