My options right now are:

A. Buy a computer that is cheap. I don't need complex stuff, so something cheap is sufficient and still better than what I just lost.

B. Convince my parents to put the one I'm on or a different one downstairs in my room.

Either way, I'm gonna try and put the Hard Drive in there, and salvage what I lost.

Edit: And yeah, definitely not due to a Power Surge since the Monitor and Speakers were still on the entire time, and clocks didn't arbitrarily shut off, etc. So its probably just the Power Supply is shot.

He means power supply sending a surge through your whole computer when it dies. Can happen and can fry bits, normally like your mobo and stuff that are a bit more fragile.

Edit - That said, if it is just your power supply dead they are at least kind of cheap.

Ultradude · « **Reply #477 on:** March 31, 2009, 06:58:36 PM »

I have a spare power supply >_<

It's kinda big, but it works.

...boot up the Improbability Drive if you want it anytime in the near future.

In other news: I have an actual bedroom. Goodbye, couch! Hello, privacy! Plushies and figures arranged, posters up, desk in place... yep, feelin' pretty good right now.

Next stop: possible part-time at Taco Bell.

Ahhhh. Good-bye, Kristeva. Good bye, Marie de France. Good bye day I had 3 papers due and now it is time to drink. What's that yeah I still have class whatever shit ptchadms

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot: Helloooooooooooo Acer Aspire One Mini laptop. Bought it for cheap off my coworker. I now feasibly have internet. EVERYWHERE.
...there is wifi. Still. All else, I have a word processor everywhere, which really is what I wanted. Could do with a longer battery life (2 hours is not that great) but yeah.

Alright dudes, I've told some people in chat but I guess I'll post about it now. I'll be moving to Richmond, Virginia[or at least, close to it]. This would put me within driving distance for the con[dad already offered there] and a lot closer to most of the people here, so I'm actually pretty happy. Presumably VA is less of a desert with everything horribly spread apart like AZ, can anyone confirm that >_>?

superaielman · « **Reply #480 on:** April 01, 2009, 03:44:22 AM »

Depends on which direction you go in. Virginia's fairly build up in the southeast and north, that's the only parts I've seen.

Edit: The traffic going through DC on a weekday is scary. Good luck to your dad if he's going to do that.

So I just got back from my Teach for America interview day thingummy. Fun times it was, requiring me to get up at 6am and spend three hours in a room with strange people all trying to get the same job as I, and talk for 45 minutes about how I'm awesome for this and will die without it.

I ate lunch at the Chipotle across the street. M.C. walked by with a group of people. Art Institute students were filming a short piece for class right next to me.

Good times.

ETA: By the way. Since Teach for America received 43% more applications this year than they did last year, for the first time ever they're implementing a wait list. I am expecting to be on that wait list or rejected, so time to go back to job searching. And school.

Good day yesterday.

Did a CE presentation where I played an April Fool's joke on the entire pharmacy department that the hospital was bought out by Amgen. Fun times. Went really well.

Also, my research abstract for the NACCT (North American Congress of Clinical Toxicology) got accepted. Which means I get to present it at a national meeting in September. And will get published. This is awesome.

Computer failed.
Much money spent.
Back online with it... I think.
I don't trust it. It's a trick. Get an axe.
Life sucks.

Mad Fnorder · « **Reply #484 on:** April 06, 2009, 03:52:28 AM »

I actually have a decent older machine (Can struggle and run modern games, for example) that I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with. I'd let it go for super-cheap if you mind picking it up from here.

Ranmilia · « **Reply #485 on:** April 06, 2009, 02:39:05 PM »

I think I'm good now.
I think.
Maybe.

Depending on where "here" is, though, there might be quite a few DLers who would be interested?

I am reclusive. I've successfully built a high-schoolish project due in college 3D and it worked. You were supposed to buy 1/8 inch dowel rods, etc etc etc, build a tower. Mine held through. Good. It was wobbly. I picked the most imperfect design.

I am still reclusive. That research paper I have due is crying. I have a late fee on top of a past late fee at the library, but unfortunately I have no cash to pay it because the ATM only takes out 20 dollar increments, which would cause me to overdraft.

It is still fucking cold in Ga. I wore a tanktop thinking it was going to be warm, and until I noticed WHY people were staring at me boobs in the chilling winds, I returned back to the car and got my jacket.

Wasn't too reclusive Sunday. Watched Tokyo Drift and Too Fast Too Furious with Charles. D: !!!! I was semi-reclusive, as he had clearly dilineated the only area I could build my tower in, in his bedroom. Needless to say, I wasn't too messy.

I have a French test at 1:30, I have this big long ass bullshitty motherfucking reading for Methodology that I think I'll read AFTER the class. I read half of it. Half after. Sounds fair.

I'm so ready for the semester to be over, though I've been supporting that idea since classes began . . . .

Lady Door · « **Reply #487 on:** April 07, 2009, 12:29:55 AM »

I'm ready for this semester to be over too.

Finished one of my papers last night -- 15 pages on pamphlets about witch trials as literature -- and have another one due next Tuesday -- the significance of hall culture and light in the cleansing of Heorot. Have a book review due April 21, a take-home Latin exam at some point in the next three weeks, and then nothing but finals. And then I'm free~!

Random House emailed me today. I had applied for their Associates Program, an entry-level position which cycles you through all the departments of a publishing house over the course of a year. The application deadline was March 15. Today's email was to let me know they'd suspended the program this year, kthxbai.

... yeah. Thanks for the heads up, RH.

Changed account name.

Somehow a co-worker came across this http://www.rpgdl.com/wiki/index.php?title=RPGDL_IAQ_Rough_Storyboard on Google. (Yes I have co-workers Googling me.) That led them here, and while everyone alive knows I play RPGs, I really don't censor myself here like I typically do on the internet. That, and my name is too damn uncommon for my own good. Sooo, back to my old WoW name I go!

Tried to find my disc for Final Fantasy 9, since I own the original.

Can't find it. Do I download? Nope. I find KareKano DVDs.

That'll keep me happy until I can sort the mess and find my disc!

Lady Door · « **Reply #490 on:** April 07, 2009, 11:54:28 PM »

So you know how I posted that my brother was going insane and was going to fly off to Colorado with no notice, no money, etc.?

We talked him down to visiting for a week. So he did that.

He came home a day early because he got dumped.

... ouch.

superaielman · « **Reply #491 on:** April 07, 2009, 11:56:28 PM »

....Ouch. We'll go with ouch on that one.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #492 on:** April 08, 2009, 12:03:02 AM »

It's pretty brutal, but at least, the worst possible outcome didn't land into the worst possible context. While super's "ouch" is accurate, honestly it might be a bit of a relief, particularly long-term.

Xeroma · « **Reply #493 on:** April 08, 2009, 12:13:29 AM »

Pretty much what Snow and Super said, really. At least he didn't end up trying to actually move into that damned place.

Lady Door · « **Reply #494 on:** April 08, 2009, 12:42:22 AM »

He grew up a lot in that one week. I hear he also got horribly, totally drunk and got so sick he vowed to never drink again. >_> When he got dumped, he had to find somewhere else to live, so he did the calling around for friends, arranging rides, etc.

Sad for him, but I'm proud! And very glad that he didn't try to move out there.

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #495 on:** April 08, 2009, 06:06:09 AM »

What the hell did he do that changed everything from 'Of -course- you can live with me and everything will be perfect' to 'GTFO, you're dumped!' ?

That's a -really- quick about-face. Even for an internet-only girlfriend.

Grefter · « **Reply #496 on:** April 08, 2009, 08:21:15 AM »

He probably ended up being a guy instead of a hot bi-curious lesbian.

NotMiki · « **Reply #497 on:** April 08, 2009, 12:46:12 PM »

I dunno, makes sense to me. There's a lot that doesn't convey in texts and the odd photo, you know (even if people ARE telling the truth).

For example, everyone who's met Grefter knows he has that...thing. You know the one I'm talking about, the thing that...you know. Yeah, that one. I know I was shocked.

Hah, good times. I enjoyed building an overpowered, yet one-dimensional ball lightning character with no staying power.
