@somerandomwolf I'm getting back what look like solid disk images, but can't load them for some reason. :( in reply to somerandomwolf 00:01:44, 2011-01-15
@somerandomwolf Can't remember what I lost when my first 20Mb HDD bit the dust. Except a weird game about being on the Titanic, and Frogger. in reply to somerandomwolf 00:02:33, 2011-01-15
Disk #5 a bit corrupted, couldn't dump the whole image. But seems to contain a database on people I knew? Wow, OCD. 00:21:07, 2011-01-15
@somerandomwolf I suspect the program's not designed for images of disks of 800Kb capacity. :( in reply to somerandomwolf 00:22:23, 2011-01-15
Done. Only 3 disks of the 14 could not be fully read, but still have more than half off of each. Not bad for 15yr old media. <3 #floppies 00:44:56, 2011-01-15

Emotionally shattered & in pain. Getting angry is the only way out of this. 17:20:19, 2011-01-15
Why the hell is it so hard to find good angry music that's not a ballad or as engaging as a political conference? 18:16:33, 2011-01-15
@M_Woody Don't be sexist. Loose faith in everyone, regardless of gender. in reply to M_Woody 18:55:32, 2011-01-15
Finally something that feels right. Dope – Die Mother Fucker Die 19:01:54, 2011-01-15
@M_Woody And I mean if you think "turning" gay is going to stop relationships going bad, you've got another thing coming. in reply to M_Woody 19:05:21, 2011-01-15
@M_Woody Why's it need discussing then? :P in reply to M_Woody 19:08:16, 2011-01-15

Today has resulted in a slightly clearer workshop. Next few days will result in outright cull of crap from it. Means some goodbyes. 22:26:49, 2011-01-15

@Lizardbeth Give them several options based on the idea, at different price quotes. Seems more reasonable than flat-out asking their budget. in reply to Lizardbeth 02:17:00, 2011-01-14
@furaffinity Umm, yay? But aren't there a tonne of serious back-end coding issues you've said you can't afford to hire someone to fix? in reply to furaffinity 02:20:10, 2011-01-14
@furaffinity And that template isn't good enough already? Not my project I know, but the priorities seem a bit skewed here. in reply to furaffinity 02:21:09, 2011-01-14
@renardqueenston Except Rez. Sorta. in reply to renardqueenston 02:30:38, 2011-01-14
Didn't this happen like a year ago?(YouTube http://youtu.be/ynYRjTd-0fA?a) 12:34:13, 2011-01-14
Back from shopping! Cycled there, and cycled back in the dark with full panniers. :3 Relaxing with tea & cream scones. 17:47:44, 2011-01-14
Why the hell is a third of the Inspector Gadget fan-art just Penny getting her feet tickled? That's really fucking creepy. 18:23:53, 2011-01-14

Why am I feeling so miserable tonight? Every little thing is weighing on me. 19:45:04, 2011-01-14
@TheLittlestWolf Not with the sprained ankle still healing. Already cycled & walked round shops on it and it's aching. in reply to TheLittlestWolf 19:51:23, 2011-01-14

@somerandomwolf I never finished mine. Highschool IT club wouldnt let me learn what I needed to because I was getting some other bits wrong. in reply to somerandomwolf 21:23:17, 2011-01-14
@somerandomwolf Got as far as making a 2-frame walk animation and moving character. BASIC on the Acorn Archimedes. in reply to somerandomwolf 21:24:19, 2011-01-14
@somerandomwolf I have an Acrown, all my old floppies, no compatible monitor and no way to get the contents onto another system. :( in reply to somerandomwolf 21:38:52, 2011-01-14
@somerandomwolf Dug it out. It's an A3020. Thinking.. I have an Amiga RF modulator in the scraps bin. Might be able to convert the 30Hz VGA? in reply to somerandomwolf 21:58:14, 2011-01-14
@somerandomwolf I'd just like the memories back, y'know? :) If the disks are still good, maybe nul-modem time? in reply to somerandomwolf 21:59:10, 2011-01-14
@somerandomwolf N/M, looks like I can make a SCART cable. I think. in reply to somerandomwolf 22:03:19, 2011-01-14
@somerandomwolf I'm trying a PC tool called "OmniFlop", seeing if I can read the disks direct. in reply to somerandomwolf 22:25:57, 2011-01-14
OmniFlop successfully identified the disk format and has copied off a disk image! Now, is the data still intact? *tense* #A3020 #Acorn 22:43:19, 2011-01-14
ADFS Explorer installed.. loading image.. 22:44:34, 2011-01-14
I liked a YouTube video — Dirty Inspector Gadget — DJ Slyce http://youtu.be/RnjZhjZX34c?a 22:49:14, 2011-01-14
Signs of intact data! ADFS Explorer crashes instantly, but there's readable text in the disk image files loading them into Notepad++! 23:01:59, 2011-01-14
I just found the first thing I ever programmed. I'm actually crying a bit. It's still there! 23:10:07, 2011-01-14
A tiny ASCII "game" where hitting enter basically moved you to the next frame of a ASCII-art sequence. 23:11:14, 2011-01-14
Also found two of the BASIC tests, one of which prevented me from being allowed to learn more adv. commands. Test programmed by the teacher. 23:13:35, 2011-01-14
Structured learning in a personally-driven interest. I might have learnt things correctly if I'd been allowed to use them. 23:14:57, 2011-01-14
Awww! My first ASCII text adventure! Character set's a bit messed up, but I think it's the loop-based rewrite, not the all-GOTO one. 23:16:34, 2011-01-14
Oooh, the old demo programs are on this disk too! 23:20:18, 2011-01-14
Just found a copy of the virus I accidentally let onto the school network :3 23:47:14, 2011-01-14
Not my virus, but it got on due to an infected coverdisk I bought at a car-boot sale. 23:47:46, 2011-01-14
Hmph. OmniFlop can't read the sole Amiga disk I have, but I think the track geometry is physically different. 23:57:40, 2011-01-14

After email checks, sun's already going down so progress outside workshop unlikely. However I have some cash now, so will try for food shop. 15:57:09, 2011-01-13
Hmm, tho will my ankle take a walk that long and loaded? Really need a lift. :( 15:57:53, 2011-01-13
Or I could use the bicycle. ¬_¬ 15:58:23, 2011-01-13
Bit saddened Coulton's doing another song for Portal 2. Smacks of trying to copy the 1st game at each turn, which often leads to let-down. 16:02:10, 2011-01-13
@song_in_heart Hope so. Always worried about it being nicked from outside. And haven't cycled since ankle's 2nd flare up. So, cautious. in reply to song_in_heart 16:18:42, 2011-01-13
@song_in_heart Yup but I'm also an engineer; very aware a pin in the lock, a good smack with a hammer or some good bolt-cutters & it's gone. in reply to song_in_heart 16:26:04, 2011-01-13
