Not sure if it's deserving of it's own thread, so I'll just post here:

I recently bought a couple of hard drive enclosures to convert some old laptop hard drives to external drives. The one laptop HD worked perfectly, but my older IBM hard drive is stubborn. I didn't realize there was going to be the difference (both laptops were just two years apart in age)

Seems the IBM has this PATA hard drive: https://www.archmemory.com/pata.jpg
And the hard drive enclosure I picked up only fits this drive: https://www.archmemory.com/sata.jpg
Here's the enclosure I picked up: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817729011

Is there anything I can pick up to convert it from PATA to SATA? Or should I just look for a PATA enclosure and be done with it?

I know nothing about this, but googling "PATA to Sata convertor' brings up a lot of things, but I suspect that getting a new enclosure is simpler.

Hi Lodge. Back from NoDak. Wasn't as bad as it could have been. Boring though.

Belated Happy Birday Ewe!

Am on a borrowed laptop. My regular one is being rebuilt with Windows 7 (had Vista). Was supposed to happen yesterday while I was in ND - didn't.

That's what you think. You'll be fist pumping and not even realizing it when you get back.

It will leave its mark however. I strongly encourage bathing in bleach, jersey is incredibly dirty.

I just got a work email reminding all employees how to walk in the winter. 10 rules to follow while walking from your car to the building during the winter. Has it really come to this? Are people this stupid?

Which foot do they recommend you lead with when starting to walk?

Are you guys hiring a lot of SCSU grads recently?

[bigmrg74]

Grrrrrrrr...... Really boring today, there been 3 clients here today, and none of them were mine. Nothing else booked for me either yet. All but ready to offer up some special idle hands discount to anybody who calls here. I would post the number, but somehow I know that we would get a bunch of crank callers from Minnesota most likely.

The bathroom thread has potential...

No, but apparently they say we can no longer carry anything into the building that requires 2 hands, or talk on the phone while outdoors at work. Luckily for me, I ignore all of that BS and just go about like I usually do, because I'm not a ****ing idiot.

Not that I know of, though possibly in HR...

That'd be a hell of a situation.

Wait...

Sweet, I can re-bleach my hair. Should I bathe in hair gel and Axe afterwards?


...

Maybe I need to go have some hot dish.

I gave myself the day off from work and spent the morning getting in the Christmas spirit. I joined some friends at an inner city school--for a fund-raising effort--helping cut evergreen garlands, loading Christmas trees on a truck for delivery to various neighborhoods in and around Denver and put the finishing touches on Christmas wreaths people will be hanging on their doors. I tried to help the effort a bit by buying four wreaths, all of which we'll give to family and friends.

After that I joined a buddy of mine for lunch and then stopped at a store to buy some poinsettias for my wife and me to give to neighbors as Christmas presents. It's not exactly wintry weather today as the temperature is currently sixty-three degrees in our 'hood. More like golf weather than hockey weather.

It was a terrific way to spend the morning and I'd do it again in a minute. Enjoy the rest of your day folks.

Remember, I also spent some days not with you guys. :P

Although I still haven't seen Casa Bonita or whatever the hell that restaurant is, in the Mexican ghetto. Hey, remember that dead/passed out guy?

yes, I'm well aware. My point is the Denver metro is quite vast, to the point that I have barely scratched the surface myself. There's a lot to still show you.

I'll take you to Casa Bonita next time. It will be my first time too...so we'll enjoy it together. Quiz says their margs are good...and that's about it.

Dead guys in Mexican ghettos? Satan horses? Christ on a cracker, do I really want to make this trip??

like Twitch said, Colfax is an experience. We can buy you a hooker, if you want. There's also the western Bingo's monopoly equivalent there. The blue horse of doom is some crappy statue of a horse that is creepy beyond belief. It has giant horse junk too. Disturbing

Have you been to the Brewery Bar II lately? or at all? It's a dive but great Mexican food.

Brewery Bar II sucks.

Actually, most Mexican food sucks.

Just Minnesota? Midwest bias!!!1!
