As someone who was quite reluctant to switch at first, having gotten used to 7 and fallen in love with many of the features, XP feels like a sludgy dinosaur.

My 5 AM tinkering has hopefully fixed our laptop

Or not. Said laptop is now completely borken. And I am rather unlikely to get a new one in the forseeable future. Assuming I can force our friend to take this one back ¬_¬

Ah crap, I'm screwing around with computer issues and being a smug prick, while Vector's having real problems.  I don't even know what I missed.

Empathy is good, and I don't mean to belittle that, but you also shouldn't feel self-centered or petty just because someone else has worse problems.  If I'm not mistaken, this thread is for venting and support (when necessary), no matter the problem.

I don't think I'm the only one to think so, either.

I'm pretty sure this isn't "the things that are sadder than other people's things -snip-" thread. Saying that someone can't be upset about something because something worse happened to someone else is a fallacy.

A few days ago I had this sudden, crippling attack of fear at the prospect of going to a four-year college and no longer cruising through Community College which is basically High School 2: Electric Boogaloo.  Now I keep having sudden rushes of anxiety when I think about it.  Oh well.  I've stumbled through worse things without knowing what was going on.

After 2 hours of download/install and the creation of a new account, it ends up my internet connection is to crappy to play LaTale.

Having a terabyte hard drive after languishing for years in 140gb hell is giving me horrible habits.  I just looked around on my computer and realized I haven't deleted anything since I got the new hard drive.  It's a mess.

High School 2: Electric Boogaloo.

I see this sort of thing a lot, but where in all the depths of a the hells that ever were, weren't, or may be did it come from?


On-topic: the proxy I installed to make downloading patches easier times out three-quarters of the way through every download.

I wish I could tell you that will get better, but it probably won't.  It was mostly my own fault, but the entire time I was in college (with no Community breezer inbetween), I always had this little fear in the back of my mind that one day, soon enough, I'd get a letter or a phonecall saying that my money wasn't good enough.  That I should be going going gone.  Hell, even after I graduated, until the day my diploma arrived, I kept expecting a "we regret to inform you" letter.  Once I actually got it, I knew terror like I'd never known terror before.  Because after going to school for nearly twenty of my twenty-three years of life, for the first time ever, I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do tomorrow.

But then, I stumbled through grade school without knowing what was going on, through high school without knowing what was going on, through college (four years in six no less) without having a fucking clue what was going on, and now maybe possibly getting a real job without knowing what I was ever supposed to be doing.  Point is, the anxiety is as meaningless as it is inevitable.  Plans and goals are for overachievers, shit works itself out if you just keep doing what you think you should be doing today.

Yeah, I have a terabyte myself now, and everything thing in the world to fill it.  After years of juggling between three or four installed games on 70ish gigs, this is going to be a trainwreck.

Awwwww HELL naw.

you do not put a shortcut to my computer on the desktop

Right click desktop -> personalise -> desktop icons.

there's checkboxes for my computer, my documents, etc.

you can also make it look like 98 from that area too.

My dad has been acting like a cock recently.

If it makes you feel any better, Bay12 Night at the Theater was awesome.  You should definitely do that again some time.

Well... don't worry about it too much.  Thanks for the appreciation... I'm glad you enjoyed it.


Right now, I am fucking angry because my Russian professor implied that doing cultural research was okay for the extra credit, but instead has now informed me that we need to do the extra credit from her little folder online.  I finished all of the "extra credit" for the entire semester.  The entire semester.  It took AGES.  I worked so hard on it this spring break.

RAUGH!  I want to cry.  In fact, I am crying, because I can't deal with this right now.

EDIT: HOURS AND HOURS of translating from French into English because the English sources were inadequate for what I wanted to research.  I worked so hard on getting good topics.  Just... ugh.

Damn. I feel sorry for you, Vector.

Seems there's a lot of those at bay12 lately... What did he do, if you don't mind me asking?

He's been constantly insulting and threatening my mum. At least he dosen't cause any physical harm to mum anymore.
