A small miracle may have occurred.

Is your computer back up and running?

I've been having these weird thoughts lately.... Like, is any of this for real... or not?



Amazing how this community is still here even though the anime has ended.

Well, I did technically start it after the show ended...

Well the movie wasn't out on Blu Ray at that point yet at least...

I AM (mostly) REVIVED

The wizards at the Microsoft store were actually able to successfully transfer nearly all of my personal data to a new (larger, actually -- 1 TB vs. 750 GB) hard drive and install it in place of the old one, and I have most of what was lost in the transfer backed up elsewhere (I think), so while I lost most programs and personal settings (and a few other things I'm working on getting back up and running), none of it was critical, and I'm otherwise pretty much back where I started, but with a brand new hard drive hopefully with no errors this time, and it only cost about $100.

"Lucky" cheers for you!!
and be careful with this new HDD, these miracles doesn't happen 2 times

 

[Articalys]

I don't really know what there is to being careful with a hard drive besides properly shutting down the computer every night and not dropping the laptop, but I'll do my best.

 

[GuessMyUserName]

I wonder what the lovely people at Microsoft were thinking as they were going through those files of yours...

make 2 or 3 backups with all your stuff at least monthly.

that's how i do. i spent extra in hard drives but having the feel that the data is in multiple places outweights the expense.

 

[RurouniZel]

I've had Tomoyo mouse pad for soooo long... her boobs have gotten pretty dirty.

I saw lots of Mios at Anime North! Definitely should've bought one, I always want to buy stuff after I leave =_=

I should start going to cons again. I haven't gone in a long time.

Might be a good way to show people my art too.

Something like that....

Don't finish like Ui

 

[cajunator]

In a way that's more like the front! Or row 2 at least!


Although there's another Mio visible there, at the veeeery very right, in front of Sophie... the little start platform is my favourite Mio that I got at AN a while back! Favourite figure.

I know which Mio it is

Yeah, this is what I usually do, at least with the more important things. Random images I find on the internet I'm less worried about.

I've been doing this since University due to the nature of my work, If I lost my files that would be many hours I would have to commit to again.

Ouch. It only happened to me once and that was a silly mistake, I saved my work to a CD

Spoiler

All work had to be submited on CD as well as printed

and for some reason deleted the original copy, then moving on to lose the CD

Losing thumb drives is not fun.

Damn, is that what happened to you? Specially nowadays when we put so much on them..

 

[StayDead]

Parcelforce are a bunch of rip off merchants. They caught my Kimono Miku nendo and Idolmaster petits in customs because goodsmiles only shipping method is EMS (I always avoid this).

£10 for a customs charge of VAT which I think is fine, I know I have to pay that sometimes but £13.50 to Parcelforce themselves as a handelling charge and they don't even deliver Saturday so I need to wait until Monday to get them. X_X

This is why I order by SAL registered, but it seems you had no choice.

Also £13.50 is pretty low, I always get charged in the £20 =O

//edit// just realised they are nendos and petits, so maybe it's because of the size I get charged more >_>

I hope you get it soon and post pictures!!!

started watching the neptune anime today. After playing Neptune PP for like a week and a bit now I never realise that Noire was voice by Asami Imai. My love for her character has trippled !

Oh, I never noticed that. Did you enjoy the first episode? I found it pretty funny.

 

[StayDead]

I enjoyed it a lot, although I knew I would as anything which is filled to the brim with cuteness is something I can enjoy

Man yall are lucky. Had to back my stuff up on floppydisk, zip drive, and cd's.
Wish I had thumb drives in school!

There was so much cuteness

And to keep it relevant...

 

[StayDead]

Playing the game again today and I noticed it was her voice right away, I feel like a total idiot haha <3

Put my preorder down for this:

yesterday. I feel like it's quite expensive and I have no idea why I'm buying it, but gotta get that nice long drama cd and the re-released drama cds of the main story, never owned those <3

also to keep it relevant

Nice, can you understand Japanese then? I can sort of read it

Spoiler

I need a dictionary by my side

but I have real tough time listening. I tried watching a few episodes of my favourite shows with subs off and I can understand parts but...

Also great video!

Oooh, I've got to think about this. Doesn't appear that there will be English subs on this release that I can tell, but it is Steins;Gate swag. So I might get it just because.

Awesome! Great to hear it worked out and it didn't cost an arm and a leg.

I've been doing this since University due to the nature of my work, If I lost my files that would be many hours I would have to commit to again.

That reminds me of a time during my freshman year in College (1999-2000) when I was working on a rather long, tedious and time consuming essay for the better part of the day. I was so relieved I had it completed that in my state of euphoria I closed Word without saving the essay pretty much at all (there was no autosave running). Lost a ton of work over my own stupidity. Suffice to say I've been rather paranoid about stuff like that ever since.
