Here is a story. A story of how Murphy decided to pay me a visit and break me at every possible step. Continue reading

Late night
Almost done at work at 11:42 pm. The work queue got backed up and someone had to do it. It’s still not great, but it’s better. Let’s see if the techies are relieved tomorrow.
Happy Easter… plus follow-up!
Happy Easter. Moving on.
Had a nice week at work. See, I am in the middle of trying to merge two companies together and on top of that, the local Fire Department and Police Department have emergency-level failures in their infrastructure, one of my best clients had a backup failure and a couple of others needed server quotes. Do you see what I’m dealing with? Is it worth it? Remains to be seen.
I have hacked even more the Inanis.net blog theme. I am getting ever so closer to perfection. I hack it up all pretty and wait a couple of weeks to see if I find anything else that needs to be prettied. Then I hack some more. It’s like chili: the more times you re-cook it, the better it gets.
The Beast is purring like a kitten. I have the overclock reset and it’s running very well. I had hoped I would be able to eek out a bit more speed, since Gigabyte sent me a revision 3.3 motherboard for replacement instead of a revision 2.0 like I had purchased, but it just won’t take. Any FSB setting above 300MHz and the system does the POST-Reset loop crap. I think either the video card or the RAM is the cause of my woe, as many people have cranked this motherboard well above a 300MHz FSB and this processor (Intel Core 2 Duo E4300) is supposed to clock well over 3.0GHz on stock cooling (and I have better than stock cooling). I just can’t get it there, no matter what timings or settings I set.
Good news everyones!
Six days since…
… I posted last. I have some cool work-related stuph to spout about, but it’s not public knowledge yet, so I can’t really go on about it. I want to, though.
I want to put together my Ultimate Tech’s Toolkit but I can’t afford it. *sob* I have to fix the house first.
I want to build my “new” server, but I can’t afford it. *heave*
I want to stop complaining, but I don’t have anything non-mundane to exclaim about. *sniff*
Busy week in the shop
This week (and the entire month, really) was kinda nuts in the computer shop, but it was a blessing in disguise.
I had four computer deliveries, about as many other on-site appointments, a dump truck full of paper work and other administrative duties and probably more stuff I cannot remember. Technician “D” was almost never in the shop, doing a network job and several other minor things. Technician “T” trudged along in-shop, consumed by phone calls, half finished computers and a work queue of about 25 machines.
It was all worth it.
November turned out to be the best gross sales month this year.
