So I just finished an exhaustive chapter on hard drive technologies in my A+ book. Computer geeks have a sense of humor when naming various things. Like RAID drives. Honestly, I suppose it's supposed to be a "Redundant Array of Independent Disks". But the book says it's a "Random Array of Inexpensive Disks". RAID, much like Hell, has 7 levels. I guess when you're dealing with a collection of random inexpensive disks, it can probably resemble Hell. There's another version of RAID out there, too - the JBoD - "Just a Bunch of Drives/Disks". The author of my A+ textbook uses "woot" a lot, too. I'm thinking this is actually "The Complete Idiot's Guide to A+ Certification" but with a fancier & therefore more expensive text-book cost, title. But hey, since the quizzes are written for the text & I pass all my quizzes, I don't really care.

I did indeed download a bunch of They Might Be Giants tunes, and the Gypsy Kings (much to Rob's dismay, since I had to play them through to make sure I didn't get corrupted files), Maroon 5, and some Lily Allen & Breaking Benjamin. I'm not sure if Breaking Benjamin is emo - I'm suspicious that they might be, but fuck it, I like 'em. Next time I come up w/a playlist meme it might surprise me w/Bamboleo or something. There are a couple of songs out there that I want - the video for one has a naked woman dancing with a sheet w/things projected on it - I think it's something like "I Love Her Every Color" or something like that, & another by someone who sounds a lot like the lead singer of the Gypsy Kings (Nicolas Reyes), but I can't think of a string of lyrics. I can't find the "her every color" song at all. They play the Gypsy-King-singer-clone song at work occasionally, but since I'm out front again, I can't usually hear the overhead music (especially with the competition from Dick's Last Resort now).
