Welp, my monitor is officially dead. MY monitor. My preferred and default monitor of the two. The one that doesn’t have an annoying dead pixel in the middle of the screen *deep sigh* I’m going with just a single monitor right now, but it’s proving to be annoying. Dual monitors is very much just a [...]
We got a message a few days ago letting us know there’d be a big Alltel update in our area on the 7th with instructions on how to update our phones on that day if we experienced and interruption. I just realized it’s the 7th so I tried to update my phone and it said [...]
Oy! Hopefully, I’m done with computer problems for the year! My poor baby has been having startup troubles and flashing the BSOD for a little while and it finally kicked it. I had been assuming it was due to a problem with one of the new hard drives. Well, one of my hard drives did [...]
I called this weekend to set up a service call for our cable. For at least 5 years, the signal upstairs has been crap. Every two weeks we have trouble with OnDemand at the very least. At its worst, a lot of channels will come through as if playing from a scratchy dvd. We’ve let [...]
Oy! So, my hard drives are here and so is my second monitor and video card—but of course none of it is turning out to be plug-n-play ready! As far as the monitor/video card goes, I haven’t talked to Ryan about what he figured out today but it’s either a bad adapter or bad card–both [...]
My new hard drive is on the way! In fact, I’m so savvy, I weaseled my way into two new hard drives! I’m getting two Hitachi Deskstar 7K400 SATA hard drives. They’re 400GB each, bringing total storage in my computer to a solid Terabyte. It’s too exciting! Much like all the time I spent on [...]
When it comes to computers, Ryan knows his hardware. He also knows more of the in-depth stuff about really getting everything you can out of your computer, so really, it always surprises me just how much he falls short when it comes to the internet. There’s always something he wants to buy, something he doesn’t [...]
I’m getting really, really excited about all the electronics that will soon be in my possession! After dinner last night we went sort of window-shopping. We checked out the possible video cards that would work with my computer. Ryan explained to me the different options that each of them opened up and we narrowed it [...]
I don’t think I mentioned it yet, but by the end of the year, I’ll have a lot of upgrades to my computer. I’m getting an extra internal hard drive for memory, a new video card and second monitor for a dual monitor setup (to watch movies and such while I’m doing other stuff), a [...]
My new mouse of amazing-incredible-orgasmic-awesomenes arrived today! I played a bit and then put it gently in its cradle to fully charge and now it’s ready to go! I’ll hold off on a full review since right now I’m still discovering all the awesome ways I can customize it, but yeah….if loving a computer accessory [...]
