Once again, up at a stupid hour. Though this time those exams are over and I have the weekend. English went absolutely amazingly, perfect text type and so on. IT, eeehhhh... mind blank when I walked in :/
Anyway. Main reason I'm still up is due to my habit of obsessively going after things if they aren't doing what I want.
Most of tonight has been spent relaxing and so on. At one point, I got bored, and found the remains of one of my old MP3 players. Next button is broken - it doesn't come back out so it thinks it's being held down. Doubles as fast forward. Can get by after removing casing so it's just a circuit board/LCD/battery etc.
Found it worked.
Decided for some reason to make a way of mounting it on my wrist with some form of band.
Managed this.
Decided to replace all music on it... uh-oh.
Isn't working so well with my computer.
Crap.
Can't format it, can't open it, can't do anything. It's there, definitely. Take Vista to it at some point tomorrow, see if I get further - using Windows Seven at the moment.
Now I've ended Explorer - which kept freezing - and the image name is still there in task manager. Taskkill it using /F in command prompt. It claims success, but no success is shown. Tried starting it again and ending it again.
Bah.
Knew something like this would happen...
Still. If I can get it working, it does definitely look quite cool, in a sort of cyberpunk-esque way. Not something to wear out and about - especially if it might rain - but something, definitely, to keep around.
But anyway. Was mostly just writing while I tried to sort things out. No luck. Will get it sorted tomorrow, off now. Night all. Expect an entry that isn't just a mindless boring rant or something at some point in the next month or so, I reckon...
