So Thanksgiving break came and went and I can say one good thing came out of it. After much goading and a little monetary persuasion from everyone else, my dad finally decided it was time to upgrade to a nice, big honking HDTV. Taking advantage of a fairly nice Circuit City Black Friday sale, we [...]
A few months ago I decided to start using the Zune software as a way to manage my music library and automatically download the latest podcasts. Now I chose it over iTunes mainly for looks. Sure doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of iTunes, but at least it doesn’t have that gorram [...]
Sad news in my world of technology. After three years of intense work, my monitor has died. She was a nice gal with what was looking to have been a great life but sadly it was cut short probably due to too much traveling. Oh how I will miss you, Ms. Viewsonic VX922. How I [...]
Looks like my parts are all deciding to go kaput on me all at once. First I start having monitor troubles either from my mobo or my video card and now my main hard drive just died. At least it wasn’t one of my data drives with all my stuff on it. But still it [...]
Been thinking about getting a new keyboard and mouse set for a while now. My current set is what I got the first time I built a computer almost five years ago. I’ve got a Saitek Eclipse and a Logitech MX510 optical mouse. Now there isn’t anything wrong with them I’d just like a change [...]
Heya guys! S’been a good while since I posted anything half-way worth sharing. Not really anything new happening around these parts unfortunately.
School’s school. Most of my classes are going good…although trig could be better. I’ve been hitting it off pretty well with a few folks from my chemistry class/lab. You might say it’s a class [...]
Well whaddya know? Google’s released a beta version of their new web-browser called Chrome. It’s a pretty minimalistic browser. No menu bars up on top as is in Opera or FF/Mozilla/Netscape and IE. I just installed it and it ain’t entirely too shabby. It takes a little getting used to though. A lot of people [...]
I sure could go for a good game of Guild Wars right about now. I’ve got a bloody four-hour break between two classes on Thursdays…and it’s agonizingly boring. -.-; I’m sitting here in a lab in the tech hall trying to keep myself occupied until 1:00 (currently 11:04 AM). Thankfully, these machines have Photoshop and [...]
In my Dreamcasting endeavors, I’ve learnt quite a good bit about how to obtain and burn DC games…however, I’m afraid I’ll have to give it up. Just can’t seem to get anything downloaded. All the sites I’ve found that have these games for download use direct non-torrent downloads, and wouldn’t you know that none of [...]
Yesterday, this friend of the family was going for a job interview and my mom offered to watch her kids for her while she was gone. Well, her oldest son, Grayson (8 years old) came down here and pretty much had me drag out all these boxes to look for Goldeneye 007 and my N64 [...]
