• Install's not happy anyway, so will need to reinstall. Best to figure what graphics card drivers won't bork it. 00:00:21, 2011-05-12
• @firefiber I don't know the location, but beginning to think it's a vid driver issue. Recently updated to nVidia 270.61. Checking versions. in reply to firefiber 00:03:10, 2011-05-12
• I liked a @YouTube video http://youtu.be/Kq5KWLqUewc?a Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Cinematic Trailer 00:08:52, 2011-05-12
• 266.58 refuses to install. Trying 260.99. 00:24:31, 2011-05-12
• 260.99 installed. Watching some videos now to see if it holds. 00:36:44, 2011-05-12
• @renardqueenston Is that Sunday or Monday? Timezones, y'know… 00:48:14, 2011-05-12
• 260.99 seems to be holding steady with much tab-switching while videos running. 00:49:11, 2011-05-12
• Oh, and the repaired monitor has been running on another machine's desktop for nearly an hour with no power glitching. 00:52:02, 2011-05-12
• @firefiber Fragmentation wasn't helping, but yeah looks like an issue with nVidia 270.61 driver on my 8600 GT & XP. Now using v260.99. You? in reply to firefiber 00:58:19, 2011-05-12
• @renardqueenston Oh that's fine. Was worried it'd be a weekday. Other plans. in reply to renardqueenston 01:00:06, 2011-05-12
• New blog post: Accomplished day http://www.sci-fi-fox.com/?p=987 01:27:44, 2011-05-12
• Yup, Youtube running fine with backdated video drivers. 01:54:20, 2011-05-12
• @tajasel It looks good on you, but wow what a different look :) in reply to tajasel 02:00:55, 2011-05-12
• @ChaseLioness I'd say the same but my Bio teacher was a lady & her shaving status would be in places I never got to see. Also been 15yrs. :P in reply to ChaseLioness 13:54:28, 2011-05-12
• My chest feels tight again. I'm not stressed. Maybe I inhaled something in the workshop? Time for a walk. 13:55:36, 2011-05-12
• Wow, someone paying their electric bill via PayPal. o_o; 14:34:19, 2011-05-12
• I like spring. I can wander around my room naked as the trees block the view to my window from all the surrounding houses. 15:09:52, 2011-05-12
• I figured there'd only be a few dozen colours on this, but no, it's a PNG. Appropriately there's 666 used. 17:30:34, 2011-05-12
• I suspect scandisk results from this new HDD may not be favourable. As I open the packet a chipped-off chunk of the housing fell out. 21:03:05, 2011-05-12
• Hitachi using "metric" gigabytes too. "1Tb" actually 931.51Gb not 1000Gb. 21:15:38, 2011-05-12
• Anyway it's formatting. Should be done in a couple of hours. 21:16:22, 2011-05-12
• Had some discounted Turkey Kofti Kebabs for dinner and boiled up some lamb bones in the pressure cooker. Tomorrow I'll make stew with them. 22:34:27, 2011-05-12
• I haven't touched Hammer in a long time, and even then only messed about with it(@YouTube http://youtu.be/bbdntMlbnVg?a) 22:40:02, 2011-05-12
• @firefiber Well it seems to have stopped happening for me now with the driver downgrade, so certainly seems driver-related. in reply to firefiber 22:46:33, 2011-05-12
• Holy.. Michael Straczynski developed Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors! This explains so much! 22:53:02, 2011-05-12
• New drive's started making a lot of activity noise at the 98% formatted mark. Fearing a bunch of dead sectors right at the end.. 23:47:14, 2011-05-12
• And now it's quiet again. Spooky. o_o 23:48:06, 2011-05-12
• That new HDD smell. SMART reports only 3 start/stop events. Power-on of 2hours. Temperature.. err.. 1638445 centigrade. o_O 23:54:24, 2011-05-12
• Surface error scan running now. 23:55:16, 2011-05-12
