Here I am again complaining about insufficient time. Unlike racing games in the arcade, I do not get any Time Extensions for completing a project nor can I afford to extend time by inserting another token because time is expensive money!
The Saturday and Sunday I had was rough. My webserver keeps freezing and I attribute this to the failing 3.2GB drive. I have converted my mirror raid to stripe just to be safe, and was able to back up my data before it died. And I gave up another day of gaming to clean up my room. Feels good to throw away 3 bags of old toys and other garbage. I need to make more room faster than I can fill them up with manga.
My account on Japan’s Lineage 2 got banned. Most probably because I supplied a fake address. A Japanese online friend is willing to help me talk to the GMs (GameMaster) and see if she could get it unbanned. Yes! SHE! I have heard of girls playing games but knowing a Japanese female who plays MMORPGs well kind of surprises this old-fashioned me. Oh well, pray I get unbanned so I can donate my US$50 worth of equipment to her guild. I would feel much better if all my effort goes to the benefit of someone rather than getting deleted in cyberspace. Her guild had been very hospitable to me and I feel they deserve it.
I went down to SimLim Square last Friday to check on the ThermalTake Tsunami casing that I’ve been yearning for. It turned out to be only 75% of what I imagined it to be. The mirror finish wasn’t exactly that “mirror”. The small picture shown on that site looked smooth and like mirror only because it was a small photo. The silver stripe in front was kind of shaky, but I think I can make it firm with some blutack. The front panel requires some force to open. Probably because the stuff was brand new and it’ll get easier as time passes. Best of all, the price is only $238, not $285. Might buy it soon. My first step towards a more powerful and good looking computer. [XD]
