Up n’ runnin.
I can’t believe it. The only hitch was I needed one more IDE cable. I picked that up in town and the computer works like a charm. I seriously can’t believe I didn’t screw anything up. Everything went exactly like it was supposed to. Either I know more than I thought, or anybody could do this.
Best of all… no AOL signups to be found!
rack mounted computer
ok im going to get flack from any girl that reads this but i think this person selling this computer has got a great marketing ploy.
msn messenger …..grrrrr
The MSN Messenger Service is experiencing worldwide sporadic problems this weekend. Ranging from contact lists not being available, to service outages, the problems have worsened today with many unable to sign on at all.
Some users are still connected but many have been forced off the Messenger Service. MSN’s status page which provides updates to customers about any service problems is currently experiencing “Server is too busy” errors and ASP errors.
We are awaiting a response on these issues from Microsoft; it is not known exactly what is causing the problems. Previously, human error has triggered large outages on the popular chat network.

01.20.05viruses and worms
computer viruses and worms suck FHSU campus got hit by one last night at about 8:50 pm. Its called the love me worm. Its sent over the msn messenger service in a file called “love_me.pif.” This worm installs itself on you computer disables your sound and proceeds to send itself to everycontact on your list. i was lucky to have up to date anti-virus and saved my computer however my roommate wasnt so lucky……
Today we take it to100%
I’m going to put the new speaker setup through its paces today. I figure watching the climatic battle in the Matrix Revolutions should do the trick. I might even turn it up to -20 =O
But not before I go get some eats and register my car tags. Oh boy oh boy! You’re all invited by the way. Ha ha. Sucks that I live so far from everyone.
Gonna need some Lego Skillz
I ordered my new desktop today through NewEgg It’s nothing to salivate over, but it should be fun enough to put together. Plus I’ll be setting up a server that should have some decent uptime. (Laptops just don’t make ideal server hosts.)
A rundown of the basic specs:
Celeron 2.26 Ghz
256 MB DDR RAM
80 GB Hard Drive
NVidia GeForce MX 128 MB
DVD-ROM/CD-RW
A brand new computer for right at $500. That’s if I don’t screw anything up. 😛
