Well, here's my little midnight update of what will either become my success or failure. I got my server set up so fast I actually felt dizzy from writing the DNS records so fast. I'm still having trouble getting a critical component to work - it's NEVER failed like this before, and I just don't understand why. Microsoft are so out of favor it's ( Read more... )

Well, seeing as I have a spare three seconds, I think I'll write about what I'm doing. This is amazing ( Read more... )

I owe a debt of gratitude to Vincent. Thank you. He pushed me to think of alternative after alternative until I came up with the boldest option to get myself back to Boston. It's worth the chance, and I'm not afraid. :)

Thank you, Vincent.

YAY I've got my data back. With the help of two data recovery programs, I've found what I was looking for. Now I'll just pick out each file one by one and recover them. I'm going to delete my music collection though - that's just going to be too tedious to recover. There are more important things to do - plus I hate most of it anyway, so I'll just ( Read more... )

So, I'm sitting here completely retarded because I'm so tired talking to Sarah from The Superjesus...

I'm sitting here, renaming a load of tracks, and rewriting the ID3 tags. I downloaded several Matchbox Twenty albums, and in the process of sorting out my mp3s, and realized I could write a better program to download and manage P2P downloads. Wouldn't it be good if when you downloaded an mp3 file, the ID3 tags etc were correct, and consistent? How ( Read more... )

Go watch this: Barb Tarbox Video. This scares the hell out of me, even though I don't smoke any more.

Well, I'm done with the crap in my music collection. Since when do I listen to Green Day any longer? No, I'm done with that and it's going. In fact, I hate so much of my music collection, I don't listen to it anymore. I've got stuff to download that I originally copied to MD from Jordan's music collection and can't upload, and stuff I know I want. ( Read more... )
