Woops.

Mon Jan 19, 2009, 7:28 AM
I have learned a valuable lesson these last couple of weeks...and that is DON'T EFF WITH YOUR COMPUTER UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

Yeah. I crashed my system attempting to install something I shouldn't have been installing, but thought I knew enough to make it work. The problem is, I have a few friends who do this kind of thing for a living, and I think I know more than I do. The result was the dreaded screen of death and a week of waiting for new OS software to fix it. Oh, right, I did this butchery to a MAC, which I think is kind of awesome. I broke a mac.

Anyway, I'm back up and running (sort of) and attmepting to recover files that got eaten in the process. So I'm thinking that Red Stripe Beer should make another commercial like the "Don't throw eggs!!" one, perhaps a "Don't mess with your computer!!" or something like "Boo, homemade IT services, hooray BEER!".

Okay, we've reached the point where I'm being stupid now, so there's my story. Ta-daaaah!

  • Mood: Shame
  • Listening to: Scissor Sisters, as they have eaten my brain.
  • Reading: Old school Tank Girl
  • Watching: my fish Artemis
  • Playing: Dig out your car 2: return of the yeti!
  • Eating: My newly perfected chocolate cookies that I made
  • Drinking: ..water.

lol, I agree with you 100%. One time was I running a CD in my cd drive with a program that I did not know to much about( a cheap burning software).I had to set up the program to recognize my cd drive, I click burn, My cd drive turn in to a cd blender and chop up my cd into many pieces. ROFL, I had to get a whole new cd drive :highfive:

Oh wow...that sounds dangerous, and hilarious (after the fact anyway =P)

I used to have one of the first iMac models, and I had an external cd-burner attached...it had stopped WRITING cds by the end of its life and was instead STABBING them. It sounded like someone was milking a cat inside it.

most of it...but the pages that I did the base code on are okay. I'm hoping to get it online today :D

Haha, everytime my computer makes a noise I jump now...I'm expecting it to snarl and sucker punch me at any moment. And I think it's got the microwave in on the plan...
