The good news: New PC has POSTed clean, CPU is happy, and (using my nLite automated ‘barebone’ CD) I was running XP within 30 minutes.
The bad news: The original DIMM pair (from AData) was *also* DOA; Well, one DIMM is shot anyway. I gave up and got a pair of OCZs from [...]

Crazy Weekend (and its only early Sat!)
Yesterday was, of course, this insane ‘Black Friday’ thing – the beginning of what may be another wild run of traffic woes for me (as I drive at odd hours).
Since there was a good chance I was going to end up sitting in traffic trying to get home yesterday (since my workday – worknight? – [...]
Hmm… What Did I Just Get Myself Into?
After the previous rant, I decided to bring up Fantastico for the first time in almost a year and have it update Wordpress.
Boy, was THAT a mistake (Upgrading 2.1.3 to 2.3.1); Implosion-city, a first in two years with the site. Thankfully between Fantastico’s really good backup facility and my having access to a shell, [...]
Enough With the Spambots Already!
I’d like to remind spambots and trolling bots that just about everything is moderated here.
You will not get your trackback or pingback unless I say so.
You will not get the comment until the first has been OK’d by me (and for real posters, this is a win/win as I may read and RSS-link your site).

The Next PC – Considerations
As I mentioned previously, I’m in the middle of working on my next PC. I’ve been using a Shuttle SN25P for about 1.5 years and its beginning to show some problems (most of which are probably due to the single-core Athlon 3500+).
The most telling thing about my recent Myst Online experience is this screenshot [...]
Re-Returning – And an Apology
*wave*
First of all, I’d like to apologize to various folks both in MystBlogs and in Myst/Uru in general. It’s been a horrifically busy few months, and I’ve not been that out-of-touch in some time.
Anyway, there’s lots to talk about what I’ve been doing during that time, but it summarizes to:
-> Travian Endgame in S1.com, [...]
Water, Water, NoWhere…
Thanks to the Hoboken411 weblog, I’ve learned why all the stores here were closed (and water is flying off the food store shelves!).
We’ve had a water main break just south of here in Jersey City. Comments there say it was caused by accident while construction workers were fiddling around the pipe. *sigh* oh [...]
Fun With Regulations (and the companies who love them)
OK, out of the gutter folks (for those who understood that reference in the title). I don’t normally talk about work, but I feel it important to my fellow MystBloggers and others in the Myst/Uru community to explain why I’ve been (mostly) out of touch since late March.
It’s no secret – to those who [...]
