  1. liking Stray Dogs too.

    also really upbeat about Hero Academy. BGM keeps giving me goosebumps.

    heck, maybe HA will come out on top of Kabeneri in my season fave list, but let's see what Kabeneri's delayed 2nd episode will bring.

    haven't seen many posts about last season animes. usually, folks have a quick wrap up and reco list. i'm still finishing on my backlog from last season.

  2. thanks guys, for clarifying.

    gah, this is driving me nuts.

    it's not just about finding duplicates, i was hoping for a consolidated library view so i can search for the photos i need and then connect the right drive so i can access it.

    at the moment, it takes me a ridiculous amount of time connecting external drives one by one looking for the photos i need.

    guess i'll just get another NAS box to consolidate all my photos. or would it be better to just replace my 4-bay NAS with a 6-bay one?

    say, if i connect all my external drives (using USB hubs) to my laptop and create a Library, is there way to export the library's file list and directory structure to an excel file?

  3. i'm trying to wrap my head around "Libraries" in Windows 7. got a couple of questions:

    1) when i add a location in a library, say, a folder in an external drive, will i still be able to see the files in Library view even when the external drive is not connected?

    2) if i delete a file in a library location that is currently offline (ie. external drive not connected), will it delete the file from the external drive once i re-connect it?

    i have a ton of photos scattered across several external drives and pretty sure there are a lot of duplicates. so i want to include the folder locations in these external drives into one Library so i can sort by filename/date and identify to duplicates. i am hoping that once i find the duplicates, i can delete them from the Library and Windows will "sync" that delete action to the respective external drives when i reconnect them.

    appreciate any tips. thanks.

  4. thanks. guess i'll take the update option then.

    was considering a clean install, but i don't have the install discs of the programs. i can probably download the install packages but i'm not sure if my license keys will still work since they are probably tied to my Win7 license, which presumably will be altered once it's replaced by Win10, so said programs might not recognize it.

    in any case, i'll probably just be hanging on to this laptop for another year or so.

  5. my Synology update issues finally got sorted. turns out my NAS was already at 98% capacity and was screwing up the processes.

    i bought an external drive to offload some photos i haven't sorted through yet. down to 95%, the update went smoothly.

    with extra space on my new external drive, i was thinking of backing up my laptop files to it so i can migrate to Windows 10, since it's been bugging me like hell.

    i just have a question: what happens to the OEM programs (eg. Photoshop and Lightroom) that came with my laptop? will they be retained or wiped?

  6. the toy stores in Bukit Bintang are in BB Plaza/Sungei Wang and one in Low Yat Plaza.

    my recollection of XL Shop in Mid Valley is hazy, but i do recall not spending a lot of time there, and much more browsing in their Times Square branch and the 3 or 4 other stores in that mall.

    seems you had great time, mickyg. good on you!

    if there's a next time, try to hit Melaka. the chicken rice balls are sumptuous. have to line up though, even at odd hours.

    shame, about the haze during your trip. unfortunately, it's an annual thing around this time of year and a big regional political/environmental issue. i have had to don face masks a few times when i was living in Singapore owing to forest fires in Indonesia. Beijing's got it much worse though from their coal power plants and factories. it's a daily thing, not a seasonal one.

    KL driving is still relatively tame compared to Bangalore. a colleague of mine offered to show me around after a conference. while we were stuck in traffic, i asked him what happened to his passenger side mirror. he said they were stolen the previous day but that it was no big deal since no one in Bangalore uses side mirrors anyway! he was only half-joking.

  7. need a little help. well maybe a lot.

    the other day my Synology NAS updated itself to DSM 6.0

    i only noticed because suddenly i couldn't stream to my TV and so i checked the Package Center and found out that a bunch of them needed updating, like Media Server and Video Station.

    when i initiate the update, the download starts, as well as the installing phase, and then it stops with a message : This package requires you to enable "pgsql".

    i have no idea what that means nor do i have any recollection of enabling it in the first place. tried googling but what i found mentions stuff like CLI, telnet, etc. which i cannot do.

    i asked Synology but so far no reply. anyone got any ideas on how to fix? hopefully a simple solution?

    thanks
