DSP Worx has released a wonderful little shim which uses BASS to allow MOD/S3M/XM and other formats to Windows Media Player.

My laptop has been feeling like it was ‘slowing down,’ quite progressively over the last two weeks.

Of course, it’s been rather warm, and I thought it might have been due to the thermal sensors, but, no, the CPU fan really wasn’t running that hot, and this model laptop has no HD dedicated fan.

Hmm.

So, I decide to check my hard disk. Almost 50% fragmentation. Ow. Now that’s a feat. Of course, only halfway through did the whole system start to ‘stutter’ on a few specific files.

Great.

Abort the optimization, and set for chkdsk. Reboot. Wait three hours. Over 74 dead clusters, and several files lost (thankfully, none belonging to Windows).

So, I let chkdsk fix it. Now what:

Oh. Good. It’s still broken.

Anyone have a spare 2.5” SATA HD that’s at least 80GB they’d like to relinquish control of?

Pretty please?

This has to be the worst thing I’ve ever watched, and I loved Redneck Zombies.

There are no words for the pain… at least it has a common theme for the whole story.. nothing these days can handle that. Yay for the world of ADHD, I suppose.

I’ve been on the internet since the early 90s – heck, I’ve had THIS website up since ’98 (not really impressive, but still, about ten years).

Since my email address has been out there for so long, it’s always, always, always been getting spam. I’ve got several layers in place to quell it, but occasionally, some still gets through.

Normally, I just delete them, but this one is far too awesome to delete without keeping an archive:

THE WORLD SHALL BOW BEFORE MY PENISES MIGHT! I WILL CONQUER COUNTRIES ON MY GIRTH ALONE!
