Blue Snowball is decent enough for the stuff I do (some of which is due to appear on TV) although it has some limitations in terms of OS settings.

I don't know about performance benefits or anything like that, but I intend to completely avoid Windows 8 because I hate the chunky touch UI. Keep that ugly shit on phones and tablets. I have a mouse.

Sure you can switch to the standard desktop but... you know. I don't need to do that on Windows 7.

Also, in terms of user friendliness, the first review I saw called it the first user-hostile OS. Yeah, fuck Windows Hate.

Not sure of the full details since I just followed the advise I found online, but it basically came down to removing the line LanmanWorkstation and adding LanmanServer. It's way beyond my understanding but it worked so I'm happy.

The reason I got irritated is because this issue seems to date back to much older versions of Windows and it's still causing problems. MS need to sort their shit.

How much money do MS need? Perhaps if they charged the price of a game (a game game, not an EA game) people wouldn't pirate that shit so often.

@Tetsu0: I managed to fix it by editing the registry. Already running with an SSD too. :D

@StojkeK I never said I paid for it. I just think it's ridiculous that they charge so much. My copy of Win7 Pro came pre-installed on my gaming rig. :)

Anywho, fixed it. The LanmanServer service wasn't starting properly and was holding all the other services up behind it. RedEdited that mother fucker.

I backup anything I work on via SVN now. Assembla offer free hosting for files up to 500mb, then they charge through the nose. Otherwise, if you don't mind paying for it, use repositoryhosting.com. I pay £3.50 a month for 2gb with them.

I think he's talking NPC armies with a player commander. Sounds kind of like a large scale version of the Battlezone games.

I used to love Battlezone 1 on the PC.

Of course then it wasn't really large scale, but todays technology could easily handle it.

I have a debit card and I have an overdraft of £400. If I exceed that I get charged £75. That always made me laugh.

"You've spent money you don't have! As a punishment, we're going to charge you more money."

That sucks though Rim. :(

Fish that mofo ate, octopus tentacles, was nice, yet everyone lost their appetite. They contemplated removing their eyes and whispered "Hallelujah". However, Death often

The office is chilly
I'm sat in my coat
I'm thinking of warm sands,
blue seas and a boat

I'll make do with coffee
my mug is bright orange
It helps me to feel
...ah bollocks

Why thank you JeffMOD
for this holiday rhyme
I'd write one myself
but I don't have the time.

May your days ahead be
filled with Christmas cheer
and let's not forget
The Core's out next year.

;)

I'd say being in the office is pointless, considering it's an hour trip each way.

Anyway, I've found something to work on now so the time is moving a little quicker. :)

16:40 - Sooo fucking bored. 20 minutes to go and each one feels like an hour...

Heh, I don't constantly harp on about The Core. :P

Unfortunately, it's considered a working day and you have to book it off if you don't want to come in. However, It seems equally pointless to waste my holiday allowance on 3 dreary quiet days in December when I could use them later in the year during Britain's week of sunshine.

Also, check out The Core.

Yup. Tis me. Changed my name from Urbanebula because nobody could spell or pronounce it and referred to me as Urby all the time. So, I am now Urby.

In light of that, I think you should change your name to "Oh God, not that guy" :P

Welcome back! :D
