Sorry to hear your mom's the hospital, Duke. Wishing her a speedy recovery.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Best of luck Duke. My thoughts are with you man.

 

[flickchick85]

Saw the 1st two Lone Wolf and Cub movies for the first time. Good ****!

And now back to my regularly scheduled Hitchcock viewing.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I didn't go to work today because my mom is in the hospital.

I pray she comes out of it strong.
Sorry for not being on the Hype earlier, life kept me busy.

We're Has-Bros, buddy, it's what we do for each other.

Oh, I get it.

 

[FrozenBanana00]

Sorry about your mom Duke, hope she gets better soon!

 

[Vartha]

yeah back up things you can't replace. Like digital photos. I normally get a 32 gig flashdrive every now and then for that, but, I store tv shows and digital movies on an external drive

After my computer made one last implosion and steadfastly refused to reboot I had no choice but to go and install all the new hardware and hope I did it right.

So far it looks like I have. I've spent literally the entire day working on it then fixing the glitches, then installing the software and I'm still not done. 1 gig+ of updates downloaded/installing just for Windows and I haven't even gotten to most of the other software yet.

It looks like my old main drive fried or was in some way damaged, I tried to get it to show up on my rebuilt system but it caused it to hang up so now I have to try accessing it from an external connection which I currently don't have a cable for.

Fortunately 80% or so of everything else was on other drives which appear to have come through unscathed but I am taking no chances this time. Going to get another backup drive just to be safe.

 

[Vartha]

Ladies and gentlemen, prepare for BvS spoilers around March 6.

you can spoil me now if you know what it is Libi

 

[Duke]

Sorry, missed that your mom was in the hospital. Certainly a bigger crisis than my own. Hope she is going to be okay.

Praying for fast recovery of your mom.

I'm 5 podcasts in, but this Welcome to Night Vale series is pretty interesting.

 

[Tanin]

Welcome to Nightvale is really fun

How many jobs let you blast NOFX while you work? They have absolutely filthy lyrics haha. I love my job.

I have a lot of internal drives and one external that holds 1 terabyte (really only 931 gigabytes) so I have that covered... mostly. I need another that holds at least as much if not more to keep my bases covered.

Fortunately these days such things are much cheaper than they used to be. I remember when harddrives held 3 gigs and that was "a lot."

But definitely, yes. No matter how confident or sure you are, always back up important files. I lost a few television shows and movies. Nothing irreplaceable or particularly hard to recover, although that is a major pain in the ass to redownload all of that. At least most of my relied-upon programs I already kept back ups of in another drive.

Man, backing up is important as hell. I lost 250 GB of DJ tunes when my last drive crashed. Now I'm paranoid as f*** so I have a 3 TB external, 1 TB external, 1 TB on my laptop, a 128 GB thumb drive, and I have a few homies I trust that I back up my ish on their stuff periodically as well. Never again will I lose tunes.

 

[squeekness]

I have all my music backed up on a raved serial drive. I would cry if I ever lost my library. It's huge!

What is your definition of a huge library Squeeks? My personal music discography collection is about 400 GB and then my DJ tunes I use is over 400 GB. So I'm almost pushing 1 TB in terms of my musical library.

 

[C. Lee]

I have all my music backed up on these little discs....it's neat, they take up a lot less room than my old LPs, and the sound is clearer too....no crackles and hisses.....what'll they think of next?

Yeah, those 8-inch floppy disks are the next big thing.

 

[C. Lee]

Yeah, those 8-inch floppy disks are the next big thing.

I guess they are floppy so they don't break so easy....damn I live in a fantastic time.

Probably not 400 GB but I'd say 40-50 GB at least and growing all the time. That new HBO show Vinyl has me buying new sounds all the time now.

A lot of people aren't aware of this but if you're an Amazon Prime member you can actually download all of the free music available with Prime. Same thing with their movies too. Prime kicks ass!

Waiting for something...
