This is the external HD that I just bought:
http://amzn.com/B004EL9WIC
The setup and file transfers have been great. Very happy with it. Except for the following. The thing is constantly clicking in an almost patterned cycle. Not necessarily when I’m writing to it, but when it’s supposed to be idle. I have a scheduled backup (Time Machine) set to occur only 1x per day, so it’s not like the system is constantly writing to it often. I’m not even using it for any file storage yet, so I’m not even really accessing it.
Here’s the sound: http://f.cl.ly/items/2w2y2U2S3z2O0K2d0G0Y/HD%20Clicking.mp3
Make sure your volume is up. The muffling noise is just from the movement near the mike, not from the drive itself.
The main reason I got this drive was for it’s reviews as being very quiet. Which it is, when it spins down. And when I’ve actually copied files to it, it is super quiet. It’s the idle, do nothing time that is so loud. I paid a decent amount for this and:
1. Don’t want it to die.
2. Don’t want to listen to the sound of a bizarro metronome whilst at my desk
So, I’m hoping someone will say, “Yes, that’s weird. You should definitely return it.” Or, “No that’s completely normal.” I doubt the latter is the case as I’ve had multiple external HDs in the past and none of them have done this.
Thanks.

Hey guys so I just finished grade 9 and my counselor near the end of the year asked me to leave and go to alternative school because of drugs (he couldn’t prove it, but rumors had started up – I was recovering from heavy drug use and stuff so ya). The alternative school I’m going to has only 22 students, and like 2 teachers and a couple staff. I know a couple people at this school but they’ve both gotten into smoking crack and I have just gotten off meth and I don’t want to go down this path again but I used to be friends with these dudes, and they’re super chill and lots of shared interests and all that but I’m honestly scared I’ll get into harsh drugs again and I’m at the point where if people around me are doing it, I will probably do it because I’ll remember and crave. Like I know this is a really stupid question but I’m gonna be in a confined, small area with old friends who do crack…And btw the last couple months I got into a lot of arguements with my other friends so like IDK what to do. I probably won’t be talking to anyone from my old school. Also at this particular school there are either gang affiliated (they come from a ghetto like part of town, they’re friends with gangsters) or these old crackhead friends. Any advice on dealing with these guys? Before they got kicked out of my old school they often crashed at my house because they were kicked out, and this one guy liked me and I’ve always liked him but if I go out with him it’ll get worse even more.
How do I deal with next year? I’ve just recieved the acceptance into the school and it IS the answer for my schooling and I am for sure going, I just need a bit of advice. Thanks.
PS. No need, to tell me to report them to smoking crack trust me it’s fine, I’ve known these guys for a while and it’s sort of a “drug/rock n roll community” that I’m included but don’t want to land face first into the gutter again…

Hi this is the lyrics to a song I’ve wrote could Past-Story play on words to pastry 😛 could you tell me what you think, thank you 🙂
Hear the voice inside your head,
Filling you with hatred filling you with dread,
Making you want to spend days in bed
No matter what anybody says
You believe it’s true
Affecting the way you spend
Every day of your life
I’m a man I need to face my demons
but I, myself don’t understand them
Maybe I should just dream on
You try and help yourself but nothing works
Always end up with the uneducated berks
You relate to about as much as Turks
But they won’t make me turn on the water works
Chorus.
Take the voices, decide what they say
Take the negative comments & put them at bay
Live life to the full until you become grey
Have the grandchildren around ‘Oh I Say!’
Flying away to somewhere new
Finding much better things to do
Allowing the problems to fade away
Seeing blue skies and not the grey
Wanting a path of which I’ll employ
Of which will make me laugh & also enjoy
An outcome not of a wasted attempt
An effort of which was well worth spent
Raise your profile let your personality unleash
Even if it only attracts a particular niche
Love yourself like you love your mates
Don’t let your low self-esteem produce fates
Chorus.
Your time has come but what have you done
Has your life just begone
Have you lived happily & long
Did you think you were right
When you were wrong?

Hi everyone,
I was just wondering if there is a website out there that lets people submit and create names for your business or brand? I am looking to create a new web / graphics design company in my area catering to chic website design for women, offering custom wedding invitations, website design for startups, premade templates available on site as well as business cards and logo’s. I want to make a name for myself using this niche as I would like to have people come to me knowing that I cater to females. The name would have to be chic, sassy and creative but also say what I do and will be doing.
Any ideas? I would really appreciate it! Thank you in advance!

I’ve heard from a friend who works with a guy who knows a guy that there’s a brand new Android tablet coming out at the start of September some time called the Andy Pad.
Obviously Google are working on quite a bit right now and there’s a whole new wave of Android technology hitting the market later this year.
Has anyone heard anything about the Andy Pad?? The website doesn’t say much. It’s really tempting me!!!!! I hate secrets!!!
