Roah

This is why I tell people stealing credit cards is a BAD idea...

So anyway, I received two donations in two days. A $30.00 USD and a $20.00 USD. The $30.00 USD went through no problem, but apparently, the $20.00 USD was sent from a kid who acted without his mothers permission.

So now I've had to go through an entire song and dance with Paypal. And they sure don't like making the dance easy... So now I'm down $21.00 USD. Repaying the $20.00 USD to the account holder and a $1.00 transaction cancellation fee.

God damn it.

Crossing my fingers.

So I recently put in an application for a job at a local electronics store. The position in itself appears to be full time which at the end of so long, will provide me with a certificate three in retail.

I don't care much for the certificate in retail, as I'm not very partial to retail itself and don't plan to make a career out of it. In fact, the only real things about the job I liked was the fact it was a job and it's in an electronics store. Then again, I'm desperate enough to work for pennies.

As for working in an electronics store. I reckon it'd be a fun experience. I can deal with customers, I like technology and I generally get the hang of things really quickly. It probably wont be as cushy as the video store I used to work in, but it craps all over the deli department in a supermarket. Man, that was the crappiest job ever.

So hopefully this time next week, I'll have had a hair cut (sorry ladies, long hair doesn't get me a job!), been to an interview and been pretty much guaranteed the job. Or at least, in a perfect world.

I've applied for lots of jobs in the last few months and have been subsequently shot down reasonably quickly. I'm putting an abnormal amount of hope into this prospect and will be quite disappointed if I fall short. After all, how many unemployed twenty year old technology freaks can there be in this city!? ... I'm going to go cry now...

Nice!

As some of you probably know, I spend a lot of time behind Notepad++ attempting to write meaningless websites I'll never use only to say "hey! I've done that!" And if you didn't know I did that, now you do.

One of the problems I face every single day is peoples refusal to stop using Internet Explorer; or even worse, people refusing to update Internet Explorer in unison. Evident even in this website, are hacky workarounds to make Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8 work along side with Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Safari and Opera. (Although, I couldn't care less about Chrome, Safari and Opera. As I generally don't have to...)

All of these browsers have their own way of doing things. Though generally, Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera tend to work together in most cases, as they are all attempting to be Standards Compliant. Internet Explorer # just has to be a rebel, and even worse, be such a rebel that it doesn't agree with it's previous versions!

So while I was surfing around looking for a neat solution to my website testing, I discovered this little beauty. Apparently allowing you to install simultaneous versions of Internet Explorer to test your websites on. I haven't tested the software yet, as my own desktop is still in the crapper. But I will be looking into it once I've managed to dig myself out of my delightfully cosy hole.

Well, crap...

A momentary lapse in judgement has left me in a rather awkward predicament, to say the least.

I downloaded a piece of questionable software to begin with, knowing fully what could happen in the event something goes down the crapper. However, what I didn't expect was how quickly and how unprepared I was for said crapper exploration.

Now normally, if you're going to go down the crapper, you generally think to remember a plunger (Avast) and a flashlight (common sense). Turns out, I decided to go naked.

Now I'm over the analogy.

Avast was unregistered and the second things went to hell, I fired it up to a lovely "Your computer is dying, but you still need a registration key for your free copy of this software". By the time I had the key and plugged it in, Avast had enough time to tell me my computer was shot before it restarted.

Okay, fine, I can handle that, I'll just go into Safe Mode and run Avast there... No, no I wont. See, whatever the hell I've got now, has decided that whenever the computer starts up, regardless of the account or start up mode, it's going to log me out instantly.

Essentially: Logging in. *windows login sound* ... Saving your settings. Logging out. *windows logout sound*

I've tried using the Windows Repair function of my Windows Disc... Nada. I've tried using a "Free Dos" disc that was laying around, same result. I tried using that Windows Recovery Tool from the XP Disc, same result, hell, I even mindlessly booted up an Ubuntu disc to see what would happen. Not a lot happened.

So now I'm perplexed at what if anything I can do to recover my C drive before I format it. Having only just recently formatted it and cut all my files back onto my hard drive, I don't happen to have any back ups of any recent scripts. Two semi-complete unuploaded websites, the entire collection of Isorath resources AND source code, a card game I was writing up in BYOND for kicks and several other little bits and pieces sporting the many languages I've been playing with. (C++, C#, Java, PHP and DM.)

So I have two options: Kiss all my stuff goodbye, find an alternate solution using the tools at my disposal, or rip out the hard drive, slave it into another computer (essentially risking it's safety) and grabbing all the important files before putting it back in my tower and formatting.

Hey, at least it wasn't a hard drive error. I still have a chance to recover my stuff. =/

(Oh yeah, I updated tiberath.com.)

Darker than Black.

One of the things my brothers and I have been known to do is watch the special features on the anime DVDs we own. Most specifically the trailer section, as we are (or rather, given my current situation, they are) always on the lookout for new and interesting titles.

One such title that grabbed our attention was Darker Than Black. The first DVD volume contained five episodes that we've since watched.

My impression so far is positive. I haven't found any negative things I tend to find in my anime stories. There is no incessant comic relief character whom you just want to be killed quickly and effortlessly to cease his senseless whining (see Jaken from Inuyasha) and there are no overly emo characters that seem like they really need to get laid (see Rukia Kuchiki from Bleach).

It seems to have just the right amount of comedy, action, drama and weird super powers a guy like me enjoys, without all the annoying distractions. Of course, this is only based on the first five episodes, for all I know, the series can die horridly from here. But I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt.

Check it out if you haven't already done so.

On the other side of things, both the trailers to an anime called Glass Fleet look pretty kick ass.

Don't stress too much. I have pesky real world obligations to fulfil as my father wants me to dig up the drive way so he can lay cement. Chipping through gravel and clay with a large and heavy metal pole isn't easy.
