This one poses a rhetorical question. "Don't you just hate it when things end?". I do. I spent most of my youth in change, my father was in the armed forces so I had to leave everything I knew every three years or so. Friends, homes, toys, and sometimes even country's left for another three years at least. Well, not friends or homes, I never could go back to those. Anyways back to the point, a close friend and I have just broken up. We weren't getting along well at all, fights and things all of the time and recently we came across something that we just couldn't get past. So instead of just fading out, we decided to sit down and talk about it. And at the end of the convo we just decided that this wasn't working and we should end it. It was a teary goodbye, neither of us wanting to go, but there is only so much flogging a dead donkey you can do before you realise that it isn't not going to move anymore. So to my special friend. I love you, night night. ---------- 24/4/2005 @ 8:1 (GMT) *Sigh* Another day of computer hell. Last night my computer decided to throw a complete fit and die on me. And it wasn't one of these "I'll reboot a few times and pretend the RAID array is damaged" fits, although they are bad enough, it was a "Lets bump off one of the RAM sticks" fit. Consequently I spent most of the night running Memtest86 trying to find out if the problem lay in RAM or not. From the first look it seems RAM was the problem, and I spent all night worrying about fixing the PC. I woke up this morning and Memtest was still running (although I was sure I left the PC unplugged) and surprise surprise, all of the tests had passed with no problems. So now I was stumped. The overnight tests were run on stock settings, so the problem had to be in the timings right? So I boosted the voltage of the RAM to 2.8v and tried again. More problems. So I lowered the timings from 2-3-2-5 to 2-3-3-7. Nope still problems. So I tried 2.5-3-3-7, which worked. Now I'm confused. Anyways, to cut a long story short, The PC eventually worked, and just as I was getting used to having slower timings, it died again. Cursing the dammed thing I ripped out one of the sticks of RAM and tested it on its own. It worked ok, so I tested the second stick. This seemed to work ok, but after a few tests it died and showed me all of the faults. I tested it on a few timings and it repeatedly died. So I replaced it with the first stick and blasted it with tests. And the first stick passed with no problems. So there's the answer - a faulty stick of RAM. God knows how it died (heat?) but it is being packed off to Ebuyer in the morning anyways. You have to give credit to Ebuyer, they must have an automated RMA number system, as I applied for an RMA which was waiting to be approved, and 30 mins later it was accepted and I got an RMA. Hopefully they'll be able to get me a decent stick of RAM back soon, my system does not like Windows XP64 with only 512MB, its getting slower than my laptop! ---------- 23/4/2005 @ 18:53 (GMT) Ok since the webcast the other night I"ve been thinking about a play on "The Raven" poem by Edgar Allan Poe, for the launch of the dual-core processor. And this is the best I"ve come up with, with the help of Clare. I"m no poet so apologies if it doesn"t quite follow the structure of the original poem, or quite rhyme properly, but if anyone has any suggestions as how to improve it, let me know! Once upon a morning dreary, I was awakened weak and weary, I fired up my default browser, pointed at the pm linking, So I sat there for members; coming into the chatroom we had not paid for, Once upon a midnight dreary For many a quaint and curious website of X-rated lore I resisted strange and lurid websites of hot sex galore, 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | |
