So yeah, got my hands on a lappy for backups but 1) I have no charger for it 2) I first gotta clean it before I am going to run it 24/7 because it's got like its own mass in dust inside it. I'm not going to take a risk of a fire (dust is pretty flammable and fire loves plastic and the battery has lithium in it, if I get a fire I'm totally super screwed).
Since it's a laptop from 1998-2000 do you think they still make chargers for that kind of laptop? And yeah normally a laptop cannot run 24/7 unless you mod it to be heavily cooled, so you might have to either monitor it or sometime turn it off. What I notice is that when people use their laptop a lot, especially for gaming or intensive tasks, it usually lasts less than 2 years, although most of the time it's the LCD or hard drive that die first.

I have the same laptop and i also lost my charger, but my father happened to have a charger that worked, so i guess its a standard.
Also yeah, i've "gamed" on it, and indeed the hdd is broken now

. Maybe it can run linux pendrive some day but i dont really have a use for it.

The Acer Aspire One is not from 1998

It's a 2006 laptop but it's super cty. The charger I have for my laptop fits, it's just that I need the charger all the time for my own laptop at school

Aah ok, because you said it was old so I thought you meant like a Pentium or Pentium II

aetios · January 19, 2015, 09:49:05 AM

OmnomIRC has been replaced with WalrusIRC. All smileys are still missing, though.

I also added extra links below the Welcome text on the forums.

The absence of am I smilies is a good tradeoff for the loading speed which is now dramatically increased. Nice job!

Dream of Omnimaga · January 21, 2015, 06:28:56 AM

Indeed. At least it's almost instant now. I kept a copy of http://codewalr.us/Themes/CodeWalrus/images/omnomloading.png in case, though

Make it your wallpaper if you need to make screencasts!

Dream of Omnimaga · January 21, 2015, 07:57:19 AM

Erm I am confused about what wallpapers have to do with my post

Duke "Tape" Eiyeron · January 21, 2015, 08:16:54 AM

Make the loading image your wallpaper.

Dream of Omnimaga · January 21, 2015, 09:00:41 AM

Erm, nope

(That reminds me, we need a post your desktop thread)

(Do you want me to show my W8 desktop? D:)

Yeah I'm having the scrolling problem on FX on W8.1 too...

As long as it doesn't look like this

Also I need to ask if aeTIos have setup the backups yet. IIRC he needed to clean his old PC before setting them up, but I forgot where he was at now.
