So There I Am

Laura

I have just laughed out loud at something said on the internet, for the third time this evening. This is good.

More on the ipod thing!

But only because Rio can't write firmware to save their lives.

Steam-ing pile of

Peter: Grr! Some people have all the luck. And I thought I'd get a DVD because it would be more reliable (haha at me) :)

In the end I copied the CD to my hard drive again and ran the installer from there, and it worked fine. Looks like there was some kind of random corruption reading from the DVD drive.

Now I'm waiting for the game files to decrypt. This copy protection is a bit overkill. Just let me run the game, make me log into a server if I want to play online by all means, but this is overkill. How does can offline LANs play HL2? Joke.

Andrew: I just did a lot of cleaning! There will be a new entry about that shortly :)

I get round all of these things by never playing HL2.

I get round a bunch of other problems by never using my computer. I prefer to do things which don't have advanced copy protection crap on it these days, like cooking and cleaning :)

I must be the luckest person when it comes to computers. I've managed to have no problems with any of the following:
1) Steam
2) Windows
3) IE (until i stopped using it)
4) CD burning
5) Copy protection schemes (even star force)

I d/led Hl2 rather than buy the disc and i have a better copy, which nicely updates itself and i've no problems.

If you can get the gcf files off the DVD then install steam and put those files in the SteamApps folder. Unless Vivendi screwed you over (they made the DVD and put their own copy protection on which has problems with steam apparently) then the files will be the same as those i have and you'll be all good.

Seen recently...

Leela the chunk

Hello hello :)
I felt the need to comment and give you encouragement to cane your journal up, because everyone else's is incredibly dull and lame and not a patch on mine!
Oh! While I am here I will tell you this! So everyone can read it and see what a spanner your girlfriend is! When I had to answer the phone at work today, the person on the other end was a complete twat and very rude, so as soon as I had hung up, I had a big rant to Katie about how horrible they were, ra ra ra.

Except, I hadn't hung up, had I!!
Bothered! They'll get over it!

Anyway laters potatasxx

Just so you know...

Awww, I think you look cute!

Spam Makes Me Hungry

Leela

and presents for your lovely girlfriend!

Radiac's Adventures in Cornwall

I wondered about her name! Fixed now :)

Leela

AWWW!!! Reading all that jazz made me feel very sad again! Bloody Mullion chavs! Scum of the earth! I hope they die from the radiation produced by MY phone!
Oh and you spelt Clare's name wrong-she will be most miffed!
Ttfn

My Home Is A Building Site

Leela: Aww, why do you say "surgery" like it's not real?! They'll probably put me under general anaesthetic! I could die!

NoVisAnima: My dentist has missed my chipped tooth the past 3 times I've been. Hell, he even ignored it when I told him about it. But yeah, that baby tooth is kinda messed up ;)

Tristan: Yes! Every last drop, mwhahahha! Nah, not all of it, just the stuff that was dated 1985 and said 'Consume within a year'. Hmm, how long does champagne last?

Did you pour away the wine, too?

Some of us are on 'holiday'. Otherwise, i guess it's down to wisdom teeth that i haven't gone to a dentist in a while. They are bound to do something about my chipped teeth, baby tooth and the wisdom tooth stuck in my gum. But i like my ... typically british... mouth damnit.

Leela

No it is because the only one worth reading (ie mine!!), is no more! But notice how I have somewhat taken over yours instead! Tee hee! Yay loving your impending "surgery", I'll look forward to dispensing your discharge script, although as I am unable to pass my dispensing accuracy it could be an error!
Ttfn!

Ooh, I Have Been Quiet

Leela

Haven't actually read this yet, but I was going to say "you need to update this!!" Now the luxury of my journal is no more, and Char won't do hers until she goes to weight watchers again, there's no comedy to be had! Everyone else's is crap, you're my only hope! Having already watched Dodgeball and Man on Fire (again!) today, you can see I am rather bored. And it's only 7.30. Sorry this is turning into an epic!

Now that's service

Wait till the next great email outage ;p

A Sad Day

Leela

Purely relaying messages between you and Char on msn is super dull, just thought I would abuse your journal to let you know that. Ttfn!

Leela

Just thought I would comment as I am getting withdrawl symptoms from journal-ness! I hope you are loving the pure geekery of me talking to you on msn, while you're in the other room! Shame!

Now that's service

It's a good thing you didn't sign up for Wanapoo!

You have internet now... you weren't seriously thinking of going to bed, were you?
