Do not friend me if you came here because of the bots.

Hi , welcome.
I have an old-fashioned view on "friends" - do not add me without striking up a conversation first.

More than half my entries are friends-only, but there is plenty of history for you to read.

You probably already know this, but I like nine inch nails. I co-maintain both nine_inch_nails and nin_news, the largest Nine Inch Nails LJ community. (see?)
I've worked many years, with some great people, to build a focused community. I recommend you Join nin_news, but you know I'm biased.

( in 2006, I joined the ranks of the braggarts that you hate, who constantly point out that they've been overseas )

( nympholept probably doesn't mean what you think it means )

I has bad instincts: someone tried to jack my car, my reaction was fight instead of flight
Very strange few days
not talking about GTA
They got spooked and ran

Snake in the house - for a minute there, i forgot which country i was in.

I dont find dying leaves to be impressive. Probably because it means 'no water' to me.
people wasting water here (like its unlimited) shits me to no end, btw

I lie, i had totally noticed that, because i half-made a store-and-send updating system 3 years ago. But decided to just take my laptop. Unwieldy to use anyway.

Why was it that i thought the light would bring enlightenment?

'someone' looked here yesterday. She knows she triggers sms alerts, WHY does she look?

chaos!

Im unsure why.

Ouch, who turned on the lights?

Damn, its today already?

Uh oh. Ill.

One of these days ill probably regret not introducing myself to people in line. When that happens, i will need all of you to remind of how much everyone sucks

Whats a word for someone who cant decide what they would do in a hypothetical situation?

This place is a mine field and i am not lying enough

Ha ha. Im not entirely crazy.

Pulled over for speeding, cop asked about A.I.R. flag sticker. :(

Easy renaming out of the way, 82 hard renames to go. Ill leave the 700 titles for tomorrow. I need a drink.

some guy on npr just pointed out that many other developed countries laugh at the usa. Goodbye t.r.reed, you cant say that! have fun in terrorist prison

223 concerts to rename, 521 to relabel. 3 days until deadline.

And then my laptop drive usb interface fried, causing a 5 minute panic where i thought the laptop drive itself was dead. That was my only 2.5in drive adapter :(
Luckily, I don't need no stinking adapter, although the process of making a backup then restoring the default backup was a little more time consuming.

It was the exact same problem I had last time. hal.dll missing or corrupted.
I can't find any references to any virus causing this, and in any case, it couldn't have been a reinfection from the same source, because I didn't reinstall anything suspicious. (I did run a keygen, but it was a different crack, and it appeared to be clean!)

something must be causing it, but I haven't the foggiest what it is.
I downloaded vmware, so i'll install XP in it and test things in there before installing anything

maybe this new laptop drive is just dodgy. Which doesn't explain why NO normal recovery method worked.
fortnightly reinstalls aren't that fun - i'm a little scared to reboot at all any more.
Still, no data loss, although I really should back up my files more often.
I have a couple of blank drives, so i could do nightly drive-copies, but that seems like overkill, and massive power wastage.

it also ruined my plans for the day - it's almost as if any plan i make is destined to go wrong - that's the kind of thinking that can be very self-fulfilling, so i should stop it.
the day wasn't a total loss, however.

And another laptop boot problem.
