Three things:
-I literally got up this morning JUST so I could walk around in the snow.
-Just as some people have given up on finding 3D partners, I'm about to give up on 3D computers. Especially when their 2D counterparts are so much less prone to hardware failure. >:/
-I would kill to see a genderswapped retelling of Watership Down.

@Bella: Damn you and your snow! It's just cold here ;_;

@idk: i still think playing Mario Kart 64 and Mario Party 3 with you guys would be fun. :\
@bella: kickass! now you just need a hot plate, a water cooler, and an outhouse. :3 at least your christmas gift came in. ^^
also, semi-jealous of your snow. ours didn't last past noon.
:\
@pitkin: i'll get your gift mailed out eventually ;v;
today bella and my friend victoria's dollfies came in the mail. bell's will be mailed out tomorrow, and victoria's will be mailed out whenever i get her address. :\

that said, i'm posting from my grandparents right now, since the internet was broken at my house earlier today. if it doesn't get fixed in a timely manner, hope everyone has a happy holiday, and see you tuesday (that's when the comcast technician is supposed to drop by). ^^

Have you ever had one of those days where advice someone gave you a few weeks ago came back to haunt you by taking a dump all over your good mood? Today is one of those days.

All I'll say about what happened is that I'll likely never, ever use anything OCZ anything using the SandForce controller ever again. When Windows 7 crashes so epically that the BSOD crashes trying to make a memory dump, and Fedora can't even find the drive Windows is on when it boots up (On a separate drive, BTW), you know you wasted $275 on a paperweight of a drive >_<

(Made a quick edit, as it seems the problem is widespread across all SSDs using the same exact controller chip)

As much as I love SSD's, I like the good 'ol fashioned HDD's! I still use my IDE HDD's whenever I have the chance, they have all lasted longer than any SATA HDD I own. The closest I ever come to a SDD on my home computers (and work) is if I load up Ubuntu on a USB and use it with a system.

don't go chasing waterfalls!
stick to the rivers you're used to!

[Nichi]

I'm currently debating over wither to buy another SSD (One that isn't SandForce based) or stick with a mechanical HDD. After all, aside from it feeling a bit sluggish when loading software or patching Windows 7, the 80GB HDD pulled from TARDIS worked well in 2k ^_^

[Krizonar]

Using anything but an SSD feels unnaturally slow now.

So tonight, we celebrate Christmas with my dad's side of the family. I'm making mac & cheese ^_^

Did you try the firmware update?

[Nichi]

Tried it. The Linux-based firmware updater is apparently incompatible with Fedora, but they neglected to say anywhere on their website that it was, say, Ubuntu only >_<

@pentium: tonight has been designated "family night", which would be terrible if it weren't for the fact that we're getting chinese. :3

[Nichi]

Sounds nice ^_^
We never do Chinese food, as it makes my mom sick :/
