Dying in this heat. Drinking iced decaf cold brew with the fan blowing to prevent excessive sweating.
Infuriating. I said 7pm, said I'd be a tiny bit late but to please arrive early because I'd reserved.
I arrive at 7:30, the time I'd actually reserved, and NO ONE'S HERE. No response to messages (though the metro signal is crap).
Insanity. This is a nice bar for someone's birthday. =.=
@matigo /me crawls through the masses of fibre, trying to reconstruct the fragments of his once-whole profile.
@height8 I looked at that last night, most recent thing I could find was that doing so limited OS X vram to 128mb, rendering it pretty useless for any graphics things (which is what I would use OS X for).
@matigo I'm aware, which is why I haven't set such a thing up yet. Actually a tower wouldn't be too hard to transport — when a PC-building friend moved from HK–LA, he just took the components and left the case behind. If I were to set up a NAS right now, I'd do it in HK to avoid handcarrying hard drives on planes every year or three; unfortunately, the apartment in HK is a bit…unstable…for 24/7 electronics, and my parents wouldn't really be able to do much if something happened.
@matigo I've considered maintaining a Linux machine for many years now. I just move around so much that it's impractical to have the setup that I would go for if I were to put the effort in at all: an overpowered tower. I'd have to use this in conjunction with a Mac as well, but I would then just keep the MBA for OS X-ish things like Lightroom or Filemaker (which, honestly, I should get away from as well).
I'd also have to set up a NAS, which would add a considerable amount to the budget.
@matigo I could, but that would mean resetting up a lot of stuff that I don't have time or patience for — and who knows how much longer Mavericks will be supported?
@matigo Yep. Played TF2 for an hour, everything got shaky. Quit Chrome, it crashed updating itself and I had to redownload using Safari. Decided to restart because Spotlight also stopped working.
Time was when 30+ days' uptime was the norm…

Wow, really? 1 day to prevent account deletion? Go fuck yourselves.
