That moment when you fry computer brains · 4:00am May 9th, 2016

Well... even with my username, "TheMajorTechie", that still doesn't mean that I'm absolutely perfect at stuff like that. Just today, I accidentally electrocuted myself after touching a live wire inside a system, and burned out the floppy drive's circuit board. Until just a few hours ago, both me and my room both smelled like melted plastic. :twilightsheepish:

There goes my computer... · 3:10am Jul 16th, 2016

And before I even had the chance to pack i up, my main computer's screen kinda just... died.

It still works and all, but it's an older LCD that looks like this squarish black and silver box, but the backlight for it finally gave out. I should've figured that it would soon, considering the annoyingly loud electronic noise that the thing emitted for the past week. All I know is that it lasted a pretty long time for something I picked up at a thrift store. :derpytongue2:

Bad News and Meh News · 2:43am Jan 3rd, 2016

Bad news, the sequel to A Rut in the Rain is in good until further notice... I'm going through some emotional issues, as well as some relationship issues.

Meh News, I'll be working on a different story while I work things out.

Love, Aura...


P.S. Sorry.

I failed submission again... Twice. · 2:32pm Jan 9th, 2016

I don't want to read them for fear I'll have a preemptive mental breakdown, so I'll guess why it failed:
1. I didn't put actual details about the story in the short description.
2. I failed on basic proofreading.
3. The story is dumb and they just failed it because it's too dumb for the site.
4. Something else which I'll probably fail again if I try to fix because I'm naive.

So you know what? I'm not going to bother fixing it right now.

Ghost Chapter · 12:41pm May 16th, 2021

For everyone wondering, why there was an update notification when there was no update: I published the wrong chapter in the wrong story. Sorry everyone! and to those, who were quick enough to read it before I could delete it: That chapter belongs to 'That Time I conquered Equestria as a Colt'. If you liked it, check it out :P.

Again, I'm verry sorry, guys. The unification of Markus and the girls will still have to wait a little.

mild disappointment in ie, but i kinda expected it anyways. · 1:27am Feb 5th, 2018

I'm typing this blog up on my new Surface RT, but not in the way you'd expect. Taking into account that the only available browser is Internet Explorer, I suspected already that certain sites wouldn't load properly. Turns out that if you use two-factor authentication for Fimfiction, the login page will freeze after you enter your password, because Internet Explorer in Windows RT 8.1 cannot render the submission form for the two-factor auth code.

I thought everything was going to be normal today... · 1:52am Dec 4th, 2015

... And then I logged on and noticed my latest stories box looked strange, so I spent 10 minutes trying to fix it, searching for help, and preparing to send a message to knighty... When I realized I didn't have the mature content setting on.
Whoops.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Updates. · 7:24pm Feb 4th, 2018

Remember how I bought a lightly used Surface RT off of Ebay?

Yeah, it's been used so little that I'm stuck waiting for it to install updates between 2014 up to now. And some of the updates failed as well, so I'm now waiting for it to finish "undoing the changes".

Well then. · 12:26am Jan 20th, 2018

The mobo I ordered a fe days ago arrived...

Dead on arrival. Plugged it in following the manual instructions, made sure I used a PSU that wasn't going to fry the thing...

Magic smoke right when I fired it up. Complete with sizzling and popping noise. The VRM for the chipset AND the CPU fried on first boot, even when I was using a PSU that I knew for a fact worked well with hardware from the time period of the mobo.

haha, my stylus broke. · 7:43am Aug 26th, 2021

*looks at my digital handwritten notes for class*

haha, I'm in danger.

until next Wednesday when the replacement pen arrives, that is. :P

this one lasted a good 3 years considering how it was only $30.

was planning on continuing to work on Zoey tonight but that clearly won't be happening now.

Aaaaand now I've encountered the worst coincidence I've ever experienced so far. · 2:54am Feb 5th, 2018

My Surface RT was working well and I as bulldozing through the updates, and I even managed to properly log onto Fimfiction.

The problem?

Turns out that Microsoft just barely released a botched update at the end of January that's been bricking Surface devices all across the board. Guess what just happened to my own?

hmm hmm hmm, just putting the finishing touches on chapter 27. Yep, that's looking pretty good. Maybe I'll just start on chapter 28 a little before going and posting it.

Wait, didn't I do that exact same thing already, when I finished chapter 26?

Uh oh. I was just going to start on 27 a little, before posting 26, and then I went and finished 27! I forgot to post 26, and just moved on to 28! Sheesh, I'm gonna lose readers at this rate.

IN WHICH I FAIL TO VALENTINE
So, in my neck of the woods (Central Time Zone), there's still 10 minutes left in Valentine's Day, so I just wanted to write something quick.

I had to keep myself occupied as this is the first time in eight years that I've not had a lovely lady to share the day with, since (as I've mentioned before), I got dumped last fall after a very long relationship.

Holy crap do I need a new phone. · 12:08am May 13th, 2018

It is not normal to be getting less than 15 FPS on average when playing Angry Birds. Nor is it normal that for the past couple months I've been using aluminum foil as a heatspreader on my phone, and more recently moving on to a spare heatsink I had laying around.

Next time I get a phone, I'm not gonna be buying used, even if it's "factory refurbished".
