Day #4

[jadesfire]

It appears I'm writing a Criminal Minds/Numb3rs EPIC crossover. What is it with crossovers that makes them be so long, anyway? I've got some vague ideas bumping around in my head, but the story keeps trying to be in Charlie's POV, which would be fine if I actually knew the character. I'm not really more than a casual viewer of Numb3rs, and I've watched episodes from random seasons in a random order. Added to the fact that Five are always reapeating the same episode when I tune in (how do they know?), this could prove tricky.

So can anyone recommend "must see this" episodes for Charlie characterisation? I can hear his voice, I just don't know what to have him say, if that makes any kind of sense.

Anyway, enough of my blithering.

*glares* Why haven't more of you been over to the gen battle and written comment-fic? Or the fluff battle? Come on, folks. 4300 characters really isn't that many!

Today, I am awesome because I stayed awake through a whole course about serials AND I finally got a battery fitted to my watch, which has been dead for about 2 years. I've also managed to cross off a heathy chunk of stuff from my list, although I'm procrastinating terribly about the rest.

There's always tomorrow - I don't want to use up all my awesome all at once ;)

What about you guys? I've been very low-key-awesome today. Anyone done anything more exciting?

And I was going to suggest a way to get CBS shows over there early... but then I realized you have a Linux setup, and probably not a lot of HD space. *sad* Shall I beam them to you telepathically instead?

For Charlie Eppes eps, if you haven't caught the first few episodes of the show, I suggest those more than almost any other as a way to really get inside Charlie's brain. He has definitely grown as a character since then, but those seem to have all of the really fundamental points if you're wanting to crawl into his (very busy) headspace, IMO. Let me look over an episode guide and I'll give you a more exact list. Definitely the pilot, though, and the second or third.

*shifts gulitily* I've been trying to install Windows XP on my mini-laptop? Okay, maybe that was just last night. Actually, I've been consumed by the FIC THAT ATE MY BRAIN+SOUL+OTHER VITAL PARTS, and while I do probably need a break from it, I'm afraid if I do I won't come back and finish it.

Let's see... my awesome for today... I have (digitally) hand made e-cards for one person on my f-list, discovered a fun audio trick at work, and made plans to go to Altex as soon as I get home today to pick up provisions to conquer my OS installation issues. (Hold me. I'm going to break my baby.)

*tilts head* I have 80GB. Is that not much? I also have VLC thanks to my Linux-fu. I think that can probably even play telepathic files ;)

That's great, thanks. I'll probably go with them, the first few of S5 and the latest 1 or 2. That should give me enough!

I know what you mean about being scared to leave a fic. If I wander off halfway through, it normally takes me a year or so to come back. Apparently my brain only has the settings 'all' or 'nothing'.

That's pretty awesome! I've considered installing Windows, but figured it'd be too much fuss. Now I have VLC, I'm a very happy clam :D

Hrm... *does math* Yes, it should be enough. And VLC is definitely greatness.

And, I might have an... *dramatic pause* idea. If you're feeling brave.

It's not as much fuss because I have backup machine(s), so I won't be computerless if I break something. (Just sad.) Of course, I haven't gotten to the actual installation process... so we'll see if I feel the same in the morning ;)

I've actually got 120GB (I had to look it up *facepalm*) and...I think I'm feeling brave... And curious ;)

My Acer occasionally freezes on start-up, but it always unfreezes again, and LinpusLite is a nice little operating system, so I think I'm going to stick with it for now. It's based on Fedora, so most things are compatible with it and I've got most of what I need now. Hope the conversion has been successful!

The conversion was successful! \o/ And it works like... well, it works, and properly. I didn't realize how badly SUSE was performing until I managed to load XP last night. Although I do feel like I lost some geek points because I went to Windows after all.

From what I've read, LinpusLite sounds like a fairly stable distribution, and is perfect for the functions of what netbooks should do -- surf and scribble ;)
