computer woes
Oct. 22nd, 2010 11:58 amOkay, so the story goes something like this, I wanted to transfer some files from one of my external hard drives to my mom's laptop. However I clicked 'safely eject' for the wrong drive but didn't realize it until after I'd unplugged the one I was transferring stuff from. It worked just fine when I plugged it into my mom's computer anyway so I figured it hadn't been a problem.
But then I plug it back into my computer and it keeps telling me "device not recognized" and after trying to get it to work I tried it on my mom's computer again and now it would recognize the drive either. I've tried about every option I've seen when I searched for a solution and nothing has worked.
Yes, yes, I have a degree in computer science, but hardware is so not my thing it's not even funny. So anyone on my f-list who does understand this stuff? Help me out, please.

Extra DW thoughts

streeeeeetch
Feb. 28th, 2010 09:17 pmSo after a pretty good while away, I'm finally stretching out those vidding muscles (I tried to wake up the writing muses yesterday and they...sort of showed up). Oh WMM, keep right on being super annoying so I really don't know for sure how everything's working until the end. It's annoying but I cope with it...mostly.
The bigger reminder, that I HATE musical intros/interludes. Just plain music without words isn't my thing particularly when vidding. The vid I made last month for
lycannoir didn't really have all that much of that and the intro I ran dialog over (even when I think it's appropriate for the vid a part of me thinks it's I'm taking the easy route on it). I suck at judging how long things should run without lyrics and went through about four drafts of the opening 15 seconds. The fact that I ended up with it about what it started out looking like in my head is just...awkward since I took such a round about way to get there.
I'm sure I've done this rant before, especially to those of you I sometimes chat with about vid making, but I needed to get it out there. Plus it means I at least got one more journal entry in this month.
