Few Days
It's been a couple of days since I last made an update on here, but there's a few things that I need to mention.
The biggest thing that's been happening with me is that everything keeps breaking for me. The other week, the battery in my Dell Inspiron 6000 took a shit. It would flash the 1st, 3rd, and the 5th lights on it, which is an error code saying that the battery needs to be replaced. Wow !
Yesterday, on my way home, I blew out 2 of the speakers on the Nissan. The 2 front speakers. All that was working were the rear 2 speakers.
And when I was out today in the car, I blew out the driver's rear speaker ! So there's only one working speaker in the car right now. Fuck !
But really, we changed the radio in the car the other week, and the speakers are really old. We (my dad and I) were planning on getting them changed anyway, because they're so crackly when you're listening to anything with them.
And the other thing that happened, is that the subwoofer for my Altec Lansing speaker set up (in my room) I think took a shit on me. I had spares in the basement (thank you thrift store !) so I plugged in another subwoofer that I had. I brought the old one down there in hopes of me testing it to confirm that it's blown. If it is, I'll bring it to the carwash and dump it in their dumpster, mark it that it's blown, too.
The nice thing is that they lasted me a long time, I think I got the speaker setup (the one that's in my room) in late 2003 to early 2004, and here it is near the middle of 2008. The nice thing is that the individual speakers (I think they're properly referred to as "satellites" if I can recall) still worked just fine, which is good.
Anyway, in other news, I have to work tomorrow, more than likely on Wednesday, possibly Thursday, and Friday, at the latest. And if that's right, then Sharon will be working for me on Saturday and Sunday, due to the development that I had mentioned awhile ago on here.
Today, I got a computer from the basement working. The other day at the thrift store, I bought a $10.00 motherboard, which had the CPU mounted on it. Basically, it's a Mini-ATX AMD motherboard, the CPU that was on it is an AMD Athlon 700MHz CPU (Slot A ?), and had no RAM. I provided the RAM, I put 128MB on it for now, and I put a 20GB hard drive into the case. I installed Windows XP Professional on it but I'd like to get the rest of it working again, too. Turns out that the last motherboard I bought from the thrift store was junk, but this one turned out to be okay, actually.
As with web site news, I've decided that I'm going to move out of the Windows / Plesk server that Allen's running, as I can't stand that system. Linux / cPanel is much better, as that's what I've been used to for years and years. I've found a web host from Google that offers free cPanel hosting with no ads, (NovaHost) and I've gotten an account from them sometime in December, but I've not persued in doing anything with the account I had with them. Now I'm finally deciding to use it. Later on, after I get VirtuBots back up on the new server (right now it's on the old server, it's way too late in the evening to fuck around with that), I might have my friend David register an account with them for his DJ website. I think it'd be best. I mean, after all, they're giving it away for free. You couldn't ask for any better than that.
- Mike.
