My laptop has none.

It runs 3D games spectacularly, yet it takes freaking decades to load anything. Why? My hard drive speed's not changed, nor has my external; the spec's obviously good enough to run the games so why it struggles to load stuff I don't understand. At any rate, went for a Sony Vaio FW41E - pretty impressive for the price I paid (£779, was £70 off too), will be getting some new games to test it out soon-ish. I'm quite content with Audiosurf now though - it's so pretty on premium ;w;

I think it also came with more software preinstalled than I ever had on my old one. Sony Vaio this, Sony Vaio that...I'll never use any of them except for Me&MyVAIO because it's got a pretty interface despite being utterly useless. Anyway, there is a point to this rant; it came with Adobe Photoshop Elements; and I believe it's the full version (o.O). As a beginning amateur photographer, wonder if anyone's ever heard of it and would recommend me trying it/point me in the direction of any tutorials? I don't even know what it's for, really. But if it's a nice way to edit some photos then I figure I may as well use it :p

I've also lost Flash after the meltdown :< so no new programming any time soon. Hopefully I'll get a key from somewhere but I'm not keen on pirating it really, and it's ~£280 for CS4 with a student discount, and I've never used it (used to use CS3) so not really sure if I want to splash out.

Uni in two weeks exactly! (It's got close enough that I don't need no stinkin' countdown - suck on that old laptop!) I'm excited but also kind of...not. Everyone else has started already ¬_¬ Pretty much got everything I'll ever not need, having returned the expensive toaster and bought an even more expensive one but at least that one doesn't burn everything and/or smell of a physics lab even on the fifth use. I could've made do but noooo, must return it. Yeah, I can't wait to go to uni. ^^;

I'll leave you now with a neat artist I picked up off of Audiosurf Radio, Alexandr Filippov. I don't know why, but I'm in love with his music. And it's free! ^^

Also re: mood; more emotes need top hats.

  • Listening to: Alexandr Filippov - Friday

Thanks so much for the favorite and watch!

heya Dan!

Well, I still check my mail on Whirled every day, but you're right - I haven't logged on in quite a while.
I've been quite busy with getting a room in the city I'm going to live in.. and I'm also sortof dating a girl again ^^

I also have to do all kinds of stuff around the house now because we're selling the house, and my parents are also going on vacation so I have to do pretty much everything that needs to be done by then xD

And of course.. sunlight! I've been waiting for it all winter and spring :)
I might be online again once my parents are gone and I've settled in my new room though. I really owe it to Roy too, because I still have to show him what I've done with Elemental Gathering.

Is anything up in your life? ^^

Haha, nothing compared to you :P going to visit my dad for two weeks just after my birthday, but he only lives like eight hours away so it's hardly a holiday :P just waiting for exam results really, to figure out if I got into the uni I want. Congrats on the girlfriend too ;) Sunlight's not really my thing, I'm staying inside mostly xD

But at least branding's started on Whirled now, I guess you heard :D Bic and I have made a couple of things real quick. Hoping that'll make it interesting again ^^ I've spoken to roy quite a lot recently, he was keen to see the EG stuff too :) I saw the gameplay sample in his gallery and it looks awesome! Can't wait to see how it turns out :)

Glad to hear you're well (hope the sleep patterns are getting better!) and maybe see you soon? :D
