    shhhhhhhhhhhh just breaking the site again don't mind me

    very, very, very experimental fic continues its slow progress as the deadline for bicyclette's sci-fi contest draws near. these chapters are about on-par with what if in terms of length, but oh boy have they been an interesting experience to write.

    hey hey btw i've got a (couple of) public minecraft server(s)!

    yeah so anyway here is my webbed site lol. there's an MC Classic server for building whatever, and an MC Beta 1.7.3 server for playing survival. I might eventually also put up a modern vanilla server as well, though given how I'm hosting a bunch of servers already for friends and a couple of discord servers, idk if the little slab of a PC I'm using to host 'em all would be able to manage lol.

    summer break is almost here :V

    basically got one week left lol. got an experimental fic in the works that's a sort-of direct sequel picking off right where Splintershard ended. no prior reading is necessary.

    MAN it's been a while since I've toyed with writing styles.

Oh boy! · 4:37am Nov 3rd, 2018

So, for starters, Windows 2000 seems to be much more stable with Nvidia drivers than Windows XP was.

I'm currently installing the unofficial Windows 2000 update rollup 2 pack, which installs every update to the OS ever released until the end of support.

Secondly, once that's done I'm gonna install the unofficial Windows 2000 kernel update that basically spoofs programs and drivers into thinking it's Windows XP, in order to get both Google Chrome 34 and a wifi driver installed from the XP drive that was formerly in the computer.

Also, I've temporarily replaced the DVD-ROM drive that came in the computer with a much faster DVD-RW drive from LG just for the sake of my sanity when installing things from disk. Once everything's installed though, I'm swapping the drives back. I've already got working USB as well, so at the moment my main concerns are internet connectivity and program compatibility.

Also, I left the floppy disk with the ethernet drivers in my shed, and it's freezing outside at the moment, so wired networking probably won't be coming around until tomorrow.

EDIT: Finished all updates with no problem. I'm now installing the kernel update spoofer thingy, which requires IE6 to be installed because it provides some of the updated files it needs to use.
