Summer internship in Liverpool as a concept artist for a gaming company.
AWESOME, Y/Y?
I'm super excited. @_@
They don't pay that much so I'll have to support myself for the most part, but whee, work experience! Now I have to go buy a laptop. XD;;; So I won't be completely cut off from THE INTERBUTTS AND YOU while being gone. (This should totally be a book, ~*The Interbutts and You*~)

So, I know I'm an idiot for asking this, but is it easy to de-install Vista on a laptop and install Windows XP?
I ask this because all laptops you can get here have Vista pre-installed. T_T
I want XP. I could get XP Professional really cheap from my university, so if it worked that easily, that would be great. @_@ I dunno, maybe I'm just too suspicious of those sellers. XDDD I always think they build in barriers or something.

ANYWAY!
omg.
Like.
I have to find a room and flight and bus tickets and public transport and bank account and and and

Have any of you guys been to Liverpool? :0 HOW IS IT? I've never been there. Lolomg.

To celebrate Liverpool-ness, have some Beatles:

"Obladi Oblada"

♥

Also, I keep writing "Liverpoop". I'm sure that's a good omen. XD

Oh, not sure yet at all. I'd be finishing my BA at the same time and need to find a programme that is compatible with what I'm doing now. Recently found something in Norwich.

That sounds like an exciting opportunity! I hope you get to do interesting things there. :)

I don't know anything about Vista but I don't see why you couldn't downgrade to XP.

Cool, congrats!!
I'm thinking about doing an internship in London/Liverpool as well (for obvious reasons, I'd prefer London, but this internship-lady told me, the Liverpool-offers were much much better), in case this exchange-semester thing doesn't work.

So yeah, buy a laptop, keep me updated!! :)

STEAKSAUCE!!!!!
Awesome news, home-fry! I've just sent off my app with cv and all to Platoon in Berlin, see how that goes. But you do know who's gonna visit me if it works out once she's back from Beatle town, eh? I need somebody who knows their shit to back me up in Berlin.
'Till now all my elaborate social plans are: hang out at the Kulturkaufhaus as much as friggin' possible, yo!

And, funny you should mention game design: I was thinking of applying to a tiny little firm for game design in Berlin:http://www.kunst-stoff.de/
'Yknow, just for some concept fucking-around. You and I both know I'm completely useless when it comes to TEH COMPUUTERZZZZ

Whatcha think? Send me an owl. A vicious one.

WOOHOOO, LEELURS IS TAKING OVER LIVERPOOL! Remember to bring the cheescake for phase one of teh world-domination scheme.

Ich sag dir mal was. XDDD Da hatte ich mich auch beworben! Sie waren auch erst voll begeistert, super Bewerbung trallala, wir haben ganz viele Aufgaben für dich, und DANN!
Kommt 'ne Mail von wegen sie haben keine Kapazitäten für Praktikanten und so. XDDD Dabei waren sie echt enthusiastisch vorher. Ich dachte nur ich warn dich mal. 8D;;;

ABER VIEL GLÜCK BEI PLATOON 8DDD DAS WIRD SCHON. Und überhaupt Berlin ist toll.

Meine sozialen Pläne: Mich von 1000 Freunden besuchen lassen und die Uni ignorieren bis auf Weiteres. XD

Mit konfliktlösung haben die's also auch nicht so XD

Hab auch mal empiredesign und the design conspiracy in london angeschrieben (jahaaaaa .. as if. :)). Und das Amt für Gestaltung in Berlin.

Mal guck'n, ne? Ich hab irgendwie ein gutes Gefühl für Platoon. Da lerne ich zwar rein grafisch nciht so viel, sondern mehr fürs Leben, aber Grafik is ja eh eher autodidaktisch.

Maybe you should get a MAC? I just checked out Dell, but they don't seem to have a XP option, you can just choose between different Vista systems.

Soooooo 3 Monate ca. XDDD

Ja, Dell hat bestimmt auch 'nen Vertrag mit denen. D8 Vielleicht lass ich mir auch einfach einen Laptop von denen zusammenbauen, die meinen PC gebaut haben. XDD Mit dem bin ich echt zufrieden. Oder von dem Typen, der den Laptop für meine Eltern gebaut hat XDD

BAAAAAH wie geil. internship in england, du GLÜCKSKEKS. wenn ich genug mumm hätte würde ich das auch super gerne machen. egal wofür, irgendwas medien technisches oder so xD whatever. hauptsache england, lol.

naja dann VIEL SPAß, das wird bestimmt super :D

allerdings glaub ich nicht, dass du einen laptop von vista auf xp 'downgraden' kannst. von wegen falscher chipsatz oder so, hatte da auch mal nach gegoogelt, bevor ich mir nen pc gekauft hatte mit vista drauf. glaub das geht nicht, außer der chip würde xp understützen unterstützen (lmao UNDERSTÜTZEN) aber DA BIN ICH ÜBERFRAGT WELCHER DAS KANN UND SO XD mussukukken.

Jaaa, das hatte ich mir nämlich fast gedacht. D8 Wär ja ZU einfach. Manchmal steht es ja dabei, dass man auf XP Prof downgraden kann, aber das ist nur bei so superteuren Office!Rechnern. Und bei Laptops schonmal gar nicht. XDDD Mist. Da muss ich mir wohl wirklich customly einen bauen lassen *woe*

typische geldmache allerdings. so vom logischen her würd man ja denken, dass von nem aufwändigeren programm auf ein weniger aufwändigeres zu wechseln einfach & möglich wäre... aber nee xD;

ODER du findest einen xp laptop auf ebay. aber dann is datt dingen bestimmt gebraucht und man weiß ja nie was man kriegt...

Well, from my experience, it highly depends on the computer. Some computers will allow you to switch Operating Systems, some won't. So you'll have to research on that, but with most if not all, you can set up a partition (block off a part of your hard drive) to run XP on top of Vista, so that Vista is kind of "minimized" in a way, and you'll be using XP. :3

Aaaah thanks. I'm afraid most won't be able to switch systems. D8 Those that say you can downgrade are super expensive ones for official office use or something. I would want XP on the whole thing and not only a partition, so I guess I'm gonna have a custom one built. XDD Thanks!
