"A chance for Faramir, Captain of Gondor, to show his quality..."

Three stunning new icons, all courtesy of orangesnow. She made about a billion more, all of which I ADORE, but limited space and all. =D Went to upload two others I made for myself weeks ago but they're 103x103. Figures. Will resize them later, as I don't have much patience left now to RE-open photoshop.

So, I've been having horrible problems with my computer tonight. Does it make sense to you that I received "Running critically low on disk space!"/"Not enough memory to open (program)! Close one or more other programs to continue" messages ALL NIGHT tonight when I have over 2 gigs of free space on my main HD, and over 14 on my subsequent one? Yeah, I thought so.

So everything's going fine for the most part. Yahoo is still twigging out every now and again, but I've learned to deal with that. Meg got on and it's as if yahoo could sense the evil and it totally spazzed out on her. I opened AIM to talk to Alicia... BAD IDEA. AIM went wonky. So my computer just wasn't... right after that. But it's not until orangesnow started sending me my new preciouses that my computer really threw a fit. It took a second to get them downloaded, but after we figured that out everything seemed to run smoothly (save for the fact that she was sending them faster than I could save them and I had about 972353485 dl boxes on my screen at one time or another). Then my computer started acting... not right. I left to go watch Two and a Half Men and CSI: Miami, closing out yahoo completely because I was mildly frustrated. When I came back everything started twigging. Like I said, sending me "critical space" messages every time I tried to do something (did I mention I kept getting those as I was downloading the new icons, too? No? Oops). It hit me that I had listened to/watched a lot of mp3's today and they always annoyingly get saved on my smaller HD automatically. I thought I may have exceeded my space limits and that possibly that was the reason why yahoo has been acting up (I haven't cleaned out that folder in a while because I store everything on my larger HD).

Not so. Even before deleting the sound files I had a good 2 gigs of space. So what was the problem you may ask? I. have. no. fecking. clue. But it was annoying. I kept having to close programs and reboot things and delete things and try to open things while my computer protested and it was NOT fun. Yahoo finally flips on and someone IMs me but there's no box. So I gave up and restarted the whole system. So far it's been behaving itself, but I'm still mildly annoyed by the whole thing. I don't know what the heck got into The One Computer, but boy did it ever throw an evil-warlord-hissy-fit.

[Edit: Oh, and I forgot to mention windows randomly resizing themselves. WTF???? Okay, nice hobbit, good hobbit...]


Anyway. Here I sit with nothing more to say really. Ummm reading TTT makes me happy, though I could practically recite the thing for you if you asked. A monthly friend has stopped in for their week long visit today, which isn't cool. But we have cake and ice cream, so I can deal. Bwah. You guys rock so much it kills me. And yeah.

Seems like there was something I wanted to say, dang it. Oh well.

I'm spent. 'Night all.

I think critically low memory messages refer to your RAM and not the space on your hard drive. Which is good in it's own way because RAM is so much cheaper to expand than a hard drive.

Restarting the computer takes care of those messages for a while, but if you're running several programs at once or downloading lots and lots of things, you're likely to see them again.

'Fecking' is the best word in the English language. And most other languages, too. ;)

Yeah, but my RAM is good too. By all acounts it doesn't make much sense! :\

Sorry, I thought it just tossed those files into the folder. I didn't know you had to do something to save them on your end too. :/
(ME STUPIDO!)
