Restored Memories

Back on april fools day my external drive fell off my desk, and stopped working soon after. The thing about that drive was it was not only my back up, but it was also the place I had all the unedited versions of my photos from the last 15+ years. So the idea of losing all of that was painful. I knew what I had to do to get my files off but at the time I didn’t have the money. In fact I didn’t for the longest time. But I finally did it, just barely, and it’s all on my new drive. The only difference between this and the other before is the last one was 6 Terabytes while this one is 8.

When I got the drive there was four folders everything was in.

  • “!=Contains bad sectors, and missing folder name and location, but maybe working”
  • “!=Contains bad sectors, and sorted by extension, but maybe working”
  • “!=Missing folder name and location”
  • and “!=Sorted by extension”

I have all the photos in the missing folder name and location sorted, which took all day. Now the hard part is the one sorted by extension because there is easily 10’s of thousands there and I didn’t even know where to start. There are lost files and so far it’s in the very low hundreds. I’m going to hate these next few days.

No Dumping!

It bothers me a lot when I see disposable masks being tossed on the ground after use. I mean, there are trash cans all over the place when in shopping centers. Or just place a paper bag in your car and dump your trash in there, then empty it when you get home. No reason to litter!

Sometimes I Feel Like…

Somebody is watching me. One of the new features blizzard added to warcraft is for NPCs to look right at you when you come close to them. Even if it’s meant to be static, as you walk around the head will move around to keep their face looking directly at you. Not sure if this part of the feature was supposed to happen in such a situation.

I’m Busy…

It’s been awhile since I had some camgirl/bot message me. Recently I had a friend request sent to me by someone who was friends with other friend of mine. And from the same town from him to so I figure they might be cool, why not. They started to ask a bunch of personal questions, and how she is also a hair stylist, then it turned into this. I mean, I just met you and already want to video chat me?

I talked to my friend and said he blocked the account already. Then I saw two other friends added her and let the know of the problem. Then I saw the account was disabled so that ended the problem.

Gathering Forces

Still on the Death Rising binge in WoW. This part of the campaign I really lie a lot. Very powerful rare mobs timed to pop up in certain locations every 20 minutes. And just a few minutes before you have dozens of others laying in wait for them to spawn just for the chance to kill them and get some phat loot.

Pile It On

More from the Death Rising event in WoW. In the main new content area for the game, there are a lot of undead and necromancer types running around and you have to kill them. There are also special rare mobs of past bosses in dungeons from the Wrath of the Lich King expansion that you can team up on and lay waste too.

I don’t know why it’s so much more fun when you kill big bads with at least 20 buddies that you’ll likely never encounter again.

Blightcaller

The pre-patch event for World of Warcraft has officially started this week. One of the new bits of content is fighting this guy, Nathanos Blightcaller. He is a taught fight and gives a really nice weapon after you kill him.

Animation Week Research

A new set of temporary tasks were given to us on Pokemon Go, inspired by one of the TV shows. That was actually plenty of work o go through but I’m happy with how I got thought it before time was up.

That’s Not Right

Questing in this one zone, and these dwarves and diving up this site, but I don’t think they are using the right tools. In fact I believe what they need is what’s on the side of them. Might do the job better.

Success

Like the rest of this year, it has been long week just waiting to know how our election is going to end. I remember going to sleep tuesday night without the news on because I didn’t want to suddenly wake up hearing trump won again. I still remember that night 4 years ago that I was up till 5am just so full of rage over what happened. As the next day went on things started to look hopeful and as the week kept going it was looking better and better.

This morning four states were left in play and for Biden to win, he only needed one, and was leading in 3, while Trump needed all 4. Then after checking for updates later that morning I saw one of those states, Pennsylvania, had called it, that Biden is our new President. I don’t think I’ve ever given such a huge sigh of relief.
