My fellow IT department collegue told me to start coming in for 10 o'clock.

I'm supposed to start work 10 o'clock..

It seems I tend to get in 5-10 minutes late and "people" are noticing [even though only 3 other people are in at that time, not even the manager gets in before me].

I don't feel it justifiable to sacrifice one or two of my nightly enjoyment hours for this job. Strange as it sounds I think I could justify it if I were doing physical work - but no I sit in front of a monitor for 8 hours.

I'm being selfish in ways I know...

I'll just have to push myself from a Nayuki-style walking-while-not-there state quicker somehow before I get properly told off or I crack my head open in the shower >_>

Hmm. Job satisfaction levels seem to be decreasing.

12/01/2010 05:31 AM   [Blog] Lets go unreality
I went from doing nothing, getting into Anime to burn my time only to experience what they are feeling in the cinema in my bed...




I read this which is basically about people who are getting depressed after watching Avatar (the film).d

Now I got to look at this from two sides.

On one hand... their fudgeing stupid. You're not only wishing for something that cannot or at least will not exist on our planet.. but none if it is real... as real as it may have seen through your 3D glasses in the cinema.

Look, the film was fantastic. I saw it in the cinema myself (in 2D, though) and it presents something rather spectacular. A whole other world was thought up and created for this film (and apparently two more) and its fantastic.

Cameron waited for the tech to nail it and he did just that... he's managed to make something that will amaze some and so it seems make people have second thoughts about our own reality.. the grey, dull, repetitive reality that we have to exist in on a day to day basis.

Theres no denying that, folks.. its just how it is and I'm getting used to it myself.




Call me stupid or pathetic but surely you had a second thought as to wondering what the world would be like if you could just exist in it yourself? I did. Many times.

I was sick and tired of this world and it was my family and just the taste of other fake realities that kept me going. Since then I did a course with Open University of which I did decently, carried on with anime, moved to Egypt and now I'm back in Spain, got my first job which later changed from being a Telemarketer to some IT Guy... now my job involves the same technology that brought me to my moments of happiness when I was watching those stories unfold on my PSP in the middle of day with the curtains shut and the door closed.

Slowly but surely I feel like I'm becoming normal.

Just someone else.

Yeah, I don't want to be nobody but that's anybodies fate anyway.

So what I'm accepting is that... well... life isn't all that special. After all. You could experience the greatest moment of your life in your 20s and you'll eventually find yourself withering to death.

You might have had children... and eventually their have children of their own... doing your best to try and make a better place for them to grow up in. Really? Slowly humankind is just registrating this fact of hopelessness as we realize our world had been given up on a long time ago. We are only just realizing it.

Maybe someday I'll read this with a home, wife and children of my own.

And you know what? I don't want to think what would happen.

Even what's coming now. Just on a day to day basis. Slowly, but surely, as I adjust to the mundayne facts of our reality.. destroying all thoughts of the extraordinary.. of even the hope that theres a feeling of true meaning out there.. I'll become more scared, and more afraid of losing what I once experienced.. as little as it was... until I become impaired to experiencing anything like that again. And become a person like everybody else... knowing I was already one anyway.

No, sorry to disappoint, but I haven't been by a thunderbolt.

But somewhere nearby did get struck around 8:15am and scared the crap out of my parents.. who were up... me and my sister got woken up - disturbingly unwelcome >_>

More to the point, the power was gone, it was just the fuse so that was good, then around 9am when I was up - I noticed the router was fudgeed. It was off, and wouldn't come back on.

What does this mean?

Sensei has no internet at home till he gets a replacement router.

I am not amused Knock-knock

31/12/2009 12:34 PM   So... FFXIII
I have it preordered for the March release.

What I am wondering though... do I get the Odin & Shiva FFXIII Shirts?

http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10105989

http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10105996

And even sooner (January), the FFXIII OST (LE)?

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=SQEX-10178

I've played some of the older ones, completed VIII & X, played X-2, done a lot of XII but moved so I can never complete it Erk

And I didn't like IX at all..

One thing for sure though, I love the look of this game, and knowing it'll be a linear-based game, which reminds me of FFX, means there will be no time for breathing so... while I'm certainly not the biggest FF player... I'm certainly excited for this one ^_^

Highlight the post if you can't see

Critical startup failure.




So, about 3am last night I put the laptop to Sleep, and it slept till about 10am when my Sister woke it up.

It suffered an IRQ-Type BSOD almost instantly.

I was in bed, see, and did not want to be disturbed, even if I found out my sister was going into the deep depths of Advanced Startup Repair modes without any foreknowledge of how to use it.

She tried the automated repair system, which was her last stab, and a stab I tried later, and it couldn't detect anything particularly wrong, it was booting, and failing, no bsod it would just go "Starting Windows" for a few seconds then auto-reboot.

Heres where I wasn't particularly amused.

I scheduled the laptop to make System Restore points every day at around 2-3am.

Or so I thought.

It said there were no points available.

"FUCK YOU COMPUTER!" Hihi

The finale was use the Windows Boot Manager to do a Safe Mode boot.

It only got through about have a dozen files (core system files as far as I could tell) before it flashed blue and died.

fudgeed.




I'm able to tell you of my tale because I have dual partitions. I'm on my factory Windows Vista Home Premium in Spanish now. (It only reminds me how I hate vista with a vengence)

I'm copying over the installation image for 7 onto my Sandisk Cruzer specifically for system installations and I'm gonna try do a repair install to get back on track.

Windows is as reliable as its ever been.
