Topic: what will you be doing tonight

Sergio Parisse is one of the best players in the world, in my opinion.

He is an Italian- Argentinian, both parents from L'Aquila but emigrated there, he was born in La Plata and grew up there, xatopave should be happy

I've heard there's a black hole in France that sucks Argentinian rugby players.

You really need to put an "in" between "sucks" and "Argentinian". Otherwise, my mind will just stay in the gutter..

   LOL!

even the new pope is Argentinian with Italian origin...

[xtopave]

I was watching the TV when the Cardinal was making the announcement and I thought "Did he say Bergoglio?!!" and half a second later the newsman went "Did he say Bergoglio?!!". Here nobody saw this coming.

I was watching too, our tv showed only that, never heard about him before.
My mother who's very religious call me twice and she is happy because his parents were Italian from Piemonte and he studied in Italy (she didn't want a black Pope...). Hope he can help Argentina and South America, but he is a little too old, don't you think?

I surely hope someone can.   

He looks in good shape for 76 yrs. old.

Tonight i'm watching a documentary on Tigers one particular Tiger though which was followed around on and off for 10 or more years.
Her name is Machli which means Fish where she comes from.

It's been a bad computer day. After messing with Xubuntu and Transmission I booted up Win8 again and seem to have permanently lost ~1/3 of the files on an NTFS drive I use for seeding and that is very bad. I am willing to assume it's a PEBKAC error, but I still don't know how it happened or how to fix it (I haven't recovered files in a long time, so I have no idea how I did it back then. All I remember is that it wasn't "fun")

I will be banging my head against a wall trying to figure out what exactly went wrong, how to fix it, and how to recover what I lost.

That sucks.  I'm sorry to hear about it, as I've lost several hard drives in the past few years.  Always gives you a heart attack with worry and even when you retrieve files, the order and location of them is another pain.  The whole thing is a time sink.

It probably won't be fun this time either. I hope you can figure it out without wasting too much time.

Did you access the NTFS partition from Xubuntu?  ntfs3g is a good driver for accessing NTFS from Linux, but it's not perfect.

[SACPOP]

Yep. I had no problem doing that with CrunchBang/Transmission, but I wanted to try Xubuntu again and what ever I did, I did it wrong and it had unfortunate results.

So far I have had no problems recovering files, but the HUGE problem is that the recovered file names are not accurate, so I really have no idea WTF files I am actually recovering until I listen to them (It's mainly WCD/WFM) and most of the songs do not correspond to the listed file names or they are corrupted beyond repair.

In all honesty, I think my big mistake was rushing the initial repair attempt. When I booted in Win8 it reported the drive as unreadable, so instead of rebooting into Xubuntu and working from there, I just let Windows do its own repair thing and that may have just made matters worse.
