Ok, that’s a lie, but still.

I’m officially the world’s biggest nerd.

Upgrade time, woot!

I noticed how cheap laptop ram has gotten and decided to order an upgrade. I picked up 2GB from NewEgg.com for $45 shipped, stuck it in and fired it back up. Much faster load time for sure. Definately a worthy upgrade.

So, I’ve been kinda MIA because I made the mistake of deciding to update my old desktop with a fresh XP install. I wrestled with BIOS versions, USB keyboard issues, and a million other things, but I finally got it updated with the latest BIOS and a version of XP Pro SP3 stripped down with nLite.
SP3 seems to boot a lot faster, but that could be because my XP install was ~3.5 years old, the format likely helped a lot too. I’m about to install Ubuntu as well, I already have on my laptop and it seems ok, a little complicated for simple shit, but very customizable, so I’ll give it a shot.

In local news, pay attention to West Memphis 3 news, it’s about to start developing.

mini update

May 05, 2008 By: Sig Category: Internet, Technology No Comments →

Not much posting activity lately because I’m trying to salvage my old Dell desktop, do a fresh XP install, and add a partition to dual boot linux. I’ll update with pretty screenshots and hows to’s and links too cool stuff soon. Either that or I’ll update with pictures of my computer with 20 rounds of 9mm hollowpoint in it. Either way, it will be entertaining.

Thanks Microsoft, for wasting a day of my life chasing USB/Bios/Keyboard issues

I’ve spent the last day and a half wondering why my Microsoft USB keyboard wouldn’t work properly in BIOS. Yes, legacy support was enabled. It would work to enter bios, then it would work for one more keypress, then it would no longer respond to anything. The final solution: remove microsoft’s driver’s and just use the base HID drivers. Works perfectly now.

Amazon has a sale on refurbed ice cream makers, $20 + shipping for a $99 machine. I might have to check it out, I need an excuse to eat ice cream.
