    WAs just starting to cook a fry at 3 and I heard glass, So I thought "Here's another random drunk on his way up the road", Till I looked out my window and realised it was some nutcase smashing windows farther up the block, He must have done some damage as there was a lot of glass breaking. But its nothing new to that house anyway.:eek:

    Darned sleep, I wonder what'd be better: a drastically shortened lifespan but you spend it feeling perfectly awake 24/7 or a lengthened one where you spend a massive portion of your life asleep anyway (i.e the status quo)?

    I'm just angry I can't stay up all night and then either feel guilty for sleeping away most of the next day or exhausted from getting so little sleep...

    I had the great idea of formatting all my hard drives and clean installing Windows and leaving myself a nice 20GB partition for Arch Linux for a bit of a mini project trying to get it set up and configured and designed to the bolix....

    laptop then starts deciding to go to a black screen when switching on after installing windows.. remove second hard drive and laptop boots perfectly... last 4 hours have been spent trying to fix it so I can put my second hard drive back in... :(

    refuse to go to sleep until I fix this though or until I jsut physically conk out...

    why do I have to be a nerd :o :pac:

    Sounds like you have formatting issues or bad sectors! Best thing to do is to run Linux off USB or CD so you can switch out drives and figure out what's happening.

    bootloader was deciding to install to my second hard drive and the computer didn't know what the **** was going on basically :p dunno why it was installing there and how I didn't notice it... could have broken the laptop when I noticed it though... :o

    all is working again now with lovely Ubuntu 10.10 dualing booting with Windows 7 but Arch linux can suck a lemon... Pacman was broken or something along those lines - it's noted issue apparently so bleh - to much work trying to import keys to to install programs... Arch is on the shelf for the next few weeks until I get bored again...

    Archlinux is a bit of work alright, but persevere! I have tri-boot Arch, Windows 7 and Snow Leopard on my computer. Out of the 3, Archlinux runs the best (though you can't really judge OSX to harshly :P ).

    Pacman + Yaourt > Apt-get :D

    Your not the only one, Haven't had a puff of the magic stuff in over a week so I know I won't sleep if I go to bed now. Sure even the birds are awake and singing now.

    It's late. I've spent the last few hours watching silly videos and stuff, y'know yourself... This means I'll sleep in again tomorrow and waste the whole day on nothing aaand the cycle continues! :( So okay to make up for it I'm totally not going to go on the internet all weekend!

    See you all tomorrow then.

    I think it's time for bed; I'm at that extremely weird point of sleep deprivation where my mind conjures up all sorts of strange crap. Imagining a flock of birds chirping away to the melody of Elton John's Don't Go Breaking My Heart was amusing at first but it's probably more suited to the dream world.

    One plus point of going to bed this late is that it reduces the chances of stubbing my toe on something.
