| People ... a little info update.
My laptop's hard drive suffered a critical failure and stopped responding several weeks ago.
Bad news is, I lost plenty of data (including the new Nightfire mesh and my recent progress I made on the novel I'm writing among other things).
The good news is I replaced the hard drive with a new one which has 160 gb (about 2.5x larger than the last one) and I think it's possible to salvage some of the files on the old drive.
I just have to hook the old drive to the desktop computer via the proper connector (which I have) and try to read it.
The last time I tried it, Windows kept searching for a new device to no end.
I will keep trying though as I don't think the HD is that badly damaged.
The laptop I am using for most of my stuff now is a budget one I bought in London 2 years ago.
Inspiron 1300, 1.6 GhZ Celeron M, 2 GB of RAM DDR2 (upgraded from 512 over the years) and a recently replaced HD drive.
I overclocked the CPU using the pin mod so it's working on 2.1 Ghz, but the pin I used it not holding apparently and the speed is back to the old 1.6 GhZ ... will have to modify the pin a bit or use a new one to bring it back up.
Anyway ... I will start working on this mesh soon after I exhausted most of the options of retrieving the data from the old HD.
Also, I am going to the UK embassy again in about 10 days to settle the student visa (this time I'm better prepared and have even more documentation ... not that the previous documentation was insuficcient, but I thought to go there this time with a bit more just in case).
Anyway ... I will keep you updated on the progress guys. |
