Stupid fucking PC hardware and Windows. This is a clear reminder of why I’m so happy with my Macs. So here I am trying to install a Linksys 802.1G and a gigabit ethernet adapter into my Win2k PC. Pop in the CD, let it do its thing, turn it off, shove in the adapter and […]

I should just give up and work for the adult industry directly and earn my stripes there instead of doing the whole indirect trafficing of porn I’ve done in the past two jobs. It’s amazing at the sheer infrastructure needed to support porn. Servers that can serve up hundreds of megabits of web traffic, backend […]

At work I left my IBP running memtestosx. I learned that at a certain point, it would spontaneously reboot with the 1 GB stick in. I went up to Fry’s and exchanged it for another. Sat out in the parking lot, put in the new memory and ran memtestosx right then and there. It completed […]

I have some sort of cancer infecting my Apples that’s making me nervous. I think the battle of PowerPC vs Intel is happening on my kitchen counter. I reinstalled everything on my IBP. Now I’m having some sort of occasional spontaneous reboot problem that happens regardless of what I’m doing. On a whim, I stuck […]

Well, that was quick. I’ve already lost all the data on my IntelBook Pro. I spent a good chunk of last night and this morning tracking down my kernel panics and reading through Apple kernel development docs to figure it out. So far I had decided they had to be related to DivX and Xvid, […]

I downloaded a nightly build of Firefox (Deerpark) and VLC compiled for Intel. Deerpark is a huge improvement, it has a more responsive interface and snappy when it comes to rendering pages. VLC, both the PowerPC and nightly Intel build, on the other hand has crashed OS X so many times tonight. It seems to […]

I finally broke down and bought an IntelBookPro (a/k/a MacBackPro, what a horrible name) on Thursday. I felt very smug walking into the Apple store, feeling as if they should roll out the red carpet as I walked straight to the service desk to order it. After picking up my booty, I sneered at all […]

Fucking-A, I finally fixed my Surreal64 emulator problem on my Xbox. I kept using a bogus Media Path in my Surreal.ini file that I thought was right. Thirty pages into the Surreal64 help thread on Xbox-scene somebody posts “don’t change the path to your media files or Surreal won’t have a GUI to load!” Sure […]

So I managed to drag Courtney to the top of Enchanted Rock. A thick fog had set in over hill country which made for some interesting scenery on the rock. On the way down, I didn’t curve around enough and got us going down the wrong side of the rock. We wound up going down […]

I must say, shaved legs really do make cleaning wounds and dealing with adhesive dressing much less painful. Less damned hair to pull out by its roots!
