redbird: closeup of me drinking tea, in a friend's kitchen (Default)

As I mentioned, my fancy boots arrived recently. I have duly oiled them (with mink oil). And I just tried putting them on.

The right boot is snug. The left one is too snug. (Yes, my left foot is the bigger of the two: it's also the one the vendor made a sketch and loose mold of, for the artisan to work with.)

Tomorrow morning I'm going to try what I meant to do today, namely to put them on early in the day, when my feet are smallest, and wear them for a bit then.

If that doesn't work, I am going to have to call the boot company. (If it does seem to work, I will extend the process over a few days and see how it goes, bearing in mind that I can't spend significant time on this on a workday morning, nor do I want to have to change shoes partway through the workday.)

Does anyone here have experience of a "dynamic disk"? It appears to be something that can be done under Windows XP and has options including setting up RAID 5 on one disk. I asked [personal profile] cattitude for his opinion of that versus a basic disk, and he'd never heard of dynamic disks.

So, the questions are, does this have any clear advantages, what are the disadvantages, and is it supported under Windows 7?

ETA: [personal profile] spacecrab answered this: it's a server thing and not actually relevant to anything I'd be doing.
