Ah, computers...

Sun Oct 18, 2009, 10:03 PM
  • Mood: Unheard
  • Listening to: Icy Flight (Spyro the Dragon) - Stewart Copeland
  • Reading: A silly website about computers
  • Watching: Star Trek
  • Playing: Dragon Quest VIII
  • Eating: Sandwich
  • Drinking: Pepsi Max
It appears that I have given myself another reason to be moody about lacking a job, that is lacking money for a new computer.

This computer is old, it is a third-hand laptop that was made to run nothing more than Windows NT (and I'm running XP on it, heheh), with a 20gig harddrive and an unknown RAM size (but apparently this particular laptop typically has a 128-512meg RAM). When looking at computer places, the fact that the laptops there that are considered to be 'low spec' have a 160gig harddrive and a 2gig RAM...that is enough to make one moody about the fact that it is considered low spec yet mine is worse than that...and I cannot even afford it because I lost my job about eight months ago - the cost of one of one of these 'low spec' laptops is the amount of money I manage to scrape together in a month.

This laptop freezes/snails if I have certain programs running too long such aa - firefox, winamp, photoplus, furcadia, cd games, my virus scanner, a chinese instant messenger. I cannot play online games or mmorpgs because the processor is too slow to respond to commands (so I cannot even play flash games on neopets, or run runescape). My wireless card is the most powerful I can get for a laptop and yet it cuts out very frequently though there is nothing wrong with the wireless connection or router. Hehe, yes, I am gabbing on a bit now ^^;

Long story short - I need a new computer, can't afford it.

Hello there, tT here with a mini update. Just to say I've updated all the photos with a link to your DA page. You are very welcome to take some of the photos for your own gallery with your cosplay in it, just credit us or the person that took the photo (we'd say in our description if it was not us). Again, was great to meet you! Your costume was fantastic. If you do another Dr Who cosplay next Expo let us know and keep in touch!

EINON!

I saw you post on the London Expo forums >D

If you're going, keep an eye out for a Lacus Clyne cosplayer (or a Vyse cosplayer, but I don't think I'll get that costume finished on time ><;)
