I was going to say something but then realized it's 12AM and that I'm not going to be sleeping until about 3 or 4.
The sad part is I don't have a job or any form of schedule that requires me to be with this fucked up sleeping pattern.

I concur.

That sucks Urby. Is that the least worst you have?

Where's the "NOOOOOO" part? :))

Certainly is. I ignore the 7am alarm and then the wife kicks me. :(

It's painful getting up in the morning. ;(

"I'm usually up around the same time as you, Urby. Though my first alarm goes off at 6:30 and I have one more every 10 minutes until I get up at 7."

LOL! Identical to me.
Commented 12 years ago2012-05-21 11:58:57 UTC in journal: #7804 Comment #43548
Enough time for goofing off though. Get back to work!

I'm usually up around the same time as you, Urby. Though my first alarm goes off at 6:30 and I have one more every 10 minutes until I get up at 7. :P

I stay up late because being at work all day effin' sucks and I just want to play my games and watch my shows for as long as possible when I'm home!
Commented 12 years ago2012-05-21 11:43:38 UTC in journal: #7804 Comment #43555
I get up at 6AM, leave home at 7AM, travel 90 minutes on the train to work, and get home at 6:45. When I get home I do more work (freelance jobs) and then spend 60-90 minutes studying. I still usually get enough sleep but I definitely don't get enough time for playing games :(

That sucks big time man, maybe you should take a week off?
Dont have any intelligent comment, except maybe revising your schedule to assign time better.
Commented 12 years ago2012-05-21 11:27:53 UTC in journal: #7804 Comment #43550
I don't doubt there are people more worse off than me for free time, but I just remembered a few people asked why I sleep so little. Now you know. :P

The drive home can be a lot quicker depending on what music is playing. Usually dubstep or trance so it's a case of:
"I'm going home now. I'm not stopping. Either get out of the road or die! Thanks for listening, Urby"

Cool, congratulations!
Commented 12 years ago2012-05-21 10:17:14 UTC in journal: #7804 Comment #43557
dang that sucks sir, but i guess there are worse commute situations, e.g., southern california.

too bad you can't work from home for like half the week or somehthing, so as to take the edge off the commute..

Can't watch at work. Will check it out at home. Congratz though.

Congrats Archie! :)
Commented 12 years ago2012-05-21 05:57:13 UTC in journal: #7802 Comment #62384
It's probably just the fact that the loud fan was masking the noise, especially if both hard drives sounded different afterwards.

Congratulations Archie!
Commented 12 years ago2012-05-21 05:50:07 UTC in journal: #7802 Comment #62382
HDD noise is absolutely normal. And if your hard-drive is quite old, you shouldn't bother. As Stojke suggested, you should do a health scan. There's also HD Tune for that.

Did you win anything?
Commented 12 years ago2012-05-21 01:27:53 UTC in journal: #7802 Comment #62383
No I think it's normal HDD activity noise, just louder than I'm used to. Or maybe it's just that the loud fan is no longer active and masking the normal HDD noises.

Grats mister.

It was entertaining to watch.

backup now! =P

any noise from an hdd scares me. i normally don't hear mine but my 175gb is starting to make some "odd" noises recently, so i backed that shit up quicksmart.

And like Stojke said, if you start hearing any "bad" noises that probably means death is imminetnt and immediate action is required if you need any of that data.

Its normal for hard drives to make noise.

If it starts emitting bad noise, such as clicking and loud cracking in random intervals, you should get worried.

Do a health scan with Hard Drive Sentinel. Full scan.

Downloading!

Awesome map! Really big and wide, good FPS and good atmosphere, and well placed weapons and power ups.
A bit of not fit in textures, and some hard to actually control atmospheric sound glitches, but thats all in the acceptable limits.

Awesome map, 5 stars.

I think this map doesn't have weak spot. Great job.

I've never had any issues with any of the video modes for Half-Life. I guess I'm just lucky. Also 2muchvideogames, Valve has released a Steam update today fixing your issue.
Commented 12 years ago2012-05-18 13:24:31 UTC in journal: #7798 Comment #63300
Ah, well yes. WON HL has always had that issue for me too. That's why I don't do that any more. :P
Commented 12 years ago2012-05-18 03:41:02 UTC in journal: #7798 Comment #63302
Actually, I have a problem with D3D in Half Life. WON Half Life. Setting it to D3D makes the whole game lag several seconds behind my keypresses and mouse movements. Completely unplayable. I can only run it in Software (sucks) or OpenGL mode (looks the same so I don't care).

And my computer is not THAT old.
