Time for a rare rant non-concert post...

So, Logitec (a small Japanese tech company, not to be confused w/ Logitech, a much larger US tech company) has these external network share drives, one of which I picked up quite a while back. 300G drive in an enclosure w/ an ethernet port, plug it in & it sets itself up as an SMB (windows) share, which ( Read more... )

First off, a bit of normal non-live updates *gasp shock*...

( long-ass computer rant T_T; )

I'm so fucking sick of tagging a group of files, only to import them into iTunes and have the OLD tags (which they came with) show up instead. Call me crazy, but when I edit a bunch of tags, and the 2 different tools I use to do so clearly show that they've been updated, I kinda expect any other program to show the same thing. I do NOT expect to ( Read more... )

We got to hear the new single- which sounds pretty much like most of his other singles ( Read more... )

Friday 7/27

Got up, headed to the Mission & had burritos for lunch. Yeah, we'd just had Chevy's the night before, but damnit, BURRITOS. SAN FRANCISCO BURRITOS. 'Nuff said. Stopped at the bank to deposit Girl's check (they helpfully scribbled out her balance afterward so I couldn't read it, as if I didn't already know it was damn near empty, ( Read more... )

My laptop's drive crashed a couple weeks ago. It'd been making noises for a while, and like a complete & utter dumbass, I failed to back up the important stuff that was only on there (like, all my album art from last year's massive mp3 tagging, and all my financial data from the last year, plus tons of bookmarks...). Plugging it back in via USB ( Read more... )

I just tallied all my FINANCE CHARGE entries from the last 1.5 years and realized that I've spent nearly $800 on credit card interest since moving here... -_-; Guess that's what happens when you have to pay a year's rent on credit and don't have a steady income... Gar. Just signed up for a new card which'll give me 8 months of 0% on a transfer, ( Read more... )

We have fiber! Yaaaay... actually, the first half of yesterday SUCKED, since the router we have could NOT maintain a freakin' connection, and every time it dropped, it wouldn't reconnect for several MINUTES in between (which, when you're trying to run a server, is aggravating, esp. when it gives you a new IP every time -_-;), but after plugging ( Read more... )

明けまして御目出度う御座います & stuff...

Had a fairly busy ~2 weeks in the US (aside from the first stretch in SF, where we didn't do much more than sit around watching Food Network, thanks to Girl being sick -_-;). Got haircuts, stopped in at school & saw Asano & Minami sensei, & gave a quick demo to Martha of the digital cel coloring techniques I stole from ( Read more... )

So remember how I asked my building people in like, October, if I could install fiber? And the guy was all "Yeah, sure, go ahead."? And how when NTT came, they were all "Oh, no, you need permission from the whole UNION of owners"? And how they were like "OK, we'll have a meeting in November." And then how suddenly a CABLE company's TV/internet ( Read more... )
