The Steel Shark: Photos, Designs, and Other Strange Stuff Blog
One of my recovered photo. I’ve gotten pretty far with my sorting but still thousands more to go. I can see there are plenty lost, and as of now I don’t know the extent but from the looks of it so far most of my work is recovered. I won’t know for sure what is gone till everything is placed in their proper folders and the files are renamed. I’m dreading finding out. But at least this is one of the few good thing to happen for me this year.
While looking thought my old photos as I’m still sorting them into their proper folders I came across this. It’s from a now defunct bank that started to fall all part about a month before I took this photo. In a way the name shown as is would be accurate I guess. I remember seeing ads for them like mad for a long time and branches everywhere then it was just gone.
Pretty much, I’ve found myself hardly playing pokemon go much in a while, for about two months really only doing much of the bare minimum of what I need to do for the day. But I like when sets of special tacks pop up because it gives me some interest again. Sometimes I get it done pretty fast others can take my time but at least it helps keep my mind off of things.
I did say sorting my photos again after my drive was recovered will take a few days. I have no idea how far I am but I believe there are tens of thousands more to go, at least. While going through them I found some good old stuff I completely forgot about. Like with this guy, I believe he is known as, Coop. And he kind of looks like the guitarist from the band, Incubus.
I believe the worst part I’m looking forward to is renaming files because the unsorted ones have names like “Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT 2006-01-30 12-52-54 00752360816.” The fact there are dates and times does help out a lot.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
