A Disposable Community

generation-z-a-disposable-community

Ten years ago, hard drives were sold with a warranty of 10 years or something like that. And they came in smaller capacities. Now they come in bigger capacities and with shorter warranties.

I bought a hard drive last October because I was worried about the somewhat clicking sound my other hard drive was making, and it housed my music. So I bought a new hard drive (because I can) and moved all my music there with the intention of organizing them and THEN burning them to DVDs. It had 1 month Advanced Warranty Replacement which meant that if it breaks in one month, I could get a replacement immediately, and the standard warranty of 1 year, which meant that if it breaks after the first month, I’ll have to wait another month to get a new one.

That clicking hard drive still works. The one I bought crashed.

Hard Drive Failure–Can I Save It?

rip_dearest_maxtor_and_x

Apparently, my Maxtor drive died. I’m still looking into ways to fix it, but at the moment, I’m declaring it dead. Along with my X drive.

I just bought X recently, about 2 weeks ago. It’s a 320Gb Seagate drive (PATA) and I planned to dedicate it to music. It’s an internal HDD inside an external case. So far it had about 200+ Gb of music already.

I’m going to write about what happened in case someone else has a better idea.

I mentioned that I’m also taking proofreading and editing a paper for someone. But I was too lazy to sit on my behind and I decided to do it on my laptop like I did with the first draft. I saved the draft on X because I set it as download default since that was what I’ve been downloading lately–catching up on music I missed for the past few months. And X was on share.

So I was trying to access the draft over WAN and it said the drive was inaccessible. I’ve been getting I/O Device errors before so I thought that that might be affecting it, so I moved my lazy behind to the desktop and checked what was happening. I tried accessing X and it kept saying that it was inaccessible. There was another error but I forgot what it was.

I figured that maybe a reboot would help, so I rebooted.

After the reboot… It said it was empty.

Teacher Resources for Filipinos

I have this big dream. It might sound a little too big, though, but I want to start a Teacher Resource website for Filipinos. In the wee hours of procrastinating my lesson plans and/or looking for what good activities I could use in my classes, all are resources for western classrooms.

The Filipino classroom is much more different. We have a quasi standard set curriculum for most schools in basic education. For example, in English, Music and Arts in high school, the first year focuses on Philippine literature, music and arts. In the second year, Afro-Asian. The third year focuses on Anglo-American or western, while the fourth year focuses on the world as a whole.

Well… What I’m saying is… You won’t really be able to find teacher resources on, say, Noli Me Tangere or Philippine History.
