Would you still prefer a Mac over a Surface, Prue?
With me having all these issues with my creativity software, I just want something that works well without too much messing around. And the only computer that seems to do that well is a Mac. It's just that everything Apple is expensive.
I may have said negative things about Apple before, but with all the issues with my media production PC, a Mac is sounding a bit more appealing to me. I already have a Mac Mini, but I need to find the software that will work with it, along with securing the money needed to buy that software.

Back from vacation, back to work tomorrow. I wish I have a longer holiday (preferably one that lasts 3 months), but ah, well. Such is the working life.

ASIO4ALL, you are a lifesaver. 
I discovered a serious bug with my Adobe Suite install program. If launched on XP, After Effects will not install properly because DirectX setup is automatically launched, even if you have the latest DirectX libraries. This leads to an automatic reboot before setup completes. Though AE appears to be installed, it doesn't follow the activation of the other programs, prompting you to enter the serial number, which doesn't work for some reason. Uninstall AE then right? Wrong.... the setup program prevents you from removing or reinstalling AE. :/
This time around, I did two things. I created a system restore point, and when DirectX setup appeared, I terminated it with Task Manager. I will have to re-install it myself later. If AE doesn't work though, I can just launch a system restore and re-install without AE.

Exams over, waiting for result. Will have internship for next semester.
Another 2-month of empty days has started hahaha. Dunno what to do. Well, maybe I'll draw some more. It's been a while since the last time I drew something.

I don't draw much, but I do have Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator ready if I acquire a tablet and if I learn how to draw well.

Photoshop, but recently I've been transitioning to Manga Studio 5
This is what I made with Photoshop:

And this is the same character, drawn with MS5:

Someday I'll learn to draw full body.

Hmmm... no wonder Sonic Dash has occasional lag with Hazel. The app is heavy on the RAM, clocking in at around 250MB!
A quad core tablet could help with the lag, but most tablets I have seen still only have 1GB RAM, just like Hazel.

If an A10 with a R7 can do that, then a FX with a R9....
Yeah, maybe it just needs new drivers.

Well, I found a brand new 3DS game at the local Shopko for only $4.98... Batman Arkham Origins: Blackgate.
The game gets some decent reviews across the board, and I wouldn't normally get a Batman game. But for such a low price, how could I pass up? 
I wish it was AC New Leaf though.
