Graduated (June 8th, 2018)
Past month was crazy. Had to live with my dad in the small room he rents out of someone else's house for three and half weeks, attended my old high school's prom and got to see familiar faces, moved into a house (not another apartment) that wasn't gonna have cable or Internet for 5 days, and finally graduated yesterday, after which I grabbed my diploma today.
Final Update (Feb 27, 2018)
I'm finally back.
While my computer was indeed fixed in time for New Year's, a new problem arose in the form of broken cable ports. For some reason, if I moved my modem to any other cable port in the apartment (particularly my room) from the spot in the kitchen, it wouldn't go online.
When we finally confirmed that nobody was gonna fix it (maintenance said anything wrong with cable/Internet should be taken up by ISP; ISP said nothing was wrong on their end), I decided two days ago to move my entire setup to the kitchen.
So here I am. Using my computer for the first time since June. I had to clean the dust off my keyboard and mouse. My muscle memory is completely lost, so I have to look at my keyboard while typing, and I have to readjust to my…
Update-Update (Dec 18th, '17)
Welp, data irrecoverable.
2-3 days I'll be going back to pick up the replacement hardware along with my computer itself, and hopefully before the year's end I'll get to clear the dust from my keyboard and mouse and get back into business in time for 2018.
Update (Dec 17th 2008)
Half a year since my computer busted and I finally, FINALLY got around to getting the problem checked out.
The diagnostic is that the motherboard, capacitor, and hard drive all simultaneously fried from old age alone (this is an Intel desktop from 2008 and I've had it for 5 years).
The guy servicing it should get back to me Monday about-
A) How difficult it would be to find/get replacement hardware for such a dated system.
B) If my files and data are even salvageable from the frizzled hard drive and can be transferred to the proposed new one.
Edit: Don't know why the PS4 library auto-filled the year to 2008 and not 2017.
I wish I had a working computer.
Update as of Oct 27, 2017.
Now that I'm accustomed to my new school, finding the time and place to make edits on the wiki via my school's computers is a lot easier, and I'm able to make more time-consuming changes.
However, there are still things I cannot do until my computer gets fixed (my family isn't particularly well-off). Most of these are due to the security program barring me from certain websites.
- Take and add screenshots to articles (no screenshot program)
- Update story descriptions for Vento Aureo articles (I have no reference material since manga websites are blocked, and most of the finer details have already escaped me)
- List Eyes of Heaven movesets
