Nan De Ya Nen?!
07 February 2007
There isn't going to be much to this post. It's merely a repository for all the pent up anger I have from today. It all started when I thought to myself, "oh, wouldn't it be nice to update my firewall, ho-hum?". Little did I know I was about to screw up my day and give myself a coronary. All seemed well after the reboot, the new firewall was working well and my new bit torrent client was performing as expected. "Hmm", I thought to myself, "I'll go play some FFXI". "But what's this? It won't go to full screen mode. That's odd". I could log in OK, and everything else worked fine. I tried again several times but on each occasion it wouldn't get to full screen mode. I suspected the new firewall being the problem so I messed around with its settings so it'd allow full access for FFXI. That didn't have any effect. I then decided to try the file check on POL to see if the problem was with the game itself. What do you know? The file check won't work either. The whole situation was a right pain in the arse. I spent several hours after that trying to figure out what was wrong but gave up in the end out of frustration.
So here I am, I uninstalled the new firewall and went back to my old one. It's not helped at all though. My only resort now is to do a complete re-install of FFXI and see if that fixes it. If that doesn't work I'm severely screwed. I won't bother doing it until tomorrow, I can't be arsed right now. It's so god damn annoying.
PS. I'll be featuring artwork from Tony Taka over the next few posts. I love his style of drawing. The images he produces have such clean lines, just look at the girl in a kimono from the last post and the Lacrosse player in this one. They're simply beautiful to look at. The way the kimono girl has her leg up like that is purely captivating. Hey, I'm not a pervert! I just appreciate the female form...
