Many things have happened, time for an massive update.

Friday, September 18th, 2009

Howdy,

Many things have happened over the past few months, and well the past year since I have really updated with anything definitative.

As many know, I lost my job with Wal-Mart in early June (the 11th), for reasons I don’t want to go into. I spent most of that month, and July job searching. I found a job at Stop & Shop (where I used to work, when I first moved here) on Sun July 26th.

I have had some fun though!! During the Memorial Day weekend I went camping with some local friends up in Maine, outside of Bath. We did the same thing this past Labor Day!

I have also bought a new netbook; An Acer Aspire One 751h-1279 — Intel® Atom™ Processor Z520 (1.33 GHz); 2GB DDR2 667 SDRAM; 250GB hard drive, multi-in-one card reader; 11.6″ WXGA (1366 x 768) TFT display, Acer® CrystalBrite Technology; Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 500; 802.11b/g WLAN, 10/100 LAN, webcam; sapphire blue chassis; three-cell battery.

Well… I can’t think of anything else right now… I am failing at writing, which is why I haven’t posted lately.

Anyways. I hope to hear from everyone soon!

Graphics Card Went… XFX GeForce 8600GT, 256MBDDR3 (PCI-E, DVI)

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

This past weekend, I went on vacation, my desktop was working
*purrrfect*

 I come home on Tuesday, and it is broken… I was like WTF?!?

 I had pink and red dashes going across the screen, even during BIOS, and
when I tried to load my OS, XServer Crashed.

 Today, I opened up the case and took out the graphics card, and look
what I found. BLOWN CAPS. YAY!!!

 It is a XFX GeForce 8600GT, 256M BDDR3 (PCI-E, DVI PV-T64J-UDD3)

At least it has onboard video, and no blown caps on the Mobo.

 Gah, not that happy about this xD
