blu ray drive question
Aug. 21st, 2025 07:59 amaurumcalendulaAre there particular signs to look out for w/r/t an blu ray drive starting to fail?
I was importing a CD into iTunes last night and my external blu ray drive kept kinda getting stuck on some of the songs (some later imported successfully after I unplugged the drive and checking the connections plus restarting my PC seemed to resolve the issues with the last one).
I'm not sure if the problem was with the CD (it was from a historical society, so I'm not sure if it was burned or pressed), the software I was using, the USB connection, the drive, or something else, but now I'm feeling twitchy about the drive.

I just saw today that first few volumes of Rosmei's baihe titles (volume 1 of The Creater's Grace and volumes 1 and 2 of At The World's Mercy have their preorders scheduled for October!
I also continue to be unreasonably excited about The Beauty's Blade, despite the release date being ~2 months away.

Long Weekend
Aug. 19th, 2025 11:26 pmsettiaiWelp. I've been posting about this under lock, but let's make a public one too. My younger brother and his wife were supposed to be visiting me this week (with them arriving today), but those plans were cancelled at the last minute due to a combination of several reasons.
I'd already asked off work for the rest of the week, and I'm not taking it back. I'm just going to take a five day weekend and call it a day. Which, you know, I could use the break from work, so it's not a bad thing. And, hey, this way I won't have to worry about a lack of spoons when I have to go back to work like I did when I was off for the Fourth of July and playing D&D all weekend.
Sadly, I don't have much in the way of extra money right now, so I can't do anything fun while I'm off work. I'm fairly stocked on groceries at least, so I won't have to worry about that. I'll take what I can get on that front.
Right now, my plans are to basically switch between playing video games, reading fanfiction, and writing fanfiction (specifically for Black Emporium and the Dragon Age Reverse Bang) for the next five days. We'll see if that changes, but that's what I'm aiming for right now at least.
