My name's Usman and I'm a download-a-holic

When I get torrenting I can't seem to stop and it is for that reason that eventually my computer's get buggered. It's a shame, but I'm a download-a-holic...
At the moment I'm downloading...........

I just realized that I could be admitting to committing something that some people MIGHT consider as-but not necessarily correctly- a crime, so in the interest of one day becoming a gazzillionaire...

At the moment I'm downloading software that is fully licensed as freeware and am not expected to pay a penny for it. I am NOT torrenting an animation program called... I don't know... Toon Boom, which has a standard retail price of around $900. I'm downloading something COMPLETELY different that works in EXACTLY the same way. It's called Spoon Groom...

Anyway, now with all that legal mumbo jumbo out of the way... I'm downloading Toon Boom (ah crap, I've said it now... too late...) 7.6 and it LOOKS so good! God I hope this isn't some wank-y virus because I'm REALLY looking forward to using my graphics tablet after months of... not using it........

Just got Microsoft Office yesterday. Works really well. Did a favor for a mate and went over his third year dissertation on Resveratrol to check for grammatical errors. Every other word had a squiggly line under it. Because most of them were long scientific words. But also because it's Abdul; his English sucks.

Now I know what resveratrol is, which was one up side... of doing someone... elses... homework........

Crap.

I've been had. Bastard...
Ok, so toon boom has finished downloading... Will it work???? Ah, I'm nervous! Here goes!!

...

It's extracting...31% 32% 33%....

69%

Sorry, just wanted to say...
OK! So, it's extracted. Now to see what monsters are lurking inside the folder....

Double click Toon Boom folder
>>Double click Toon Boom Animate v7.6_Setup
>>Click Setup
>> Read message warning that you are running low on disk space
>> Begrudgingly delete two episodes of Supernatural
>> Empty the recycle bin
>> Realize you just downloaded half a gig of Microsoft Office and could have deleted that instead of two episodes of Supernatural
>> Kick yourself
>>Click Install Toon Boom Animate in the Dialogue Box
>> Remember you WEREN'T EVEN GONNA INSTALL IT ON THIS COMPUTER, YOU WANTED TO INSTALL IT ON THE BIGGER, FASTER COMPUTER!!! FUCK! YOU COULD HAVE KEPT SUPERNATURAL!!!!!! #$!@%#$ %$#%$#%@$#%#%^%$&^&%!#$!@(^*$&*#$!

I'm to angry at myself to carry this blog post on anymore.

Good
Night.

  1. Next time don't download Adobe Master Collection that's worth over £2k.

  2. lol, it doesn't matter, the toon boom that I didn't download didn't work because it needed to be registered and I couldn't do it because it was weird...
