OOC: Headaches, Hard-disks and Holidays

As the title suggests that’s mainly what’s been going on lately. My hard drive died taking everything on it with it to the big computer graveyard in the sky (thanks Western Digital) so rather than crying over spilt milk – time to get a new one.

I decide on a nice shiny SSD figuring if it’s good enough for CCP then it’s good enough for me. It should also help the grid load a lot faster on warp in (that should have been a clue my disk was dying).

I order it and hope it arrives before my scheduled 3 day break in Barcelona. Does it? Does it hell! When I return home I find I do indeed have a package waiting. Yay! Time to unwrap, install and get on EVE again. Opening the package I find not what I expect (a hard drive) but instead a hardware raid card (wtf!?!). Back it goes, and finally, today I get what I’m looking for :D

That covers the holiday and hard-disk. The headache you ask? Well partly from the hard disk saga, and partly from drinking too much on holiday :p

See you real soon.

    Hey Mynx,

    Yeah things are ok, just having a load of trouble with my PC at the moment. Looks like it’s pretty screwed and I’m still sorting the funds to get another one (or getting it fixed). Sadly I can’t play from work any more either as the new firewall has put a stop to that :(

    Hoping to see you all v soon, take it easy.
