new harddrive.

i tend to get overly paranoid with my things. especially if its an electronic device with a lot of important data on it. I've gone through so many harddrives because I've declared them dying (maybe before they actually were) and i also have a bin with like 20 old hdd in it. no jokes my last drive actually WAS dying.

that is making clicky death noises randomly (but not quite dead...yet) and also taking forever and 90 years to open a file folder. (srsly my internet was faster than opening my documents)

SO I GOT A NEW DRIVE. now i have 935gb of space. the only bad thing is having to reinstall EVERY SINGLE THING. it feels like i should at least have more new components in my computer after that, BUT NOPE ITS THE SAME OLD SLOW CRAP that won't even play alan wake :'c :'c :'c

i named my "NEW SYSTEM" stahlarms though because i am clearly not all creeping on stahl/killzone 3 atm. nope not at all.

i need to name the harddrive now too. it needs to be cool. but i will probably just call it Flea-Tortilla something. don't ask OH TOO LATE

AND NOW I GET TO SPEND ALL OF FOREVER INSTALLING PROGRAMS :'C

actually i had a lot more programs in my start menu in my old setup. but i dont even remember what i had installed. i feel like it should be important because i use the start menu instead of desktop shortcuts desktop icons are ugly AND I JUST I DONT KNOW. im sure i'll remember. eventually.

this post is pointless but i'm waiting for junk to transfer/install and i feel like i can't do much of anything else!!!!!!!!!!!

You should name the HDD "Commodore" because yes. The HDD name has to match the computer name ok. This is why my computer is named GLaDOS and (nearly) everything that connects to it has a Portal-related name.

Also your start menu is pretty similar to mine lmao. Except with a little more because I'm usually too lazy to pin everything. I'm glad to know I'm not the only person with a vendetta against desktop shortcuts though LOL. The only things I let have shortcuts on my desktop are my Steam games :I

BUT IF I DO I'LL BE BREAKING MY TRADITION OF NAMING EVERY HARDDRIVE SINCE...forever "Flea-Tortilla ___" i can't cope with change. it feels funny giving my computer a new name and everything EVEN THOUGH IT'S STILL TECHNICALLY THE SAME. LOL. my last one was called wasteland, which was a Fallout reference.. PROBS MEAN I GOT IT UP IN 2009... but that would have been a HDD specific name too, bcuz my actual system is still older than that. i think it was rainbowcabbage before that OR SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THAT. LMAO. this same motherboard has had 3 different names now...nbd.

my old start menu took up my entire screen. LOL. this one is literally half the size of my old one. ITS BUGGING ME BECUASE IM LIKE "HOW AM I MISSING THIS MANY THINGS ;___;"

i have NO SHORTCUTS except my poop/dump folder...things i am too lazy to save where they belong or temporary files (since i delete/sort them later on lol) and recycle bin. BUT YEAH. i like looking at my wallpaper usually when im on my desktop. SO I DONT WANT CRAP ALL OVER IT. >:c

BUT IT'S THE MOST APPROPRIATE HDD NAME :'C :'C :'C look even Sev thinks so. YOU DON'T WANT TO MAKE SEV SAD, DO YOU? I totally understand finding that strange though lol. Any time I've had to wipe a computer I always give it the same name because it's just weird otherwise...

JFC LOL. Though to be fair, mine would probably be bigger if Windows 7 didn't have a search bar right at the bottom of the start menu. So whenever I need a program, I just pull it up and search for it and smash the enter key until it opens lmao. WINDOWS 7 FEEDS MY LAZINESS.

This is how I feel too. I have a wallpaper for a reason. I want to look at it, not at millions of desktop icons. Whenever I see a screenshot of someone's desktop that is filled with icons, it just makes me want to cry :'c

LMFAO. i wonder if i can fit flea-tortilla commodore. commodore flea-tortilla sdlkajdjlasdjks

I JUST FEEL LIKE IT SHOULD BE MORE TO WARRANT A NAME CHANGE LMAO. but then i realized i really wanted it to be called stahlarms SO YOU KNOW WHAT I JUST DID IT. also i really want to play alan wake. ;______________; someday!!!!!!!!!!! /flips table

W/E JERK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! some of us don't have the luxury of new OS!!!!!!!!!! plus i have like 100 million windows xp home keys i got for free from people giving me their old broken computers that had windows keys on them. LMFAO. /the best person/ SO I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS. i'd have to PAY MONEY for windows 7 if i wanted it ok. my dad and my brother both got windows 7 but im like NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEE im always the last one to change OS too. i resisted windows xp until a piece of hardware i got was no longer compatible with windows 98 (YES WINDOWS 98) .......actually windows 98 and windows xp are the only two OS i've ever used on my desktop. :'D

LMFAO ME TOO. IM ALWAYS LIKE BUT LOOK HOW CLUTTERED IT IS Ajhashkhsdhsdj.

even when im too lazy to sort my junk files i will at least move them so they're not blocking faces of my wallpaper. LOL.

But you have the most badass computer now because StahlArms. and YES SOMEDAY YOU WILL PLAY ALAN WAKE, OK :'C

LOL you would want to upgrade your hardware before even thinking about switching to Win7 anyway. It's all shiny and shit. At least whenever you finally do upgrade from XP you'll be skipping Vista... :D I also like how you went from 98 to XP and casually skipped the shit that was ME. JUST SKIP ALL THE SHIT OS RELEASES NBD.

EXACTLY. how does someone find anything when their desktop is so cluttered :'c and how do they see their wallpaper :'c :'c :'c

[identity profile] antoj.livejournal.com 2012-06-19 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
i keep hoping someone in my family will want to upgrade their OLD JUNKERRRRRRRRR and give me all the pieces. im sure anyone's old crap can run alan wake ok. and i want free computer hunks.

LMAO ITS FUNNY HOW THAT WORKED OUT, ISN'T IT?! I actually did notice this too. And yeah, I hear Windows 7 is useless sparkle (AND WELL, I HAVE IT ON MY NETBOOK, WHICH SHOULDN'T HAVE WINDOWS 7, IT SHOULD BE XP OK. its not made for windows7)

ugh i didnt even think about finding something. >:C people need to do it right or not do it at all ok. obviously i am god of computer desktops everywhere.

[identity profile] thekayla.livejournal.com 2012-06-19 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Y THEY NO UPGRADE... they really do need to do it so you can salvage parts :'c

BUT IT'S PRETTY USELESS SPARKLE. You can turn the sparkle off (like I have on my laptop because dying graphics card lololol) but it's not nearly as cool. Win7 really is not made for netbooks though I don't even understand what people are smoking to want to put it on there.

My ex was someone who put EVERYTHING EVER ON THE DESKTOP and it annoyed the fuck out of me. He never could find anything either ftr. You are god of computer desktops though. You understand how they're supposed to work... :D

[identity profile] antoj.livejournal.com 2012-06-19 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
one time i looked up the specs to windows 7 and my netbook is barely skirting that line. and im just like "why would someone do this to you, you poor netbook" i mean it can barely play youtube videos because windows 7 is pooping all over it. if it had a cd drive i would totally try to install windows xp over the top of windows 7 bcuz it would probably run a lot better. LOL.

LMAO O GOD THAT WOULD BUG ME SO MUCH TOO. yea i get bothered wheni m lazy and using my desktop as a dumpign ground and it has more than 3 files on it ok. its like UNACCEPTABLE.

[identity profile] thekayla.livejournal.com 2012-06-19 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Putting an OS on a system that JUST BARELY meets the minimum requirements is such a bad idea. That poor netbook. Every netbook, really. Poor all of them. As for the no CD drive, though... couldn't you make an ISO of your XP disc, install a virtual drive on your netbook and mount the ISO, and then set it to boot from the virtual drive? voila, XP installation, right?

My laptop desktop has four files on it. mmhm is it bothering you yet? :D

[identity profile] antoj.livejournal.com 2012-06-19 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
IT IS THE WORST IDEA. i kept wondering that too. poor netbook doesn't deserve that ok. esp cuz its crap windows7 where you cant even change the desktop without cheating. :|

.......yes..........so are those widgets on the right hand side. tell them this isn't mac os.

[identity profile] thekayla.livejournal.com 2012-06-19 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
The netbook version of Win7 is the worst thing ever. No netbooks deserve that fate.

Yes, I thought you'd like the widgets too :) :) :) those aren't on by default in Win7 though. They were in Vista iirc which is why they're still on my laptop (since I upgraded it from Vista to Win7) but not on my desktop PC at all. I'd turn it off but I'm lazy and I like having the weather right there anyway :D

My desktop PC would annoy you even more though... I think it has SIX icons because games :D

[identity profile] antoj.livejournal.com 2012-06-20 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
that version shouldn't even exist. i still dont get the taking out changing the desktop background thing. I JUST DONT.

BUT THEYRE UGRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

why you clutter ur desktop. u cluttererererer. >:c stahl is judgin you

[identity profile] thekayla.livejournal.com 2012-06-20 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
I agree, it really shouldn't. The desktop background thing still baffles me.

Now I'm going to keep the widgets there forever because they bother you :D :D :D

MM MM LOOK AT ALL THIS CLUTTER

[identity profile] antoj.livejournal.com 2012-06-20 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
it seems like more effort to code it out. its like MS just went out of their way to be dicks. esp bcuz its on every netbook. LOL.

jerk..... >:c

jensen is totes judgin ur desktoop clutter. and so is my icon jensen. DO NOT APPROVE.

[identity profile] thekayla.livejournal.com 2012-06-20 02:42 am (UTC)(link)

Yep that's me :D
