The end journey! …or not

Finally copied all the contents of the 500 GB hard disk drive I borrowed!

Now I can return it to the owner ๐Ÿ™‚

The cost isn’t cheap though:

And I just realized that there’s still one folder left to copy…

With total size 20 GB!

OTL

It’s simple: I tried to run (play) Extreme-G 2 on my pc. It’s not that easy though. ๐Ÿ™

After much trouble:

  • ย Find the cd (easy)
  • Install it!
  • It doesn’t work
  • Find the solution
  • Found the solution
  • Download 10 MB apps
  • Yes it works!
  • -with glitch (text not displayed correctly)
  • Find the solution!
  • Solution not found
  • Resorting to laptop
  • Install .NET Framework 3 (for the solution mentioned before) and the game
  • Yes it works!
  • -slowly
  • -crawling, I mean. Like watching slideshow
  • Resorting to old pc
  • Reinstall TNT2 M64 (HA!)
  • The vga doesn’t woooork! (it’s kinda problematic)
  • Finally it works!
  • Interlude: my old USB 2 PCI adapter confirmed doesn’t work anymore
  • Install everything AGAIN
  • YES IT WERKS!

So much trouble for an old game ๐Ÿ‘ฟ

Software choices (I): Archiver

Here’s a new section of this blog: software choices. In this I’ll mention software(s) I have tried ever (mostly for Windows) and share my experience and thought of them and mention which one I prefer most.

Archiver: software to compress/decompress files (losslessly).

In no particular order.

PowerArchiver (last version tried: 7)
————————————-

Probably the best shareware archiver ever. Supports MANY type of files (from zip, rar, ace, 7z, and many more). Good integration with Explorer, very good interface (last I checked its interface looks like Office 2007).

The bad thing is, it is shareware. And interface is the last thing I wanted from a shareware.

WinZip (last version tried: 9)
——————————

It is used to be THE archiver software. Used. It haven’t improved much since version 6. Not many file type supported (no rar, ace, 7z, last time I checked). This is software from the past. Good only to be remembered, not good to use.

WinRAR (last version tried: 3.61)
———————————

Good archiver software overall (just like PowerArchiver). It also has archive recovery (which is good to be used when desperately trying to recover an archive). That’s about it though. I never prefered rar, so being a shareware means that it is not for me to use.

IZarc (last version tried: FORGOT, lol)
—————————————

Freeware! Too bad it has bad Explorer integration (last time I tried, that is). Everything else is good ๐Ÿ™

7-Zip (last version tried: 4.57)
——————————–

Now THIS is the compression software of choice for me. Good Explorer integration, good software, many file type support (minus .ace). Basically this is the archiver software I used for years now. ๐Ÿ˜€

Highly recommended. Except if you already have license for PowerArchiver or WinRAR… :p

That’s it for archiver!

Conclusion: *7-Zip* for freeware, *WinRAR* or *PowerArchiver* for shareware.

Collecting Tiger Stamp (II)

Just completed tiger stamps from Fate route. Total 14 stamps from this route.

And there’s one stamp that requires me to play from the start again (with skip, of course) ๐Ÿ‘ฟ

Heaven’s Feel has the most stamps though, with total of 16 o_O

Also finished UBW Good Ending. ๐Ÿ˜€

New home for animu server

No more this troubling but LOL casing ;_;

Thanks for holding the contents for good 2 years! (or 3? or 1? I forgot, lol) *salutes*

And welcome the new home…

Although it’s a little bit crampy inside, I can actually fit all 8 hard drives (and more) in it ๐Ÿ˜€

Now all that matter is whether it’ll be able to host the contents properly…

(About) 2 weeks left till its full reborn!

Vista SP1!

Windows Vista SP1 has just released!

Get em now for x86 or for x64

…if you’re using Windows Vista, that is.

or planning to install it.

and there’s no support for slipstreaming it on vista installer. ๐Ÿ™

Update: apparently, Windows XP SP3 is around the corner, too.

Back to DVD

Thereby I announce my plan migrating my archiving storage to hard disk drive based has FAILED.

Here are the reasons:

  • My data increases at much higher rate than I can save money to buy another hdd
  • Less storage, less anime at home. Which means if one time hard disk(s) on the server I’m storing all my anime crashed, I’ll be have to download them all again (happened once ๐Ÿ‘ฟ )
  • Albeit fast, much harder to organize stuff (OVER 500 GB UNSORTED STUFF. LOL)

To worse things, I rewrite this post because my original post get eaten by WordPress

OTL

Ran out of storage!

nospace.png

!#*@%@*#^$*#&^@

I got (borrowed) a 500 GB hard disk drive that’s filled with random stuffs…

Now I HAVE to sort out my files and make space for them (like, creating space from about 4 GB of space and 600+ GB of files and only 750 GB total storage I currently own)

Ruriko = that drive

Weak connection is WEAK

WTF.

My connection today (and yesterday)ย  keep disconnecting!

It’s like every 10 minutes there’ll be disconnection for 10-30 seconds.

Not a problem for web browsing or IRC.

But

BIG problem for online games ๐Ÿ‘ฟ

I hope the connection will back normal tomorrow… ๐Ÿ‘ฟ

Huh?

Someone is apparently being desperate finding seeder for School Rumble 2nd Term… which was broad casted ages ago… WTF
