SONY SUCKS

SONY SUCKS MORE THEN AN INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH PENIS PUMP!!!!!

ok so those of you that know me. I kinda blamed my friend Robin for the death of my sony laptop. I thought he fried the graphics proc when he left on his bed covering the thermal ducts... well Sorry Robin the death of the laptop isn't your fault. Apparently that model had a bad habit of the ram slot 2 failing. Apparently there are a group of people getting ready to file a class action suit against Sony since they were such douche bags to make faulty machinery in their laptops.

Notice after I pulled the whole laptop apart and found out that a lot of stuff was working. I tried replacing a few of the ribbon cables... those didn't work, but were damaged in my tinkering. I thought I had checked both ram slots, but aparently my kingston stick was bad aswell. oops. So once I used a verified good stick in both slots it started consistently booting... How did I come to this fix? I found an online thread of other sony users that are having the same problem. here it is. http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/5449/ if you are having the same problem follow their advice.

Well I have a debain install to attend to night all.

damn its midnight

I'm bored. I'll start out by saying that. My GF is sick, and I'm contemplating installing linux on my main desktop. but first I want to backup my files. Sigh, what distro should I use? debian or gentoo. Install Apache and get a job selling/fixing computers. yay I fucken hate it when people fuck up on their end and other people have to pay for it.

Now time to talk about some real stuff. Apple has recently decided to switch to intels x86 architecture instead of IBM's PowerPC. From the mac users that I have talked to they dont seem to care too much since the PowerPC is still in existence in a big way, and from what I have heard from a few people apple accounted for something like 2% of IBM's PowerPC sales in the past year. Now for you hard core gamers out there that are playing with yourself over the release and specs of the PS3 here is a fact for you. The Cell processor that is going to really debue is a RISC processor which is the same architecture as the PowerPC! Wohoo your new playstation and your old mac are going to get along great.

Now onto something else I want to hear what people think about Java! Post your comments!!!!

F* the world

Well had a meeting with my boss and one of the key quotes I got out of the meeting was "your not the next Bill Gates" well my reply to that is: No i'm not the next Bill Gates, no I'm not the next anything, I'm me and I will acheive my goals and fuck anybody that says otherwise. I dont want to walk in someone elses footsteps I want to make my own path and make my own way. I hate it when people are like wow your soo gonna be the next . No I'm not I may be similar to them is some strange way but I'm not going to just be them. I'm going to do it my way and see what happens.

So now that I'm done with that an update. I'm in Mesa AZ in java training. Its a great review. I'm just glad the the 2K to get here wasn't my money. Now on to this summer of code that I just found out about. I guess I have been away from the online world for a while. Its a cool idea, but it seems like everyone who is doing it is in it for the money. I have already started playing with an opensource project... Well on second thought it isn't hosted anywhere yet so its more of a msg/email the creator and get the latest code. Hopefully we will have it in a CVS tree pretty soon. Its nothing special or fancy just an IRC client written in java. I'm mainly in it so I can learn about IRC and then have a util that I really know and I know is compatible with a few plugins I'm planning on writing.

Otherwise the summer is good and I'm starting to enjoy myslef... well once I get back home from Mesa... yah this place blows I'm on foot and the nearest night club is a discotech after that there is a strip club like 35 mi from my hotel... Crap oh well it just means that I'm spending my time in my hotel room watching TV and reading.

Lattas All

I havn't been around for a while

Yay I got an apartment, a girlfriend, and I just set up her laptop.

Go old dell laptops. Well back at work and its ok.

I'm excited about going to Phoenix this Sun for a week of sun training on java. Then I get to go back to work. The commute totaly sucks, but it is good job experience.

Ohh and on another note I got my liquid cooling sys working on my desktop. This thing is soo cool. Literally as of now I'm running at about 9 degrees Farenheit over ambient. And that is generated from the internal sensors in my processors. Now I just have make an enclosure for my pump, and radiator/fans. I also have to drill some holes in my case so I can run the tubes out. What I may do is make it so the tubes are detachable from the inside of the case.

I'm going to need another pump if I expand my system anymore.

Well lattas all
