Upgrading Mac mini

Blog nodes restored from backups of the old Drupal 5.x install.

I'm very proud of myself: last night, I upgraded the hard drive and memory in my Mac mini. Seeing as how not one part of the Mac mini is "user serviceable," this meant I had to crack open the case using a putty knife, amongst other things. But everything went through nice and smoothly, and the new hard drive -- 320 GB -- has a clean install of Leopard on it.

In other news, I'm tired, and the fact that it's a gloomy day outside doesn't really help perk me up. On the other hand, I like days like today over the alternative, sunny with foreboding heat. (Yes, summer has a sense of impending evil or misfortune.)
