Wit from the mind!
So I've been busy
Passed all classes, GPA up to a 3.08.
Going to Texas for a week (Galveston) leaving in 1 hour
Workin' 'round the clock, still dont have enough $$ for the fall semester. Here's hoping for Financial Aid to take care of the rest!
Also, WoW is an evil, evil, drug...

What is the French for "Im back, man was that anticlimactic"?
yeah, she kinda cooled off after 3-4 days, and here I am. Main reason this took so long is that my internet was down for 2 weeks. Just in time for Spring Break D:

Au Revoir
Well, due to a "spat" with the ever vengeful Maternal Unit 01 involving a bicycle bell and my middle brother, I am being "disconnected". No cell phone (sigh), no Desktop (errrr....), and basically nothing electronic except the laptop, when she approves. Meaning, I'm gonna be on "hiatus" for a while. Who knows when I'll be back....She wont give me any goal to achieve, nor a time frame to meet.
And so, sweet rioters, Au Revoir and Farewell and Abschied, Búcsú, 別れ,
Прощание, Despedida, Farväl, Adio, and many more.

Windows 7 and other awesome things
Installed Windows 7 Beta on the laptop. It rocks. I have had no problems yet, either. In other news, I had no idea the song "Somebody Told Me" was by The Killers. I don't know who I thought it was by. Some teen pop group maybe, I dunno. Just found out otherwise from www.musicovery.com . awesome site, check it out.

Well....I don't even know what to think....
I got a freaking D in Precalculus....I have NEVER been good at math, of any sort....but I honestly thought I was gonna scrape out a C, a grade that will transfer to a 4 year school....Now I will have to take Precalc 1 again....This has pretty much f*ckd over my whole Winter Break....I wish my professor had posted my numerical average, so I could at least see how close I was....And the worst bit is, I have to take Precalc 2 next semester.....I was in such a good mood today, too....

OMGWTFBBQ! IM SO POOR!
So....tuition is due....tomorrow....
We got the bill....3 days ago....
We had 3 days to come up with $1,406.40
My dad says he may pay for half....
I might have about $500
hopefully things will work out.
Also, I found out my employer does not want me working any more than 20hrs in one week. This vastly limits my cash flow, since I already work 16/week. Basically, without getting a 2nd job, I am stuck with the wage i get now, no more....

Meh...I'm slightly annoyed
So I went out today (Black Friday) and bought a 1TB External HDD to back up all my music and movies. I get home, find a spot for it, hook it up, but while doing so accidentally bump my computer case. No big deal, right? well apparently it was enough to do something to one of the case fans, which started making a rather unhappy vibrating sound. After making sure it was not one of the HDDs, and was for sure coming from a part of the case where only a Fan resides, I shut off the comp.
However, I cannot keep my desktop turned off forever. How easy is it to install a new case fan? If it is difficult, how hard would it be to try and fix the fan currently in there? i imagine it is something to do with ball bearings or something.
tl;dr:
fan going bad, how to fix?

Cuil Theory
One Cuil = One level of abstraction away from the reality of a situation.
The Cuil is represented in Equations by the Interrobang (‽)
http://cuiltheory.wikidot.com/
Source: http://www.reddit.com/r/w…reveal_baby_farms/c06cqxb
Example: You ask me for a Hamburger.
1 Cuil: if you asked me for a hamburger, and I gave you a raccoon.
2 Cuils: If you asked me for a hamburger, but it turns out I don't really exist. Where I was originally standing, a picture of a hamburger rests on the ground.
3 Cuils: You awake as a hamburger. You start screaming only to have special sauce fly from your lips. The world is in sepia.
4 Cuils: Why are we speaking German? A mime cries softly as he cradles a young cow. Your grandfather stares at you as the cow falls apart into patties. You look down only to see me with pickles for eyes, I am singing the song that gives birth to the universe.
And so on.
edit: other Cuil levels added for completeness.
5 Cuils: You ask for a hamburger, I give you a hamburger. You raise it to your lips and take a bite. Your eye twitches involuntarily. Across the street a father of three falls down the stairs. You swallow and look down at the hamburger in your hands. I give you a hamburger. You swallow and look down at the hamburger in your hands. You cannot swallow. There are children at the top of the stairs. A pickle shifts uneasily under the bun. I give you a hamburger. You look at my face, and I am pleading with you. The children are crying now. You raise the hamburger to your lips, tears stream down your face as you take a bite. I give you a hamburger. You are on your knees. You plead with me to go across the street. I hear only children's laughter. I give you a hamburger. You are screaming as you fall down the stairs. I am your child. You cannot see anything. You take a bite of the hamburger. The concrete rushes up to meet you. You awake with a start in your own bed. Your eye twitches involuntarily. I give you a hamburger. As you kill me, I do not make a sound. I give you a hamburger.
6 Cuils: You ask me for a hamburger. My attempt to reciprocate is cut brutally short as my body experiences a sudden lack of electrons. Across a variety of hidden dimensions you are dismayed. John Lennon hands me an apple, but it slips through my fingers. I am reborn as an ocelot. You disapprove. A crack echoes through the universe in defiance of conventional physics as cosmological background noise shifts from randomness to a perfect A Flat. Children everywhere stop what they are doing and hum along in perfect pitch with the background radiation. Birds fall from the sky as the sun engulfs the earth. You hesitate momentarily before allowing yourself to assume the locus of all knowledge. Entropy crumbles as you peruse the information contained within the universe. A small library in Phoenix ceases to exist. You stumble under the weight of everythingness, Your mouth opens up to cry out, and collapses around your body before blinking you out of the spatial plane. You exist only within the fourth dimension. The fountainhead of all knowledge rolls along the ground and collides with a small dog. My head tastes sideways as spacetime is reestablished, you blink back into the corporeal world disoriented, only for me to hand you a hamburger as my body collapses under the strain of reconstitution. The universe has reasserted itself. A particular small dog is fed steak for the rest of its natural life. You die in a freak accident moments later, and you soul works at the returns desk for the Phoenix library. You disapprove. Your disapproval sends ripples through the inter-dimensional void between life and death. A small child begins to cry as he walks toward the stairway where his father stands.

You hesitate momentarily before allowing yourself to assume the locus of all knowledge. Entropy crumbles as you peruse the information contained within the universe. A small library in Phoenix ceases to exist. You stumble under the weight of everythingness, Your mouth opens up to cry out, and collapses around your body before blinking you out of the spatial plane. You exist only within the fourth dimension. The fountainhead of all knowledge rolls along the ground and collides with a small dog. My head tastes sideways as spacetime is reestablished, you blink back into the corporeal world disoriented, only for me to hand you a hamburger as my body collapses under the strain of reconstitution. The universe has reasserted itself. A particular small dog is fed steak for the rest of its natural life. You die in a freak accident moments later, and you soul works at the returns desk for the Phoenix library. You disapprove. Your disapproval sends ripples through the inter-dimensional void between life and death. A small child begins to cry as he walks toward the stairway where his father stands.

Bleagh, another lofty goal for me....
As you dont know, because i dont remember telling you, I am attending a Community College for 2 years in lieu of the traditional 4 year right off the bat. This is advantageous as it saves money, but also because this PARTICULAR community college has GUARANTEED ADMISSIONS AGREEMENTS with almost every college/university in the state.
I just found out the GPA req for the 4 year I want to transfer to, it is minimum of 3.6.....8O
This is gonna be tough for me, but I believe it is within reach.
GO ME....i hope....

Bah, I'm getting annoyed
So I have been having more trouble with my windows installation. Same problem as Blog: What the heck?! Whats up with this? , In that I can't successfully work in windows. If I disable the Linux HDD in BIOS, I can log into windows, but no applications will start. For example, Xfire launches on startup, but just freezes while detecting the games. If I try to open n app, nothing happens at all. Safe Mode seems to work fine, though, with or without the drive disabled. Before I went to bed last night, I started up the process of doing a repair install of Windows. However, when I woke up, it was "installing network", and there were 32min left in the installation. 30min later, it was at the same place, and I noticed the CD Drive light was not flashing, it was not reading from the disc. I guess I will have to do a complete reinstall. at least all my stuff is backed up onto the linux drive.....

Trials and Tribulations (and Headphones)
SO.
Way back on 9/3, my Dad ordered some headphones for me from www.eliteproducts.com for my 18th birthday.
Do NOT order from them.
We recieved an email on 9/4 saying our order had shipped, and now, close to 2 weeks later, they have not arrived. We did some digging, and found out that this "company" has gotten other complaints, so we called the credit card company and disputed the charge. My dad did some more digging, and turned up the home phone number of the guy that owns the site/company, and left a rather angry email.
There is good news, however. We found out that a local guitar/music shop carries the same headphones, for the same price, albeit without shipping. I am going there this afternoon to get them!
Oh, and the headphones are these:
Sennheiser HD 280 PRO

Guess What I Found....
I found an old disc image file of Half Life for the Dreamcast. (it was never released, so no piracy here)
It is....interesting. I might toss up a preliminary review. Game seems to be VERY complete, IE, no bugs so far. It may have even gone gold before being scrapped.

This is gonna be short, as i have to get ready for class.....
i installed kubuntu linux on my 2nd HDD, and now when i go to boot into WINDOWS, i get a system crash right after clicking on the user icon to log in. I know I didn't overwrite Windows, because after I installed linux, I first booted into windows to make sure everything worked, and it did. To make matters worse, I cant seem to install anything in linux, as i go into the console, and for example type "sudo apt-get install fireofx" and everything goes smoothly until the window displays "configuring-sun-java6-bin" and a liscense agreement. there is the word "ok" at the bottom, but i cannot click it, and the install will not progress!
HELP!

FInally got around RMA'ing my memory....
Some of you may remember I was having computer problems earlier in the year. Well, it turned out to be nothing more than a stick of bad memory, so I FINALLY got around to sending in a request for an RMA number from Crucial. If they decide to send me replacement memory, I will then have 4gigs of memory in my system, which is the max supported by a 32bit OS, right?
anyway, here's to hoping!

So I have these Hard Drives....
In my computer. Windows is installed on one of them, but the other lies there, useless, as windows doesn't recognize it. Do any of you smart tech types know how I might make windows recognize the drive, so I can use i for things like media storage and the like? I understand there are pins involved, and possibly software....
Or I could just install Kubuntu on it, but I really have no interest in hunting for drivers for my wireless card, I've done that before, with my laptop....NOT FUN! >(

Well, theres the good and the bad....
so i reformatted and installed windows, now with 100% less RAID-0. Only to find out that since I had to install windows on my laptop using the same CD while my desktop was out of commission, it is no longer a valid product key, which means I have 30 days to talk to MS and see if they will cut me some slack. Also, there is way lag when dragging windows around the screen, maybe cuz i need to update video card drivers?
any advice on the 30 day thing would be appreciated.....
EDIT:
Just found out that MS support requests cost $59. I am totally fucked, aren't I?
I dont have the $$ for a support request OR to buy a new copy of Windows to use that product key.....

It is an awesome Samsung model, uses SDHC cards, so I bought an 8 Gig memory card for it, enough for about 8 hours of video in Normal quality! This means my Youtube Stardom is that much closer!
EDIT:
No, it is not HD, those cost like $900-$1200
model is SC-MX10R

Fixing broken TCPIP settings ( i think )
So...My desktop was broken for a while, and it turned out it was a bad stick of memory. It is since working again, I have discovered it cannot go online. The wireless card APPEARS to be working, as it detects, and sometimes connects to, the router. When I go to go online, it gives a "page cannot be displayed" error. When I switch to ethernet cable, and plug it into the router, it connects, but still no pages displayed. I go to repair the ethernet connection, and get a "Failed to Query TCPIP Settings of the connection, cannot proceed." error.
typing ipconfig into the command prompt yields "an internal error occured, the request is not supported."
now, I have tried
I have heard ideas of a repair install, but clicking "upgrade" instead of "fresh install", but will that mess up the RAID?
*is frustrated*
any ideas?
typing ipconfig into the command prompt yields "an internal error occured, the request is not supported."
now, I have tried
but that yields no fix. I have tried coping the known-to-work tcpip.sys and ndis.sys files from this computer (laptop) as well as 3 separate repair programs, nothing worked. I am faced with the delimma of reinstalling windows, but I have so much data that needs backing up, and no where to put it, and not enough cash for an external HDD. Also, My HDDs (2x500Gb) are formatted RAID-0, and I do not know how re installation will affect that.Code:netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt

So I found a 1989 Firebird on Craigslist for $1200. has 108,000 miles on it, autimatic transmission, but needs a new horn. Blue book value somewhere between $1300 and $1600. Good deal? I have a poll up, but feel free to leave comments here.

networking problems...
So my desktop is working again, but there is a teensey problem, the wireless card is fried. I have an ethernet cable I can use until I get a new card, but my computer does not seem to like it... when i plug in the cable to my router, and the other end to my computer, it does not connect! when I tell the computer to "repair" the connection, it says "failed to query TCP/IP Settings of the connection, cannot proceed"
Now, I have no IDEA what this means, or how to fix it. I installed the ethernet drivers that came with the motherboard again, but no dice, it still gives the same error, and I tried restarting after the install.
Any help to be given?

The Good and the Bad
The Good: My desktop is working again, turns out one of the memory sticks was bad.
The Bad: the wireless card is still not working, meaning I cannot get online, and i need a new card.
ended up buying new memory as well as a uninteruptible power supply unit, so if the power goes again, nothing will be fried

So I got the ew Processor in the mail today. Installed it, no dice. for the backstory, see my earlier blog posts.
Anyhoo, it still dont work. Now, the only part we have not replaced is the Graphics Card. My VERY EXPENSIVE (at the time) graphics card. We have tested the monitor, the cable, every other thing display related, so it has to be the Gcard. The comp repair guy said he would swap in an alternate card to test if i brought it in, free of charge, so i will do that on my next free day. Right Now, Im going to go see Indy IV. I need to stare into space for a while.

The Final Chapter of the Farce that is my Computer Problems
So, I have had trials and tribulations over the past few weeks diagnosing my computer problems. Finally narrowed it down to Motherboard or processor. Bought the mobo, installed, hey guess what? there went $150. Luckily, the processor was still under warranty, so it was not a complete loss. It told me that it was not the mobo, after all. So off goes the old processor for RMA. should be expected in a little over a week, allowing for 3 days for shipping both ways and 2 days processing on Intel's end. I hope to god this is the last bit, I have literally got no more time to devote to this.
In other news, I just ordered Randy Pausch's book "The Last Lecture" and Ron Paul's "The Revolution- A Manifesto" hope they are as good as the reviews say.

However, I have no idea as to what may go on between employees and supervisors, etc...

this ipod is ONE DAY OLD!
What do I do?!

Bork'd Desktop pt. II
For backstory, read "so my desktop is borked" , my previous blog entry.
I'M beginning to think it may indeed be the MotherBoard, as we had a power outage last night.(I was asleep at the time) and now the damn thing wont boot. the drives are fine, they power up and stuff, but nothing that draws power direct from the motherboard, such as keyboard, mouse, wireless card, have any lights coming on, and thus no power. Now if I get a new motherboard, presumably the same type, could I install it without having to wipe the OS? or should I get my drives backed up and just do a clean install?

so my desktop is, like, borked or something
So I go off to work this afternoon, all is well. 4 hours later, I return, my comp is locked up, black screen, no task manager showing up, noting working. I reboot, manually due to lock up, and run chkdsk. it runs fine. Upon booting into windows, all sorts of errors arrive, I believe most have to do with th fact that there is no internet connection available. this is ludicrious. I go to manually tell it to connnect, and it says "not connected" in the status box. double-click to connnect, get prompted "are you sure you want to disconnect" WTF? no internet, cannot connect, errors on boot.....
I know the router is working, as I am typing this on my laptop....the worst bit is, it happened while I was at work, so I didn't see any at-the-moment errors....
Any Suggestions?

Censorship? The Conclusion
It was all a joke, as it turns out. The English teacher in question had arranged for the administrator to come and take the books. Only problem, he told no one else, not even the principal. The school was apparently inundated with calls screaming for blood, metaphorically speaking. The teacher was chewed out, the books returned, life goes on in Spotsylvania County Schools, Dept. of Ineptitude Education.

Censorship?
So I found out that my school administration has apparently rounded up all copies of the book 1984 and confiscated them. Tried to take people's personal copies as well. Dunno if it is a really bad joke or what, but it pisses me off.

Flogging Molly @ The National
Going to see Flogging Molly tonight at the National in Richmond. Gonna be GREAT! Saw them live last year at Shamrock Fest. Any Rioters going? seems unlikely if you live far away, as I don't think it is a BIG concert. Though it MIGHT BE! because their new album comes out tomorrow

Internet Back!
So I got a new router. Cost me a bit more than I was hoping for, but oh well. For SOME reason I thought routers were $20-$30, not $40. Saw some NICE ones for like $180, media center routers and stuff. Anyhoo, got internet back, so it is partytime!
*30 SECOND RAVE*
woo...
back to updating a weeks worth of...updates....

So my internet is GONE (written from school)
so My router at home died. Died as in not only does it drop connections, but no wireless link appears, and the comp hard wired to it cannot get online either. Guess I have to get a new router in addition to a new phone set. (the old one operated on the same frequency as the router, 2.8(?)GHz)

For the love of Jeezus Titty-Fucking christ! I swear gremlins are out to get me!
So as my previous blog stated, I had a bad weekend, culminating with a broken finger. I thought this week would be better, but was astonishingly mistaken. First I found out that my english class has been assigned an "independent reading project" and I got The Count of Monte Cristo. I love the book, but we have a month to read it and write an 8-10 page research paper on it. the book is like ~1000 pages long!
then this afternoon, ice was messing with the power lines, and caused the power to flicker. by the time i got from the kitchen to my room, the power had flickered 3 times, and I believe it fried my computers motherboard(im on my laptop). It was plugged into a surge protecter, but did it help? NOPE.
now the damn thing will turn on, but neither the Keyboard nor Mouse will activate, no image is coming out of the vid card (the monitor works though) an I am shit outta luck.

Gypsy Curse
so many of you are probably wondering about the title. I have had a VERY bad day.....so bad I believe i have been gypsy cursed.
I wake up this morning shivering, cold and generally full of malaise. unfortunately, i cannot miss school, since i have a lovely test in physics. My condition worsens all day, no doubt helped by my lack of $$ for food. By the last period of the day, I have acquired a pounding headache to boot. finally i can go home, and as I am walking out the door, a good friend comes up and asks me if I had brought my copy of Monty Python and the Holy Grail to school. He had asked me if i could borrow it, but never specified when. BEING THE KIND SOUL THAT i am, (sorry, hit caps lock, didn't know it) i told him i would run home and get it, since i live like a mile from school and he needs it for a latin club party. i drive home, only to get a call from my brother, who is staying after for the party, asking me to grab him $5 for pizza. so i turn around, get him some money, and go back. Now by this time, I have not eaten all day, and my headache is approaching "gonna be sick" level. I drop off the stuff, go home, and eat some hummus and pita bread. I throw clothes in to wash, and lay down. get a call from mom, can i go get lil brother form babysitters. I explain I have no clothes but the pajamas im wearing, as the rest are in the wash. she says do it anyway. so i go to the sitters, get brother, go home, go to sleep. by this time it is about 5:00pm. I go throw my clothes in the dryer, and mom says she is gonna take lil bro to a dance at his school. I say fine, be quiet my headache is still kicking. I try to sleep, headache gets so bad I puke up dinner. finally, sleep. fast forward to 10:00pm. i wake up, mom is home with pizza. i debate whether to go partake. i get up, start downstairs. slip on stairs.
fall on hand
AGONY
I dont know whether i have broken or merely jammed my finger. I have an improvised splint made from unused Kabobs and duct tape. so how am I typing? slowly, and with one hand.
