    chkdsk /f

    September 15, 2008 /

    Running chkdsk in read only mode (without the /f handle) is a big waste of time. I didn’t really know that until today. I pulled a 250Gb SATA drive out of my dead PC and was using it in an external box via USB – this ended in corrupted directories for some reason. Now chkdsk is fixing my main torrent drive.

    Mahoroba is Japanese Arcadia

    September 12, 2008 /

    Max was overtired and sleep-deprived today, so he just threw a big fit on and off for a couple hours. It was impossible to get any work done, but I still love him with all my heart. ———- —- — — – – – — ———- —- — — – – – — Sometimes, though, I stay in the bathroom longer than I need to… And I’m not even reading. The ceiling fan turns and water from the shower drips with a steady rhythm… I’m hesitant to leave my sphere of tranquility.
