Shenske's Projects & Thoughts

[ShoothimNow]

I only asked shenske for his thoughts, not to make a cassette based cover thread, completely hijacked, continue asking your questions on the cassette cases themselves in the original thread posted here.  Again, I was asking shenske specifically a question lol

[Anubis]

Sorry about that, didn't want annoy.
I'll post it again in the correct topic.

Back to "my thoughts" ...haha. Well anyways I have some excellent news. As some of you may know I work for a very large video game retailer and they decided to send me to a Sony conference down in Denver. I got a card from the Sony representative at the conference and they told me I'd get a special reward for entering it online. I  entered it and filled out a bunch of surveys and they decided to give me A FREE PS3!!! I thought my reward was going to be a free copy of Sports Champions or something. I wasn't expecting anything this awesome!!!

 I got this news a few days ago but I'm still in a good mood from the news and thought I'd share that with you guys. I'm pretty stoked I don't have to shell out another $300 to get myself another PS3.

Yeah, I'd hate to post nonsense that is irrelevant to the forum thread...

It said a 120gb model so I'm assuming it's either a refurbished model or a new one they have left over from when they switched from 120gb to 160gb for the $300 model.

... and they decided to give me A FREE PS3!!! ...

Just read this, you lucky boy.

My little brother's friend works for local super market.
His responcibilty among other things is game department, and he get to participate at parties Microsoft holds every two months or so (can't tell what goes on there, as kids read these boards too...  ).
He also gets employee diascount of 25% from the store, and sometimes let's me use it too.
So no freebies for me but still.

scratch that shenske, I just deleted everything from my website, so don't even waste your time doing it.  Your probably one of the coolest guys I never met, and you have some sweet ass photoshop skills.  Wish you the best dude.  I just gotta get away from this website

[shenske]

Well this is fun ... my only computer i have may have crashed. It happens right before I had to go to work so I was unable to check anything on it. Hopefully everything is recoverable and I dont have to get a new computer. I may be out of covermaking for a while if I don't have an operable computer. Even if my hdd is completely gone I won't leave the project though

[shenske]

Well it seems my worse fear may have come true. It would appear that the cover making machine (my laptop) is officially dead. This is absolutely terrible new for me since I by no means have the funds currently to get another computer. Every cover I have ever made was on that computer. Any of the new covers I previewed in the forums but is not on the site is also on there. I don't know if the files on my hdd are recoverable or not but I won't be able to do anything with them even if they are fine.

It's a little depressing that I can't contribute to the site not because of lack of time but because I don't have the tools to do so. I don't know what to do currently and it may be a LONG time before I can get back in the game here. I really don't want to stop making cover (in fact it's driving me crazy not doing it) but I don't have a whole lot of options right now. If only I could covers on my iPhone ... well that wold be a pain in the ass but I would do it if i had to.

I have no intention of leaving the forums but I won't have the same type of presence here

I hate saying it, but make backups regularly. Please.

[Misanthroat]

Shenske, you are the last person on this site who should be apologizing for lack of created content.

I would never have gotten into SNES Vertical covers if it were not for your templates.
I'm sure a lot of people here would agree that we wouldn't have as much as we do if not for your contributions.

you can probably get an external hard drive enclosure for your laptops hard drive as long as it is the laptop itself that crashed and not the Hdd.  I did the same for my father in-law...then I erased everything and now have a 250gb ps3 as opposed to the original 80gb

 Try for the external enclosure.  Less than 10 bucks off eBay. Then its just a matter of attaching it to a pc that does work.

It's really not that easy. I have been trying to save up for an external drive for years now but something always comes up that drains my money. I have been through 4 cars in the past 6months alone. I can't afford to get a nicer one so they don't last very long (I need a car for work so I don't have time to wait and save up). I can't backup my files through online storage because the cover folder I have is 50gb+ alone.

When the time comes that I do get another computer and assuming my files are fine I will get an enclosure for the drive an it will become my new external drive.

I'll get it all figured out, it'll just take a while ...
