The Hobbit Hole XVIII - Though we pass them by today...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 12/20/2004 9:01:36 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Though we pass them by today...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

I was going to try reinstall first just to see if it'd work. There's always the chance that there's something important that I forgot to back up.

If we don't hear from you in a week we'll assume you killed your computer, then...

Oh, good, then we won't have to send out search parties for you.

I will be so glad when I have my other machine built! It's primarily for storage and backups and testing, but it'll be totally l337 and stuff. I hope to find a nice 100-gig hard drive fairly cheaply somewhere... at least 80 gig, so I can store my anime collection on the computer rather than just on cds.

Thanks, I hadn't seen that site before and that's a bit less than the lowest price I'd been watching.

I've been here... it's so chilly in here, I've been wearing my cape all afternoon. Perhaps putting my desk against the outside wall near the window was a bad idea.
