Today I got an email in my yahoo email account that, well, frankly made me laugh till it brought tears to my eyes. It was from someone named “Robert S. Mueller, III“… and the subject line was “Anti-Terrorist and Monetary Crimes Division“. The message the spammer used as his / her masking email address was [...]

Well, a bit late perhaps, but just a quick blurb about my trip to Las Vegas last week for the Microsoft Management Summit. I finaly got the chance to attend MMS last week for the first time.  It was a blast… I learned so much in only five days I felt like my head was [...]

So I finaly got my updated system. 2 gigs of PC6700 CAS4 RAM, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66ghz @ 1033fsb, and a GeForce 8800GT 256meg @ 700mhz bus video card. So far, the system is working excellently. So I started up World of Warcraft to test the new setup… and wow… 80 frames a second [...]

I’ve been wanting to create an Aviation based theme using the same basic design of my other edits for some time now, and finaly went ahead and just did it. I used my EVE Online theme essentially as the basis (since that’s my favorite edit so far… it’s clean and simple, yet elegant), and changed [...]

Last night I went through my Event Logs on my system and found that I’ve been having a slew of atimag errors about my monitor “not being the correct type” for my ATI card. After some rather heavy research I found that this is a problem that’s relatively common for people with the 7.8 and [...]

So… I spent several days troubleshooting my computer issues. Tried several video cards, different sticks of memory, my own memory in different configurations (and single sticks), a different motherboard, and different processor. It all boils down to what I originally assumed to be the case… at least my motherboard is damaged… and possibly my processor [...]

Well, it got worse than I thought. The machine worked after I put it all back together… but it’s most certainly not “normal”. The system seems to be running at less than 20% of it’s original speed. To get any of the games and other processor dependant programs I run running well I’ve had to [...]

Last night I finaly picked up a decent headset mic… a Logitech 350. It’s a USB setup with a cute little button volume controller about 2 feet down the line from the headset itself (which also mutes the microphone when pressed… more on that below). I don’t have a lot of open USB slots on [...]

I finaly got the Theme I’d been working on mostly finished… at least, finished enough to post it up on my site. It’s not my own work, it’s simply a modification of the theme I originaly was using (which I liked) to suite my own tastes. I prefer a darker theme which allows for the [...]

So, I finaly got this scheme to work like I wanted to originally. The links to the left under the specific headings now finaly have the same formatting and background image that the site specific links do. So now, it’s time to change things again. I’d planned from the beginning to make the scheme more [...]

I think I like this theme layout so far the best. The only issue I have with it is the fact that the Links section doesn’t segregate the links into subgroups, but I’m fairly sure I can change that. Other than that, it’s just a matter of changing the top pic to something more my [...]

I just completed my first ever installation of SuSE Linux 10.0 without anyone helping me out. I browsed the SuSE forums extensively to determine some of the problems I originally had with setting up my shared drives for my home network though, until I realized it had to do with the removable drive I had [...]

Well I had to create a new Blog as my old one decided to contract a fatal case of “Access Denied” for some odd reason. So here it is… my new Blog. I’m rather fed up with having to create new ones every six months or so, so if this one goes the way of [...]
