Windows ME and a search engine hit

Thursday, 27 February, 2003 at 10:41 pm

I don’t like Windows ME. It made me kick the compi! Well, I never really liked this compi anyway. I guess I liked it when it was new. But now it’s all old. Hm. I wonder how old it is. I suppose this summer it’ll be three years old. Well anyway.

I was 1: talking to Adam; 2: reading blogs; and 3: browsing Launch Yahoo! thingimabobber. Oh yes. I was looking through the music videos, and went back one page, then it caused some error in some thing, so it closed. Then the music video window caused an error, so that closed, and I gave up and read blogs again.

But there was still a window thingie in the taskbar (if that makes any sense …) but it was blank; the window was just called “Music Videos.” So I clicked on it, and then the IE window with the blog caused an error in something, and then AIM caused an error in KRNL382.EXE (something like that …). ARGH.

Everything was still on the screen, too; the desktop wasn’t showing. I started clicking on windows and nothing happened so I went to restart and it did that Program running thingie, so I said End Task. Waited, nothing. Did that oh maybe three more times.

I started kicking the Start button on the computer because I decided music videos weren’t worth the trouble and that I’d go on my laptop. Nothing. So then I kicked the restart button and waited for the scandisk to finish, and Adam had signed off. ;_; So mean. Windows, I mean, not him.

Hm. One upside to all the problems (or I should just say problem, as far as I can tell all the problems are with the video card thing) on my laptop is that there’s no scanning of the disk when I forcefully shut the thing down. >D ^^;;;

Also. I seem to have gotten a referral from Google for “time pass on net.” Hm. O_o Wha? *ponders about the day when she gets a search engine hit for “wasting time on net”* XP;; Well anyway. I went to the results page for the search. It seems I’m listed second. o.O Right. But something more odd. Under the title, where they put the text that was hit with that search, it says

“… e-mail: @flimsysilence-dot-net @hotmail.com @planet-save.com >-save … faked sick for a long period of time (longer than … get a FREE copy of the BACKSTAGE PASS CD-ROM …”

O.O!!! Whaaaa?! Faked sick? Me?! XP Hah. But then, what are CAPS doing in any sort of relation to one of my sites??? Especially the word “free” and the words “backstage pass” in caps!! O_O;;

*later* Ah, I found out the answer. o.o; *pats Greymatter search function* *huggles it* ^-^’ (note: Livejournal doesn’t have a search function. ¬_¬ or at least not as far as I can tell) CAPS: something about a music show on tv? and faked sick (referring to Hidek :b it wasn’t me!)

My Favorite Game music video

Sunday, 23 February, 2003 at 2:20 am

O_O I finally saw the “My Favorite Game” music video. The original, uncut one.

…

Really. O.O It was freaky. Well not as freaky as it was made out to be. I was rather disappointed. So was Adam. ^_^;; Adam’s the one who got it for me. Waiii!! *squish* He ish sho cooliz.

I told him MTV refused to air it before we saw it. Afterwards he said it was sad, how they wouldn’t show that, yet they show a lot of sexual stuff. Aii … Y-Y What is wrong with the world today?

But otherwise, the video is rather cool. I still like their Carnival video more though. I saw that one on Yahoo Launch thingie. ^-^ I love the feel of that one. Anyway. The end of this video was o.o;;; But not so much as I expected … *sniffle* So disappointing …

augh, troublesome layout

Saturday, 22 February, 2003 at 11:37 pm

-.-;; Here’s the count now:
modifying the header, footer & sidebar templates: 3
modifying the main index templates: 11
rebuilding the main index file: 14
time spent on this layout: at least a good 6 hours
number of times I slammed my fist on the table: 1
number of times I felt like shaking Portibale silly: 2 or 3
number of windows I currently have open trying to figure it all out: 11

O_O; Well anyway, it’s up. Got bored of the other layout. Although I liked the colors, the image and general layout just got to me. Owell. This layout’s nice. ^_^ BoA.

The lyrics have to do with me giving up on my blog, seemingly. o.o;; Yes, that’s right. I don’t post much in here. And it’s mostly pointless stuff. Oi. I should stop saying oi. I keep writing in my livejournal. And I find myself missing my diary, too. ;-; And I should stop starting sentences with the word “and.” Welll … I don’t know what I’m going to do.
