staying on topic is soooo 2007

Twineball · 12-19-2007, 01:15 AM

So when these tracks are released (hopefully not on iTunes, dear god), are we supposed to be surprised? At how good they are, or how crappy?

SlingeroGuitaro · 12-19-2007, 01:20 AM

Where did these guys get January 1st as a reliable date?

Who said that it's reliable? It's just taken from Jimmy's post on the SP blog: "Look for these around the first of the year. Busy Bees!"

caroline · 12-19-2007, 10:04 AM

I hope the new Pumpkins appear on whatever they release next. If they want us to really accept them as full band members they would do this. B and J really need input from other voices. Jimmy seems too much like Billy's yes-man.

UGGG! AROUND THE FIRST OF THE YEAR DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY = JANUARY FIRST.

I am, however, prepared to eat crow if they come out jan. 1.

SlingeroGuitaro · 12-19-2007, 10:22 AM

around the first of the year could be christmas too

just sayin

beat your husband for that!

i don't know if i'd go as far as to eat crow (i hear they carry many diseases!) if these songs are out for the new year.. but i'd sure be shocked!

useless chatter topic of the day:
brittney spears' 16-year-old sister is preggo

how did he kill the hard drive? swipe a magnet across it?

yes, i know exactly what you're talking about with those headaches. they are only in one spot in your head but they hurt like hell and never let up. i would recommend not staring at a computer screen, but i suppose you're at work. have you taken some aspirin?

yeah i saw that too. i like how i can skim a netphoria thread and get the the gist of a news story. and some social commentary too. mayday's pro-life banter takes up too much in the thread though, imo.

Maybe they're using this as a last chance to put out music without the new members, and then the next album will ink-lewd them.

That way they can "finish what they started" I guess.

nah it's not really his fault i guess, he left it on last night while he was converting some videos to burn to dvd, and forgot to plug in before he went to bed, so the battery died and now it won't boot up. I get this folder icon with a question mark inside of it, and according to the apple support forums, this usually means your drive is dead. I guess it's not that horrible since it's under warranty, but i haven't done a backup in a while, so i lost stuff. Like my video taken at the sp show

and the song I wrote this weekend

*sigh*

oh, i took advil. It's not working though. What a crap day.

This evidence clearly points to him:

Geez, iBooks are fragile, aren't they? This Dell laptop I have just goes into 'hibernation' mode and keeps all your programs up until you plug it back in. =/ Hopefully you can get it running again, though.

Did you happen to post that song anywhere?

skipgo · 12-19-2007, 11:46 AM

well the reason i don't think it was his fault is because this doesn't usually happen just because the battery died; it had to be a problem with the hard drive itself. But the ibook i had before never gave me any trouble, and i had it for two years. I only upgraded to the macbook because i wanted a faster processor and more ram to handle all of these recording apps.

didn't post the song; it was just a little track of a riff i came up with to help me remember, not really a whole song. Maybe it's not lost...

exactlythesame · 12-19-2007, 11:51 AM

How lame. I would be extremely sad if I lost all my data just like that. Thankfully, I have most of it on an external hard drive, so it should be safe should something happen to the CPU. Maybe an idea for the future?

SlingeroGuitaro · 12-19-2007, 11:52 AM

your harddrive should be fine. you probably just have to reinstall the OS. boot it up in CD mode (i forget what button you press when you restart. C maybe?)

if you have a repair disk run the diagnositics check to see if it can be repaired. if not, boot it from an OS disk and re-install it.

this used to happen to me with early versions of OSX, but once it got to 10.2 or so, it stopped happening

but then again, maybe the HD is dead
