Moddng hiatus

Post by Guessmyname »

I'm taking a temporary break from modding, for 2 reasons:

1. GCSEs
2. Computer instability.

I've uploaded the latest Epic Legions beta (for those who know where it is) and backed up my most important files (Legions' models, Insurgency Devision stuff and coursework - my artwork is already uploaded to the internets anyway), so if I do get the click of death, I shouldn't loose anything too important

Are you saying that you setup so in case you die you will continue modding from the other side? :shock:

I think that the click of dead refers to his computer...

Hard Drives apparently go 'click' when they're about to crash and burn:
Wikipedia wrote:On non-Zip systems (usually a hard disk), the click of death refers to a similar phenomenon; when a hard disk has a hard error or servo failure, the head actuator will buzz and click as the drive tries to recover from the error. Since the media is not removable on these drives, the defect is almost always due to physical abuse or a manufacturing error. IBM's storage division had their own click of death problems in 2001 with the mass failure of their popular Deskstar, dubbed "Deathstar", 75GXP hard disks.

Yes they do. I've lost one to a hot summer during a Win2k reinstall (thank you chkdsk). That thing was loud, but not on fire.
