Anyway, I've been trying to get Ubuntu installed on the desktop because my laptop cable is doomed and I need to start my next lab assignment urgently. And... I guess I succeeded since I'm typing this from there. However... goddammit.

Yesterday I had to prepare everything for the installation. It went all
a) Ah! I need a couple of new partitions! But I need PartitionMagic for that.
b) Ah! I need to download a good copy of PartitionMagic! But damn, I still have no BitTorrent client!
c) Install BitComet. Download PartitionMagic. Install PartitionMagic.
d) Make the partitions. Wait gazillion years.
e) Ah! My Ubuntu disc is for 64bits so I'll have to get a new install CD!
f) Wait gazillion years for it to download.
g) Ah! But as I wait, I'll need Nero to burn the .iso.
h) Download Nero. Install it as I wait.
i) ...I have to reboot to make it work?! Denied! I'm at 40% of my Ubuntu download, bitch. Wait gazillion years.
j) Finally downloaded? Reboot. Burn CD.
k) Wait gazillion years while Linux gets installed. Play AJ on the meantime.
l) .......I just installed the wrong version WTF! *dies*

So I was all fuck it, and redownloaded and reinstalled Linux today.

...Twice, I reinstalled. Don't ask, I was made of fail.

But the beauty of it all was that Hardy Heron, the current distro, comes with a beta version of Firefox 3. And it sucks balls because it wouldn't let me install extensions. So I removed the shit out of it and installed Firefox 2.

........Except it gives me errors whenever I install an extension ;_____; What am I gonna do with no LJLogin?! Or the Gmail notification gizmo? Or Greasemonkey? GAH. WHAT DID I DO WRONG NOW.

ETA: FIXED IT T_T Thank God.

We can has spoilerz thread )

And why am I posting now instead of waiting for the chapter? Because I miss reading spoilers of something without frothing at the mouth. And Arakawa delivers.

Also, in case my sarcasm wasn't clear, I'm not reading reactions other than my flist's this month. That kind of fans fapping to a certain something will spoil my fun.

......................

I accidentally formatted my USB disk when I installed Linux.

I JUST LOST ALL MY FILES. MY WEBSITE FILES. MY ICON FILES. MY GALLERY IMAGES I HADN'T UPLOADED YET.

MY USHIWAKA SCRIPTS, I COPIED FROM THE GAME. A BUNCH OF TCG CARDS I HADN'T PUT UP YET.



WHAT THE FUCK. I'M SO STUPID. WHY DIDN'T I UNPLUG IT BEFORE TOYING AROUND?




ETA: Also, the laptop cable will be 75€. OUCH.
