New laptop...

because the old one died T-T.

Windows decided to not work and refused to repair and now it's not finding the hard drive at all. I had some translation projects in progress on that computer that will have to be started over again. The biggest loss is some of Rebecca's songs and AMVs in progress were on there too. I'm still hoping to recover the data off that hard drive for that reason.

We really need to replace the external hard drive I was using for backups. (Someone dropped it and it broke...) That's the problem with these huge hard drives. The only thing that's big enough to back them up is another huge hard drive.

Well, the good news is I have a new laptop. Dan surprised me with it while I was in the middle of fighting with the old one. Bigger screen. Twice the hard drive space. Twice the processing speed. Four times the memory. Three year extended warrenty. It has Windows Vista, which takes a bit of getting used to, but all-in-all I'm happy with it.

Updates this week... Just updated the concert schedule page again during the night. Oh, and the release date for the JAM Project best album and Japan Flight tour DVD has been changed from July 23rd to August 6th. Sometime today I'll be updating the news and discography pages to reflect that.

I guess that's it for now. I'm still working on setting up the computer with the software I use, but gradually I'm getting back into the swing of things. Look for more updates soon. ^-^b

It's been one of those days...

I'm writing this while sitting in a Starbucks waiting for my sister to get off work so we can carpool home. I'm probably going to crash hard when I get there.

A couple translation updates on my site this morning:

"No Border" - the first of many translations that Eleanor is doing for me to earn her part of the airfare to Baltimore in August. We're going to Otakon to see JAM Project together. ^-^b

"Skill" - the groovy thing about the NicoNico Douga site is that people write their comments across the screen. Lately the fans have been writing the song lyrics across the screen. I've finally got a corrected version of the song's intro and outro that weren't on the CD liner notes with the rest of the lyrics! Yay!

We've also found words to a lot of the rapping and background vocals in "Cry for the Earth". Eleanor says the words to the rapping change the song translation a bit... so we'll be revising the whole translation together on my next available free day. Look for it!

Oyasuminasai! zzzzz (I wish...)

peace

Today's updates: News, Concert Schedule, Discography.
No big essays tonight. I need to take the girls to a school event in the morn... and morning comes fast. I'm going to bed. Good night!
