inricycled B is just about done.
...and i've had to mix this up a bit for a few reasons. here's the updated list up to this point:
***inri/young phase***
inri001 - first cassette demo (2xlp) [1996]
inri002 - second cassette demo (lp) [1997]
inri003/jam001 - inricycled A (lp) [1997]
inri004/jam002 - inrisampled (ep) [1997]
inri005/jam003 - inri (lp) [1998]
inri006 - eat my fuck (ep) [1998]
inri007/jam004 - inriched (lp) [1999]
inri008/jam005 - inrijected (ep) [1999]
inri009/jam006 - inrimixed (ep) [1999]
inri010/jam007 - inricycled B (ep) [1999]
inri011 - gene-o's (single) [1999]
inri012/jam008 - pop music (single) [1999]
inri013/jam009 - warning (ep) [1999]
inri014/jam010 - liquify (ep/single) [1999]
inri015/jam011 - inrimake (lp) [1999]
inri016/jam012 - inridiculous (lp) [1999]
inri017/jam013 - book it! (single) [1999]
***end of inri/young phase***
***beginning of intermediate phase***
inri018/jam014 - deny everything [2000]
inri019/jam015 - accept nothing [2000]
i'll probably also splice off a single for 'ignorance is bliss'. i have ten cd-rs of deny everything to sort through. it could be a while. but the inri phase is now FINAL.

flashback.
"you know, if you're really not interested then you could always drop out."
"no, actually, i can't."
"parents?"
"sort of. not really. it's either school or work, and i can't find a job so i'm stuck at university until...."
"....well, if your interest level doesn't pick up..."
"...actually, i'm hoping i'll finally get a call back from one of the local coffee shops, soon."
*pause*
"who is paying for this?"
"the state, mostly."
"do you think that's..."
"i told you what my options are. right now, it reduces to school or homelessness. i'd rather be in a government training program for something working class than solving algebraic equations because it's about the only thing i can find in this place that i don't think is absolute bullshit. take it up with the government. it's their policies that put a massive focus on education."
"yeah. i see what you mean. i've just never seen anything like this, or at least anybody so honest about it."
"it's right out of a kafka novel. but if things don't change, i think it might become normal. university is quickly becoming the place that apathetic young people are forced to go to when they're not able to find a job, rather than a place people go to to advance their goals and ambitions. it's on the brink of becoming a form of social welfare. that kind of dystopia serves nobody."
"you won't reconsider?"
"i have no future here."
"ok"
*end phone call from academic adviser*
i'm sort of a space cadet. that just got thrown back at me while splicing some wave files.

i singled that pic out for a reason. yikes. ahahahaha...
anyways, the inri phase (and related playlists) is now completely constructed on youtube. there are a few genre-specific playlists (jazz/prog, song-oriented, noise, ambient) as well as a full playlist of all uploaded tracks and also one that starts off the beginning of the next phase, which i'm calling a transitional phase (from kiddie phase into serious phase).
i'm sort of struck by how productive and exploratory '99 was for me. the transitional bleed in is two hours, all from '99. and it's about a quarter of what i finished that year.
timed out near 80. ugh. i'm only going to try it one more time before i give a reinstall a try.
....and now it just rebooted, so here comes an attempt at a reinstall....
i don't want to delete the partition yet. it would be nice to recover my open tabs. yeah. lol. well, it would. i don't see why a reinstall would wipe them out...

on
the other hand, it just jumped very quickly through 30,000 segments - a
quarter of the partition. it went from 50% to 75% in a flash. so, it
may still balance out. and 5% of the partition is still less than 1% of
the drive....
(i'm also making the error of attaching file segments to physical segments, which i know is an error, but can't really be applied like that)
which is to say i'm talking about the percentage of the mft, rather than the percentage of the disc. i'll probably keep doing that. intuition. but knowing that 5-10% of the file records are unreadable doesn't *actually* tell me how much of the disc is "bad". and knowing this is a drive with a windows os, office and other programs with lots of little files means it really honestly might not be as bad as it looks. i mean, it could be 5000 corrupt 10K files. no, it could. an optimistic projection, but it could.
...and that's why we run the utilities.

i
don't know whether it's normal or not, but it's a little relieving to
realize that 3% means 30%, 4% means 40%, etc. seems like a bug in the
program.
so, i'm at a little over 40% after 18 hours, indicating it should be done by this time tomorrow.
well, the first pass anyways.
of the first partition. i'm really hoping i don't need to do this for the second partition. it's roughly 10x the size. yeah. but size isn't the only factor. in fact, i'll try a reinstall before i do it. i'm kind of still hoping it's just the boot sector.
it's kind of got me wondering if i should defrag the fucker from time to time. the conventional wisdom is not to defrag large drives. but is a 50 gb partition that big?
there were a lot of errors at the front of the mft, but now i'm going 10-20K sectors between problems.
see, it never told me it couldn't find a hard drive, or there wasn't an os. the hard drive test failed, but that's not the same thing as "no hd" or "no os". it bootstrapped itself into a 100 MB startup utility partition - on the hd. yet, it couldn't find the boot database thing (whatever it is now, i should know this, i went over it in vista support training, but in practice all i ever had to tell anybody was to run the utility, which i can't get to start because i can't read the partition). that says dead partition, meaning dead database shit, not dead disc.
i just can't parse randomly dying drives. but i've seen mbrs evaporate.
it hit a rough spot around when i fell asleep this afternoon and may even still be in it. its still hard to say if its salvageable, but the damage report is going to be bad. upwards of 5% of the partition, even, maybe.
it's a big drive. as mentioned, i could halve it and still have too much space. but that indicates imminent mass failure.
