Why is it, that when I finish my exams, the games I was playing don’t seem to interest me?

Wohoo. Got through those. Time to catch up on sleep I think. Moving home at the weekend, and do you know what, I’m actually looking forward to it. Proper internet access, less likely to be fucked over, and the place doesn’t stink. The compnay renting this place are trying to screw everyone over, but i have an ace up my sleeve ;) (more…)

Removing Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications Nag Screen

Saturday, May 20th, 2006

If you don’t know want it is, you won’t care.
Basically it’s
WGA notify
WGA notify
Anyway, A foolproof easy method to get rid of it is: Use the tool Autoruns from Sysinternals It’s free so it’s cool. Stop WGA from launching itself at startup by unchecking it under winlogon
Autoruns
Quit the program, and Fanny’s your aunt.
Then use Autopatcher to update your system.
And install linux

Sunday!

Sunday, May 14th, 2006

Great day. No. Went to install gentoo again today, but the quick way, using the gui installer. It decided to be funny and delete my mbr of the drive i was installing to. The drive with about 120gb of games and photos and stuff on it. Booted back to parition magic, drive showed up as blank. Bit of quick googling to be done. Gpart to the rescue, Scans the disk, and see what should be in the mbr. So under gentoo live cd, sudo gpart -W /dev/sda /dev/sda. A few “y”’s later, and the mbr is back. Went back to partition magic. Partitions where there, but not accessible. PM copped something was wrong and fixed it, and yey! all my data was back. Long and short of it, when using the GTK+ installer, don’t let it do any partitioning,it has known issues I subsequently found out. Got all that done then, but grub wasn’t playing ball. It didn’t like that fact I had changed the HD order. A bit of messing around with the ultimate boot cd, and i was back in business.

That was the morning. A few hours ago there was a few joyriders outside. The managed to destroy the car, so I had no problem ringing the Gardaí.Have to say they arrived in under a minute. Little bastards got away though. I really need to move from this area…

Almost, well it is Friday

Staying up too late lately. Re cabled my computer yesterday, better air flow now hopefully. Also, still re ripping all the CD’s around here into .flac. Yeah, fun ….. indeed.

Tuesday, nice day

Tuesday, May 9th, 2006

It’s tuesday. Assingments finshed. All I have left to do is study, and think about what i would like to do for the summer.

Need to get one of my bikes at home fixed up, and Chain reaction cycles just sent me a £10 voucher. Handy.

Who the hell decided to have exams in the summer. It’s so nice outside today, and I’m stuck inside. Have to study

Anyway, going to rip all my cd’s into .flac format tonight, but before that i have to move a few files around.
