I think I’ve just given up. I’ve been trying to discern this song for years! Now that I’ve found it, I think it’s one of my favorite 80s songs. I feel old. Too old.
Take On Me? A-Ha? Well, here’s the one we all know and love:
Ok, now, don’t click below unless you want your illusion shattered (It’s an anime happy crappy pop: read: true, non-enhanced) version:
Despite A-Ha’s true video version, I still feel it’s as good as the original. Their awful 80s synth was as good as it could do, and they were playing their guts out.
However, I’ll still refrain to admitting to it being the same song, by the same band. My rose colored glasses are a deep, cherry red.
I find myself seriously lacking hardware, and soon, to be stuck supporting several new systems of various OS.
How do you support it? Software! I’m in the process of creating several various production systems through the joy of virtualization: Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD. This is nothing new – it’s been done for years. However, in a pinch, when it’s stable, it’s good enough for testing and development BEFORE deployment. (For instance, I recently discovered that the grsec Linux patches against 2.6.x cause quite an issue with some unsigned 2.6 modules.)
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?
