Frack me! Oh, and more minis

Right, let's start with a rant. First, my external hard-drive is dead, no more power. Grrr. I had put there all the papers I had scanned for the past 4 years... and lots of pics and my lessons. Fortunately, my wife had a back-up for the papers, so nothing important is lost, but then. And a few hours ago, my desktop's Windows decided not to start, again, for the third time in less than a year... I'm currently using my wife's old laptop...I think it's because of a conflict between HP softwares and windows, but, this time, I should reboot everything, less than a month after having done so. FRACKKKKKKKKKKKKK. So, tomorrow morning, back to John Lewis to know what's wrong. I hope to get a refund and buy something else.

Anyway, enough of rant, we're here to talk about minis, right? Still painting my TYW army, I've now done the Schaumburg infantry regiment. Another Saxon unit, with very nice flags. The problem is, they switched sides after the peace of Prague of 1635, and subsequently should'nt fight alongside the French.... Bah, who cares anyway.






Bon, je vais finir par me facher sévère avec l'informatique. Il y a peu, mon disque dur externe a lâché, l'alim ayant grillé... Des années de paperasses, notamment des copies de papiers importants, ont disparu... Sans oublier tous mes cours et des images.... Heureusement, tout l'administratif est sur un second DD, celui de ma femme. Fait chier quand meme. Et pour en rajouter une couche, Windows sur mon PC HP refuse tout simplement de démarrer... Pour la troisième fois en moins d'un an. La seule solution, reformater... Ca commence a bien faire, surtout que le dernier formatage remonte à moins d'un mois... Je subodore une incompatibilite logiciele entre les softwares HP et Windows, mais, trop c'est trop. Demain, je retourne en boutique pour verifier si tout va bien, et si possible negocier un refund pour prendre une autre marque....Fait chier l'informatique... Je tape ce post sur le vieux portable de ma femme.

Bref, à part ça, mon armée française approche de sa conclusion. Voici aujourd'hui le régiment saxon Schaumburg. Je l'ai choisi uniquement pour la beauté des drapeaux, car historiquement je ne devrais pas l'utiliser. En effet, bien que Saxon, ce régiment est passé du côté impérial après la paix de Prague de 1635, se retrouvant ainsi ennemi de la France. Mais bon, pour le moment, j'en n'ai rien à foutre! Chui vener' et pis c'est tout, bordel.

    Good looking bunch, Seb. I really like the look of these attractive turncoats and their flags are super.

    Sorry to hear about your tech woes. Nothing sucks up a day like your hardward AND software going down.

    Bummer about your hard drive - I put very little faith in computers, although we all use and "need" them. A sort of love-hate relationship I suppose.

    Otherwise, fantastic unit - I've yet to venture into the period, but your work makes it very appealing.

    Best, Dean

    Great looking unit. Sorry about the PC, it sucks when that happens.

    You information on your external hard drive is probably still redeemable (if it's actually just a power issue). External hard drives are really just a normal (internal) hard drive inside an enclosure (that gives it power and a connect-ability to other computers).

    You could have anyone who is comfortable with computer hardware just pull the hard drive out of the enclosure and put it in your desktop to see if the info is still there...

    Nothing more frustrating and annoying than when technology lets you down; on the plus side that is a cracking unit you've done! Hope you get your refund tomorrow.

    Ta peinture est toujours aussi superbe.....
    l'informatique est une bénédiction et une malédiction.
    Si c'est juste l'alim qui a cramé, tes infos doivent être encore récupérables... il existe des boitiers vierges avec juste l'alim, tu replaces les "entrailles" de ton vieux DD dans le nouveau boitier et ça devrait repartir, c'est ce qui est arrivé pour moi.. donc tout espoir n'est pas perdu ..
