Writing Photography Rambling
I just got a call from Abe (the owner of my building) and he said that if I don't pay more, and get caught up, I need to find a new place to live.
I've got Windows XP all settled and comfortable on the computer now, all my software installed and tested. I can now play all my PC games on the Mac (Max Payne 2 mostly) but I can also play my other games (StarCraft and Diablo 2) through Windows because they run better. I've got Luna VX running, Firefox and Thunderbird, a seperate forwarding e-mail address so both my OS's get a copy of my emails, arachnophila, photoshop and winamp. All my music and movies are on my external harddrive which is formatted in Fat32 so both the OS's can read and write to it, and the way boot camp handles the partitioning, I can read and write to the Windows partition from within OSX.
Tonight Apple released Boot Camp, software that finally let people install Windows Xp on a Mac. This is not emulation or anything, this is running the OS on a seperate partition. I successfully installed Windows XP on my iMac tonight, although when I installed the Mac drivers (for the Mac Hardware) it failed after installing the ATI drivers, so when I'm in Windows I can't access the internet, which kind of makes it less useful. I can still play the games I have that are PC only (Max Payne 2 I'm looking at you) and I can still transfer files back and forth between XP and OS X (for working on things, and giving software etc), so it will have it's uses.
Right now I'm burning a new copy of Windows XP with SP2, and I'm going to attempt a reinstallation and see if it goes any better. If not, I'll just live with what I have and use XP for Max Payne 2, and if it works, then that's awesome.
Other than that, today has been completely uneventful.
I am still a writer you know, and I've recieved quite a lot of negative feedback from people over the last few months because they claim I don't have the same level of passion and creativness in my writing, but they fail to realize that I've changed quite a bit. You see, before I would simply write paragraph after paragraph about how fucked up I was, and I don't cut myself every night so much that I fall asleep not because I'm tired but because I've lost so much blood, which results in having a lot less angst to let out in the form of online ranting. I lead a very uneventful and boring life, and I love it, but it really leaves me with no much to talk abut. I am still a very passionate person, and if you doubt that, well... you fucking kill yourself, and I'm still a good writer... I'm just a writer with nothing to write about. I've written this exact same thing not very long ago:
I've been doing a lot of downloading lately... mostly television shows. I was just thinking about some of the shows that really comfort me, and that I like to fall asleep too, or at least just relax too, so I decided to check online to see if I could find some torrents.
Michelle forgot her coffee!
The Pile News
Added a new feature: Add By URL. You can now specify an image by URL and The Pile will attempt to copy it from the source and into The Pile. It will still check the size and extension of the image before adding, and once added it is treated the same as any other image in the Pile. This function will come in useful for anyone who cannot save to the hard drive but still wishes to add an image to The Pile. Improved coding a bit and fixed a few small issues.
You should read the entry below this to hear about my day. Before that though... here:
Today was a horrible, horrible fucking day, and I'm sure about three of you actually give a shit, and the rest of you are reading this out of some sick torture to yourself. OH MY GOD MOVE ON AND LEAVE ME ALONE! I can just FEEL you staring! AH!
