  1. Aaah, no!! I broke it! There's fire and smoke everywhere and-- oh, hi RDN.

    1. @forestrain everything okay over there

      1. @hotluna Yup, installed my new processor. Going to backup some stuff off a couple of my other hard drives, before replacing one of them with my new 2TB.

        1. @forestrain Nice. :D

    2. @forestrain Literal crash and burn is best crash and burn.

    3. @forestrain ... That doesn't sound very good.

    4. @forestrain More seriously, what happened?

      1. @greatandpowerfuleaglehooves Everything went exactly as planned. See below. ^.^

        1. @forestrain Oh. I'm too used to things actually breaking.

          1. @greatandpowerfuleaglehooves Lol, really? I think I've only even fudged a hardware install once. (Was installing a drive and knocked a large and badly placed capacitor on the mainboard rather badly.)

            1. @forestrain I work IT part-time, and when it gets quiet I try and salvage stuff from the pile of stuff tagged for recycling. Turns out there's usually a reason it's there. Last night I borrowed a 320Gb SATA drive, dropped it in my dock once I got home and ran a bad sector scan, and when I woke up I had a BSOD.

              1. @greatandpowerfuleaglehooves Lol! You should build a gigantic animatronic malfunctioning robot out of it. Call him RecyClo. (And make sure he has only one eye... ...and make sure it's red.)

                1. @forestrain That would be like, the most awesome thing ever.

                2. @forestrain That's way better than what I had in mind. I was thinking of grabbing a laptop, disassembling the screen, and breaking the 4th wall without Photoshop.

                  1. @greatandpowerfuleaglehooves Yeah man... Pinkie's awesome, but RecyClo fights for the good of the planet. He must be made to exist!

                    Tuesday, 21-Feb-12 19:30:24 UTC from web
                    1. @forestrain Hm... They might want me to do actual work, but RecyClo can handle them once he's done.

              2. @greatandpowerfuleaglehooves Also, you've persuaded me to scan my 1TB for errors. (Since it's the one I've been having issues with in Pro Tools.) I think it's still fine for storage, however... (Hopefully it doesn't crash down the line. >.>)
