What took you so long?

I'm sat here in the throes of technology.
Tis rather frustrating transferring files at the speed of butt.
I found an extra portable hard drive that I am going to use to back up the content on my laptop, as it's not backed up anywhere.
It's a Seagate FreeAgent and tis double cool.
It's got a capacity of 232GB, so not bad at all!
But when I checked what content was already on it, I saw that it was almost maxed out completely.
Yikes.
So I now have the task of cutting the files out the device and pasting them into the massive-capacity desktop.
The catch is that it's taking an AGE.
It has been taking about seven minutes on average to transfer only about 500MB worth of files at a time, and I'm going to have to deal with ones that are about 23GB in one go. :|
Currently, am transferring a file of 10GB and it says it's going to take 7 hours.
Please be false!!
These files I am dealing with are actually the complete contents of a custom-built Alienware laptop that was tricked-out like a movverlicker but had crashed.
We hacked the hard drives and extracted the files.
But here we are, dealing with these frustrating contents!
Oh dear, it says now 8 hours.........

Am trying to occupy myself during this daunting task by jamming to me iPod (which is still fucked and chooses what it wants to play most of the time) and have got me noise-cancelling Bose headphones on.
It offers some release of tension, as I despise technology playing up like it does so frequently.

In an effort to beautify my blog and to add some visual stimulation for my ghost readers, here are some photos of the tech bits I am currently a-using.
Apologies for the low resolution on some:

Seagate FreeAgent



Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones




Ancient runs-on-gasoline-has-no-colour-display-and-is-seldom-believed-to-exist iPod Third Generation




HP Media Center PC m7757c




HP w2207 LCD Display Screen




Logitech UltraVision Webcam (I don't actually have it on right now, but it's still there)




Woo! I am pleased to say that the transfer of 10GB is complete, and it didn't take 8 hours!
But my work here is not yet done...
Moving on to the next deliciously large file...
Today might be a day of random postings, as I have nowt much better to do but wait.
We shall see.
