Time for a new Hard Drive.

But I don’t know the first thing about it, since I haven’t done it before. (ever) How does it work? Can anyone point to a page that explains it all? All I can find is DIY pages which are not a great help.

Some answers I want.

Is it possible to get a new hard drive to act as an extension to my current one?

Or does it appear in “My Computer” as a new drive letter, and which whats all this about master and slave, and how does that work?

I am a total noob at this, and know little about it. A little help would be appreciated :O

The magic of home networking and DVD-RW

I now post from a router, and a new computer. My old computer is used for gaming, and is connected by a wireless router, which gets 100% signal now and then. Iv’e also got into this DVD burning thing, and am burning my assorted avis to DVD. Hurray. I also now have a digital camera, which is good, as I want to take photos of assorted wikipedia article locations Iv’e made.

Woots of doom. Its a new blog post!

So. I tried out this new Star Wars : Empire at War demo, and what can I say? I loved it. I will be getting that game next month ‘fo sure. Play.com should be rather helpful there. This and Supreme Commander, Chris Taylors next really cool wargame, will be my buys planned for this year.

Unfortunately, I still can’t get smarty working on my pafiledb. I’m a big noob, and need help. The people at Phparena smell at support, because they don’t give out any documentation, but instead send you to smarty documentation, which doesn’t explain anything. If anyone reading this knows smarty, can they please help me! Argh!.

Why, oh why did I upgrade?

Im talking about PaFileDB, by the way, which has become the WORST possible file database to integrate into my site design, which, last version, integration was only really hard. Im guessing they really do not want you to integrate it with your website so they can get more attention. Here’s mine, whereas before, it actually had the nav bar and webring code to the side and underneath. The upgrade seems to have guzzled up the stats page too. Although there are now well over 200 downloads on all files. Perhaps I should see if there is some sort of way to get “top downloaded files” to show on the Index somewhere. That’d be cool.

Oh yes. I have quite a nasty cold too. All the coughing has caused me to tear some ligaments in my ribcage, making it hurt whenever I do anything, including coughing, which Im doing a lot 🙁
