PC

Pretty much anything computer related except for Apple Computers, which has its own category. I run a custom desktop computer with Windows XP for video gaming and anything requiring a lot of power, and an Acer Aspire One netbook that I take with me for work. I also sometimes talk about PC news.

God Dammit

That damn 200gb killed itself AGAIN. On the very same day I called microsoft to reactivate windows. Lost my episodes of Sailor Stars and maybe the mp3s, though most of those should be on the laptop and ipod. Very mad...

Before break is over I plan to have at least an interface, if not a purpose for Aphelion and maybe submit stuff to deviantart if the hard drive didn't eat it. Oh yeah, and my pilot's license too.

God damn its late..

Active Partition Recovery

It's a Tense situation, but the data transfer from the bad NTFS Partition to a healthy FAT32 Partition began about 13 hours ago. Estimated time to completion: about 10 hours or so. 61.9 GB must be transferred.. There were initial problems, such as the recovery floppy disk commited suicide about 5 minutes before the operation. Luckily, it was saved as a backup of the disk was made about 10 minutes prior to that. Also, the backup 100gb housing anime and the remaining backup files was almost formatted. Luckily, the operator double tripled checked, and unplugged the 100gb drive before the operation, as to prevent any similar occurance when the backup drive was corrupted. Once the partition is copied, it is unknown how the data will be presented, whether the files will be ready, or a giant image file. Further operations may be necessary.
Hope I have insurance...

Blah

Computer decided my D Drive, which housed all my music, backup files, and documents was bad, and corrupted the partition while it formatted the other drive. Great, Just great. No more files for me. All the anime should be ok. Computer also decided Ti4200's are bad, as it just corrupts the desktop and makes the screen cut out a lot when the drivers are installed. Oh, and Microsoft says I have activated Windows too many times...

So I bought a mac:

Avoiding the subject

Well I'm trying to put off working as long as possible, so I'm playing with the website again. All my fans must have noticed my long neglect of this site. I want to play with it more, but I am still pretty busy. This Saturday determines a lot of what is going to happen for the next few weeks, so I'll know around then. I want to find a good way to do anime reviews and integrate them with the current anime page without the anime page becoming too complicated. You'll see...

I installed a lot of my old games and some new ones, now that I have hdd space. I think this is all I have installed at the moment:

Quake III Arena
Unreal Tourney 2003
Flight Simulator 2004
Combat Flight Simulator 3
Crimson Skies
Battlefield 1942
Jedi Outcast
Jedi Academy Demo
Jedi Academy Beta
Halo Beta
Half - Life
Oni
Ghost Recon
MechWarrior 3
Wolfenstein:ET
Need For Speed: Porsche 2000
GTA 3

awww yeah!

Best Buy is noob!

Returned my old LCD today to Best Buy. It had a bright green dead pixel in the lower left section of the screen. Most LCD manufactorers don't accept returns unless it has 3 or more dead pixels, but Best Buy will...

Good thing too, because the green was really annoying.
