Winamp! Nooooooooo!
Fuck it all. My winamp isn't working. It may be because I installed a private RO server last night...at least, that's when it started acting up.
It seems as though my computer is once again going through what I will coin computer puberty. Awkward changes including: files where there didn't used to be files, taking longer to respond to actions, and deep physical urges to 'get with' other computers.
I like to think that I take care of my computers, but sometimes computer puberty is inevitable. It'll be nice (albeit timeconsuming and frustrating) to give this thing a clean slate...again. Wait, actually this'll be the first time I wipe this drive. My older computer, however, has probably been wiped clean about four or five times. But it was Windows ME, and before the age of Firefox and adware removal, so that's actually a reasonable number. I really have no idea how computer-fearing people can go for as long as they can without reformatting. Of course they're more succeptible to accumulating crap, not keeping the file directory well sorted, and generally not giving a good cleaning every now and again.
On a different note, Ragnarok Online is fun. I remember playing the beta (and I remember making a blog post about remembering the beta). Of course, it was fun because it was free. One of these days I may go right ahead and get the six month package, but I fear that I'll stop playing after a month or two and pick up some other game that doesn't have a lifespan. I was playing on the private server (free but buggy and illegal) last night, and that game really is beautiful. Like if Diablo wasn't about evil and death, and the characters were replaced with cutesy anime style sprites, you'd have RO. Even some of the people you meet for brief moments are entertaining; I had a conversation with some other novice that simply included "I can't sit!", "I can't stand!". Good times.
Well, I'm still working like a dog, but of course I get next to nothing accomplished on weekends, so I haven't done any work yet. I've got two assignments and one midterm in the next two days, and then I'm leaving on a jet plane for Thunder Bay. So farn the agenda is sledding and a Star Wars marathon. I'm sure there will be a lot of chillaxinization as well.
In other news, I have no roommates now. That is to say I have none listed. Either I have a four bedroom townhouse all to myself, or this housing process isn't as smooth as I thought it would be. Who knows who I'll wind up with in the end.
Listening to... Smack Attack - Moonshine, Baby
Link of the moment... It really is much more beautiful in action.
