Weird computer sounds	May 11, 2012, 12:44 pm
So my PC occasionally makes these odd grinding sounds in the CD player area which coincides with when I get a windows update, even if there's nothing in the slot. Also the light on the floppy disk drive goes on. I can make it stop by opening and closing it, but it may come back. What's the dealio?

BS'in CS (but keeping god mode anyway)	May 10, 2012, 10:32 am
Nope, a degree in Computer Science will not change my playing habits. It will, however, make me feel smug around all those liberal arts majors who wouldn't date me. Unlike Snakes, you don't get a picture of my sister, but here's a picture with my brother to make up for it. Now to just get Chex Warrior out of here.

Level 28	May 9, 2012, 12:55 pm
After exactly one year of hard grinding for experience, I reached level 28. I have yet to decided where to put my stat points though.

Child Protective Services	May 4, 2012, 3:09 pm
Every one of the corrupt soulless fucks at DCFS/CPS needs to be thrown in prison. You have not done me any good. You have not done anything to help me, only given me the brief illusion of it. You do NOT know what's best for the child, you can NOT read my mind, and you are NOT interested in the welfare of foster children, only your Ciavarella-esque paychecks. Fuck you.

Mini-itx PC	May 3, 2012, 6:54 pm
Its been a while since Ive had a mini-itx computer (ignoring the new commodore 64 I bought) and felt like delving into them again to see how things have progressed since several years ago. So a few weeks back I ordered various parts to build a small computer. Finally arrived the other week and have just built it Love minimalist approaches to computers. Intel D2500HN Mini-ITX Motherboard. Runs Dual core atom at 1.86Ghz. I threw in a 2gb SODIMM, will pick up another at some point. Only regret is not getting the next model up which had DVI/HDMI. Here you can also see the pico PSU. Has one molex and sata connector - more than sufficient to run the cpu/ssd and a couple of USB devices. Circuit board in the bottom left is for two usb ports - hidden by the front bezel. The sata SSD can be seen under the drive/fan tray in the top left. Need to get a shorter sata cable. Threw Ubuntu 9.01 on (hate Unity) and its happily running away. I have a couple options for it, one bolt it to the back of an old monitor and use in my bedroom for downloaded tv/movies, two use as a car PC with some free GPS software. Or build a couple of them and make a beowulf cluster :)

Question about metal ladders and wifi	May 1, 2012, 1:21 pm
My aunt recently divorced her husband, and is now living on the second floor of an apartment, and her husband pretty much took all the money, so she can't afford much. I helped her set up a computer and leech wifi from a nearby building. Thing is, she doesn't get a very good signal at all. I figured that maybe if she could get her internet from a lower elevation, the signal might be better. I used my phone to test the wifi from several different locations, and it turns out that directly under the window where she keeps her computer has a pretty good connection. So I was planning to use a 30' USB extension cable to connect to her computer, run down the side of the building, and on the inside edge of the side of the fire escape ladder, and plug a USB wifi stick to. My only concern is will the metal of the fire escape ladder degrade the signal because it's surrounded on 3 sides, or is the metal too thin to really make a difference? And please don't complain about the potential problems of this plan regarding weather conditions or people stealing it, I've got that covered.
