Updates so far. Mac and PC failed on me.

Hi, sorry for being AWOL for a while. Apart from my country's current situation, I should inform that I found a new job recently that's been keeping me busy recently and I have been cautious in the streets with the current events going around and all.

Also, on another note, I've been having computer issues 3 weeks ago. Surprisingly, both my Mac and Laptop failed on me on the same day which left me incummunicated for quite a while. To get an idea, my iMac Aluminum has been having trouble booting up, even on safe mode. Once it starts up, it shuts down immediately after. I sent it to the shop recently do se if I can recover my data and fix the issue. So for those who never used a mac before, they crash too. Any computer does eventually. As for my laptop, a Dell Inspiron 710m which I had for 8 years, has been crashing a lot with constant blue screen errors. It's gotten to a point that not even the taskbar appears on the screen. curiously this all happened days after Windows stopped supporting XP updates (I have XP SP3). Thankfully I was able to recover most of my data in an external hard drive. I hope to find a way to fix the hardware and software issues with this one.

In short I had no choice but to get a new laptop, an Acer Emachine E625 with Windows 7, and while it works well for the most part, it oddly feels inferior to my Dell. Maybe it requires Ram Expansion, Don't know really. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

So, due to the current issues, any project I had pending would temporarily be on hold. I do plan on making four swords 10 and other projects but with my new job, it will get tricky to find the time for it.

Also, I should point out that Osuka is still having Internet related issues and is still looking for a new internet provider to contiue working on his projects again. This has put his projects to a near halt the last 8 months or so and he's trying to get out of this mess.

Yeah, thigs have gotten really shitty for us for some reaon...oh well. We will get out of this somehow.

Yes I know. all I'm saying is that all computers crash eventually.

Great to hear from you again! I'm sure I'm not the only one who was worried, with the unrest and all. Sorry about your computers; hope everything turns out well. I'm looking forward to 4SM 9, whenever it comes out.

That really bites both your computers fell apart and like a snap between two fingers, I'm certain you'll be able to finish your projects, just stay safe out their and if things within Venezuela go from bad to worse, I deeply suggest to relocate if all possible.

When I get the remaining bits for the episode. I've been asking Osuka about it for months. He has no internet at home at the moment. We've been trying to figure out when to meet up so he can send me the files in a flash drive, but due to the current issues in the streets over here as well as other events that got in the way, we've been unable to.

I'm not uploading an unfinished project here until I have everything ready.

BoneChill32 2014-06-03 19:28:54

J0EK1NG 2014-09-04 00:05:20

Any luck yet? It's been a few months since this update...

Anyway, I hope you can submit FSM9 soon and give us an update on 10.

And if we don't hear anything from HadoukenDude for long should things go from bad to worse in Venezuela that alone points out that HadoukenDude needs to relocate elsewhere if all possible.

As for things going downhill back in Venezuela points out how immature their government is, why do people think there's corruption going on within the Venezuelan Goverment??? That's very simple, the Government within Venezuela is very immature about various things, I care NOT how old the officials are when it comes to the positions they put themselves in, I care about how MATURE the officials are when it comes to the positions they put themselves into.

That being said, the very governments that are known to be very corrupt need to be more mature and more in peace with themselves, failure to do so will result corruption not to mention war among themselves...

VicHD 2014-09-10 01:55:50

Just a heads up guys. I'm still Alive and well.

Thanks for your support and sorry about this hiatus.
