Mixed with vodka right?

^ you definitely need a lot of Vodka to listen to it

[The Commander]

I could make a 60 minute version.
I don't have a time limit on YouTube any more, I am not sure if that is a global thing now or something only certain people can achieve.

[Hank]

I figured that much - just pulling your leg - and I could not even do a clip like that.

Perhaps.

So, I get a 2 TB HDD for Christmas.

>mfw


Eager to connect it, I dig through my collection of cables. I find a SATA data cable, but no Molex --> SATA power cable converter to connect to my old-ass Pentium 4. Reluctantly I go to Amazon.com and buy a Molex --> 2 SATA power splitter for less than two bucks.

>mfw


One week later (today) I get the thing in the mail (I also ordered a component cable for my Wii, yay 480p), take out all my disk drives, format the new one, plug in the 160 GB drive I am retiring to Sneakernet duty in my enclosure, and move all the contents.

>mfw


I shut down, plug my other 1.5 TB drive in, start up, and it doesn't show up. Not even in Disk Management. I shut down, thinking maybe if I switch which SATA ports the 1.5 TB and 2 TB disks are plugged into, I could make some progress. I unplug the cable from the 2 TB drive (which showed up) and look at it to see that a huge plastic flake just broke off the connector leaving it unable to stay in place.

>mfw


Now thoroughly pissed, I plug in my hot glue gun to warm up. In the meantime, I boot up with just the system drive (thanks TX!) and 1.5er. Both work just fine. I ghetto glue the piece on, drink a glass of apple juice to celebrate the new year, and switch the SATA ports as I planned. The BIOS shows both drives detected, as before.

>mfw


Only for the exact same bullshit to reoccur. No trace of the 1.5er with the 2er in.

>mfw


I just ordered a two pack of SATA cables from Amazon for a buck, but I have no idea what causes only the 2 TB drive to register to the operating system even when the 1.5 TB drive is plugged in too.

So, Duke Nukem Red Alert Developer, has the mod made any progress in 2013 yet? (I'm implying that your title below your avatar is a bit redundant)

Hell yes, much work has been done since then... (not, I guess I do need a new title)

But I will go back to this and look at it more in depth once we have a functioning MP.

Unlike a lot of people, I stayed home on New Years Eve. Did not party, get hammered or anything.

[Inspector Lagomorf]

Every day is a party for me. Beverage-wise, anyway.

I'm sorry but that game is way too hard. The controls are awful.

Hendricks, it sounds to me like you have some kind of design flaw with your SATA controller. Many of the older P4/Athlon motherboards with SATA support can be flaky. Nvidia nForce 3/4 boards being the worst. Many vintage SATA boards have standalone controllers that aren't even integrated into the chipset.

Your best bet is to order a $15 SATA card with a VIA chipset and run the 2TB off that.

[Master Fibbles]

I just survived a month of my family, my girlfriend's family, and driving with her in a car halfway across the US twice (and her mom once)...I think I'm doing alright with that...now, if only I could get a job....

Ahfuck. I actually have a PCI SATA board that I initially used with the 1.5TB because I didn't think my motherboard had SATA ports, then I was looking around one day and found them. I'll have to dig it out and hope it fits in a slot even with my graphic card.

Hardest part for me about getting a job is that whole social/networking aspect. Most jobs are gotten through networking, and aren't advertised. However, I'm actually volunteering at my mom's work, so you can still network that way, but you don't have to do all the social aspect stuff. Just stick it out for several months, have someone notice all your good work, and I might end up with a job somewhere.

Through this place, I've learned about a government program that's being set up this year which is going to help people like me find a job.

Some people have actually volunteered themselves into getting a job. Lot easier than firing off hundreds of resumes and such. I find that is kind of like playing the lottery. Thing is when you apply to those online jobs on job boards, there's almost a hundred people wanting the same job you are. Employer only needs to hire one person.

I love this song. My mother and I listened to Brother Iz a lot when she was sick.

[CruX]

Have I mentioned that I'm supposed to be starting Texas A&M this semester? Because I totally am. And it's totally fucking terrifying.

[Master Fibbles]

Say "Hi" to Johnny Football for me.

Spoiler

and go Irish!

[Inspector Lagomorf]

Shame that Johnny Football is losing his offensive line next year. I went out of my way to watch a few A&M football games this year. He's a very talented QB.

So people thought Prey and Portal were disorientating?

That's coon 'n' all, but I think these ones are better;

If I saw one of those...

I'm trying to find where I can buy a TiVo in australia but it's like they don't sell them anymore... very frustrating.

I'm going to be on CBC radio on Friday morning. I've never been on the radio before. They're doing some segment on people with autism and the difficulties of finding a job. Apparently, a huge number of people with autism are either unemployed or underemployed. They're trying to raise awareness for employers about this condition. So they talked to me, my mom, and someone she works with about it last week (her son also has this). I think they said that I could download the radio session on ITunes or something when it comes out.

At first I thought it was going to be a TV thing (least when my mom called me). I was so nervous about being on live TV across Canada. Luckily it was on the radio, so it's all pre-recorded and edited. Thank God.
