That new server I’m building? Won’t boot. No POST, no beeps (and I had to drive all around town looking for a PC Speaker since for some reason Gigabyte doesn’t include an on-board speaker. WTF?) There are rumblings on the intertubes that even though Gigabyte says the CPU I bought is compatible with this motherboard,… Read More »
Naienko is very happy about this, but starting tomorrow night, the only time she’s going to see me for ten days is when she’s dropping me off and picking me up from the airport. This weekend, a buddy of mine is having a truly geeky bachelor party. None of us are really into the bar… Read More »
CSI:Rural TN. Yesterday, the big story around here was that 4 people died in a house fire. It was a couple in their 70s and their two grandchildren. In one of the stories I read, the sheriff said that it was difficult getting to one of the children’s bodies because he was special needs. They… Read More »
I’ve gotten a couple of delivery notifications today. I think all my stuff is in for the new media server. Based on the comments to the last post, I’m guessing there is a desire for a write-up on how I actually put the thing together?
I just got an identical spam email from two email accounts belonging to friends. I don’t have any confirmation from tech news sites, but it looks to me that Yahoo email passwords have been compromised. If you have one, I’d change your password just to be safe.

And I’m about to do it again. I bought my last one about four and a half years ago for less than I could’ve built one. Quad core, lots of memory, dual head PCIx video card…$400-ish. Well, that one just died in less than spectacular fashion. Again. The drive I got two months ago is… Read More »
What do you do when your 17 year old son is killed during a drug deal in your own home? Blame the gun. By all accounts, the “good kid” was the dealer in that case. Also note the journalistic malpractice committed here. They mention a man who was killed in an attempted robbery on Saturday,… Read More »
So last night my wife comes in from “last call” with the dog and says that there’s a huge spider outside. She was right. Effer was HUGE. That’s a 12″ square paver, for scale. I got brave and went close enough to take this one: That abdomen is about the size of an acorn. When… Read More »
