Batman:Arkham Asylum
Batman:Arkham Asylum is quite probably the best game to come out this year. I'd write more, but I'm off to work.
Fixed again
And all the posts are back. This time with their original posting times! Go me!
So I read on the internet that Vick's VapoRub can cure toenail fungus. I'm putting it to the test. And my feet are burning.
Whoops.
Well, I suck. I deleted a chunk of my website again. This time, I have backups, but I'll restore things some other time, as I'm off to buy a bus pass and go to work.
Some day...
Eventually I'll get in the habit of updating this on a fairly regular basis, but that time is not now.
One of my hard drives died, quite possibly permanently, but I already had replacements ready to go, so that's a good thing. It turns out a Dell Dimension 9200 will not support RAID 5 with its built-in RAID controller, so I've set up RAID 0, and then have an extra terrabyte for Video/Music/whatever.
I've also switched over to Windows 7 Professional Retail, had some fun with it not liking my key (had to install WinXP first), but aside from that, it went well.
I also finally managed to share a printer from Win7 64 with Vista 32. The fix is so hopelessly hack-y. Basically:
- Delete the printer, or any sign of it from the Win Vista machine
- Add a printer manually, to LPT1
- Add a 'new port' (local) and then enter the "\\ComputerName\PrinterName"
Your guess is as good as mine as to how, precisely, that's different than going through the add printer wizard, and yet, somehow, magically, it is.
Hallowe'en came and went. Patricia and I ran away for the evening and saw Couples Retreat. Aside from a completely retarded ending, it was pretty good.
