New Computer!
I've purchased a new computer, and I'm currently in the throes of setting everything up. The new machine has Windows 11, which means it's throwing me all these "suggestions" about using Microsoft this and that for everything and why don't I have all my files stored to the cloud (how about "no"?). Fortunately I am well-practiced at not listening to the silly things Microsoft is suggesting.
So I'm busy downloading all the software I need to re-install (or pulling it off my plug-in hard drive, as in the case of Libre Office and Scrivener - tried downloading the latest update of Libre Office and got failures three times running, at which point I'm like "okay, done, pass the older version I know worked").
The eventual aim of the new machine is I'm going to be using it for gaming, particularly FFXIV (downloading it just in time to have the next patch hit on Tuesday... I must be a masochist). But in the meantime, I'm busy re-installing all the stuff I used to use, and getting this new machine set up to suit my purposes. Fortunately, I took a backup of my bookmarks before I changed over to the new machine, so I'm going to be able to just pull those off the list as needed (and dig through the previous backup for older bits of fanfic that I want to re-read). Maybe one day I will get around to ensuring that all my bookmarks across all my versions of Firefox synch with each other... but today is not that day.
Back to the data mines...
