Blogroll Me!
There are people on the net that have nothing better to do with their time
then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours
a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a
day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their
opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into
their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.
To these people I say grow up.
Here's a bit of info people...the web is
a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I
do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or
whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's
really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in
the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty
site has disappeared.
I pay for this site. It's mine. That
means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm
bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else.
Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read
them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live
and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care.
This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or
fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and
express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't,
it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

Looking for Failures
So we've been trying to track down the problem. Since it appears the errors have been memory based, it could be one of my sticks of RAM is bad. Or, it could be that one of the slots is bad. Or both. Who knows? So we took out one stick this morning and I ran it for about an hour and a half without fail. Then, suddenly, when I walked away and came back, it had rebooted. That stick might be going bad. Now we've swapped out that one and put in the other of my two 256 sticks and I'm trying this one. See how it works. If it crashes, then it might still be the slots. Or some incompatability which is unlikely since it's the same ram I've used all along and the problem only started in the last couple days. If it crashes again with this one, I have some other sticks to try. If it still crashes with those, then it will probably point towards one of more of the slots being bad. The big thing is figuring out which combination is causing the problem. Since the crashing is so very random, I never know when it's going to happen. This morning, everythign was fine for quite awhile before it just lost it. Whereas yesterday, it crashed two times in a row - the second within minutes of rebooting. I've been trying to do what I normally do and keep open the programs I normally have open at a time to make the test more even across the board. Basically, I've just been tinkering at my computers like I would normally and seeing when and if it'll go down. Went to the PO to mail out Kjersti's tea (yeah, FINALLY!) and they were having computer problems too. Only theirs was a more amusingly ironic reason. A squirrle gnawed though a power cable (and apparently fried itself in doing so), killed their power for two hours and caused their pc's to crash. Only one was up and barely running at that when we got there. The amusing part is that it wasn't the technology that failed, it was that the entire system was felled by one over-anxious rodent. Alright, well I'm going to publish this while I'm still up. I'm still behind on everything and everyone and my pc access is sketchy since I never know how long I have or what I can do before it crashes. Bear with me.
