Apologies

05-05-08, 11:25 AM

I'm having a bit of problems with my pc. My hard drive is intermittently corrupting files. So I've been pretty much dead in the water for the last couple of weeks.

I want to apologize for taking so long with finishing and releasing the mods I've been working on, and updating the ones I've already released. At the moment I'm limited to logging on here on my work pc, but I'll try and keep in touch.

Hey, absolutely no need to apologize - thanks for the info still though. Yah, computers... if one wants to call cheapo PC tech (usually) combined w/ M$ c**p we all have to suffer in our daily lives that

Hope you get the drive changed and your data restored m8. S!

Hang in there AvH.

Judging by that picture you'd better make sure the new drive is waterproof

Been missing you very much around here, AvH!

I'm very glad to know it was simply some hardware troubles and not a matter of you getting tired of SH3 and walking away!

I hope you get your computer all fixed up soon. I've been dying for you to finish work on the Depth Charge Noise mod and all those other "must-have" mods you had been cranking out so quickly.

So how do I address the "Get Well" card for your computer? :p

::sighs::

Days after losing my HD my car also went belly-up. Have a new car now; well, new to me anyway; as it's a 1991 I can't say it's really all that new. Nedless to say I've been concentrating more on getting a replacement car than a replacement HD. I wish I could say I'll be back into things soon but, at the moment, I've no ETA on when I'll be up and running again.

Again, my apologies.

Lige can be a real PITA at times mate.

Sorry to hear of your misfortune.

Take care of RL matters first.

Looking forward to see you return when your able.

Good Luck

I hope you have some backup! With those corrupt files it is not the moment to make one now

Always make sure that S.M.A.R.T. is enabled, and use a good tool to diagnostic possible near future problems with your hd's.

Murr44 · 05-19-08, 06:03 PM

No apologies necessary.

Real life always comes first. Sorry to hear about your recent run of bad luck...

An apology thread? NICE!

Well, I'm here to apologize to OLC for being rude, indifferent and sarcastic on the past few weeks. I had the best of intentions and was pure in all my thoughts, but it came all wrong.

I'm also here to apologize to Rubini for taking too long to finish my part of the optional packs for the new mod we are doing together. Life is taking all my time away mate, but I'll try to catch on.

I also want to apologize to Privateer for being such a dick sometimes. Sorry mate, I'll try to behave myself.

Whew... It's very nice to purify the soul sometimes... Very nice thread this one!
