Time for an update (don't wanna make a blog, but I find it nice to tell my friends what I do).

I didn't resume taking medicines. I don't think I'll come back to it soon (if not ever). ERIKK, you didn't notice anything, but that's normal : this stuff was quite "silent", and I wouldn't have come to Breda to stay on my own. I felt quite at home there, a weird feeling, and so I want to re-thank Beam for the welcome.

I went skiing to my usual ski village (Alps), with no family but with friends. At last I could do that, and I was proud to invite some friends who had never skied or seen snow in mountains. Maybe I'm smart enough to organize another kind of reunion someday...

I started my 1st real job in my life last Monday !!! I'll work for 6 months in a company dealing with other companies that work on office installing (when a company decides to move to another building). My company does a thing called "space planning". I'll oversee an office installement near our own office (5 min), just ouside the city of Paris.

My brother came back from Reunion Island tonight. After 6 months spent over there, and about a year after coming back from Australia (6 months too). Great to have the bastard here again !

Message for Paali : dude, move your ass and get the latest version of SNes9x (v1.43) !! It's got a video feature, and now you can shoot your games, lol. I started to do it for F-Zero, and that's so cool. The videos are stored in a special format, only readable by the emulator, and they are very light. Only when you convert them to avi's are they damn heavy. I think I'll shoot much stuff soon, why not Zelda 3, mmmmh maybe boring, or my tales in Street Fighter 2... Oh the joy.

I wonder if I'll often play Civ3 now.... Mmmh lately I've always been waiting for my saves, so no problemo.

Très cool indeed. If you want, we can exchange vids via MSN or mail, they're so light. You only need the 1.43 version and the ROM. I made a vid of F-Zero where I almost lost, but... no.

Fucker, you told me you beat Street Fighter 2 on level 8 with Dhalsim !!! I'm gonna beat you for sure now, cause once I stopped at M. Bison on level 8 with Ryu, that was with Super Street Fighter 2.

They disabled the netplay feature because they somehow found out that it wasn't working... at all ?

Bad news : I got a serious problem on my PC, and I don't know what it is about. Basically I can't access the HD partition I made for my data, but still can do what I want in the partition with the system things. The PC doesn't start properly, I need to press a key to resume. It says "HD status BAD" or something similar. It wants to check the HD every time I start the PC, and finds hundreds of unreadable parts. It is very slow in using otherwise. FYI I have no anti-virus program installed, but went nowhere unknown tonight.

Please if someone can help me tomorrow... I'm clueless.

Until this is fixed (I hope it will be), all my PBEMs are on hold.

Here is a diagnostic disk which can test HDD (disque dur) and Memory.

Might be useful for you.

No need to diagnose anything: Your hard drive is dying!!!

You must BACK IT UP NOW.

If you can't back it up turn off your PC NOW!!!!

Essentially every time you turn it on there is a chance it will die forever. The next time it is used MUST be to remove the data you need (if it's not too late already)...

To back it up you will need a second hard drive. If you have one turn off your pc, put it in, reboot, then transfer all your data to it. If you don't have one you need to buy one because your current drive will die any moment.

If you're really really scared of what's inside you will need a friend who isn't or you will need to take your pc to a shop and get them to do it.
