Hugs bunny tight

*gropes you as you hug me*

Don't be gone long!

Not at all I hope!

*Hugs tight* I hope the computer'll hold out for you, and/or you can get it fixed without any trouble. And it's good to know that if you poof it's just because of technical difficulties. I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya anyway, though.

Thanks Megan! <3 Last time it happened down here the guy got me up and running in a week or so, but I'm hoping it'll just hold up till I go home April 1.

back it up!

V.

I have two backups here. A flash drive and a portable hard drive. Both kept up to date daily. Besides everything important is already on them.

Take care then Fang

I always do.

Miss you

I'm always here!

I mean miss you being my mom

Ah...well, that was your choice.

It didn't seem right if Im not mated to Cor anymore

I know and agree. It's just one of those things, I guess.

VnV

Yea....

Be good and hopefully you get it resolved. :)

Oh, it'll get resolved when the hard drive dies. I just hope it wiats a couple of months till I'm back in the States and have another computer to use while this one gets fixed.

*huggles the bunny* ;p

*snuggles with you

Well damn: i just rebuilt mine. I wish you luck love!

Thanks. I bought a new one and left it at home cause I like this one better. I might end up wishing I'd brought the new one instead. We'll see.

Owie
Hope you get it sorted out ok.

Nothing to sort till it goes blooey. For now it's just a minor pain in the butt.

Wish I was there, I'd sort it for you.

Techie-bunny here!
*twirls screwdriver and strikes a pose*

Yay! My hero!!

Awww... *blushes*

*facepalm* you know you're a whovian when you see *twirls screwdriver and strikes a pose* ... and immediately picture someone spinning a SONIC screwdriver..................... *goes and hides in a corner*

Well mine is sonic. It makes a noise, see?
*taps it against the wall*

Heh, my main system has been down a while now -- had to load a few (dozen) updates on the old netbook to get back online ...

Happily for you, you have that to fall back on.

Let's just say it's like being used to driving a big car with plenty of horse and having to borrow your mom's car (the one that makes a big difference if you have a head or tail wind to work with/against ...)

But is still better than wearing out shoe leather!

Sure, sure. Computer problems. Right.

We all know what you're REALLY doing in Mexico!

Ya busted me. Yep I'm doing the same thing you're doing in "New Zealand". *wink* Didn't they used to call that Colombia?

Wait, what are you insinuating?

My location is honest! I for one am not engaged in any sort of-


*Looks down the road*


Oh.

There you are.

*paws you a few leaves* Chew on THESE babies for a while. Special GM plants.

*Examines*

'Roundup ready'... I don't think Monsanto knows you have these...

You are soooooo off base. But then that's what I expected.

What can I say? I've been AWOL for about 8 years; they'll never get me back, you hear?

Frankly, I heard quite a few sighs of relief when they realized you probably wouldn't be coming back.

Aaah! So YOU were Sgt Fangs! Tough but fa- tough. I still think the punishment methods you used were a little harsh. Not to mention obscenely biological.

B..but I always gave you a muffin and some orange juice after, didn't I?

Yes, but that would have only been nice if they'd been administered orally!

Picky,picky, picky! *shakes her head sadly at your total lack of appreciation*

You know me Fangs, I believe we were created for a purpose, that there's a natural order for things. It was Adam and Eve, hemp is for rope, food goes in the mouth...

Oh, I see. Now you want to play the straight guy. (girl, I know. but guy is the saying. =p)

Snicker all you want but I am upstanding! I'm as morally straight as a boy scout lea-

As the catholic clerg-

Children's entertain-


Shut up.

*gives a hug*

*nuzzles*

Did you try punching it?

I dropped it off the coffee table onto a tile floor about a month ago. Does that count?
Actually that may have started it acting up......or the hard drive is 2 years old and I use it a shitload so maybe it's wearing out. I dunno how these things go bad exactly.

Hope is a speedy recovery for your computer. I am this close to adding another chapter to the story I've been doing. Wouldn't want you to miss it.

It's still working. I'm just forecasting that it will go sometime in the next few days to months. One way or another I'll get the story. Don't you fret. ;3

Desktop or lappy? If it's a deskie and you have an open slot get another hard drive the use it in a RAID arrangement. That way you have 2 identical hard drives; if one goes kaput replace it and let the other HD copy itself back onto it. Saved me a lot of trouble when one of mine broke.

And, if it's a lappy buy an external HD and do the same RAID with it. This isn't rocket science.....

Thanks for the advice!
Maybe not rocket science but you're still talking about stuff I'm ignorant of. I don't know what a RAID arrangement is. I'll look it up and see about doing that. One thing I don't get though is when you say let the other hard drive copy itself back to the new one, are you talking about the OS? And if so.....once the old one quits booting How would I copy anything off it? Not to mention I have no idea about copying the OS and how to go about it. Or maybe I'll find out some of this when I google RAID?

I DO have all my important files double backed up, so a new hard drive with the OS installed would suffice if this one just quit booting at all. But for that I'd have to have someone with more knowledge than than me do it. Unless my reinstall discs made when it was new work for me, but I don't know if they would, especially since this one isn't the original hard drive already.

RAIDs can be set up where one disc is copied exactly onto another, all the data. When one goes bad you get a notice; the healthy disc runs normally, replace the bad one and the data gets copied verbatum from the good one. Intel "Rapid Storage Technology" is what we use, it manages the data between the discs making sure they both have the same data and monitors HD performance.

We already had to replace one hard drive. We could use the computer while we waited for the new HD, and the software ^ copied the files onto the replacement within an couple hours.

You may have to install/have installed a jumper so both discs are hooked up.

So would you have to be running both disks all the time?

Actually, while this is interesting. Where I am in Mexico, just gettting the second hard drive and stuff would be difficult. I'll be home in California in another 7 weeks and I have a second, brand new, laptop that I keep basically backed up with everything on this one. So if this one goes out I can just use it while replacing the hard drive in this one.

I'm still goint to look into that though once i'm home. It sounds pretty cool. :)
