>So the data restore didn’t work. I tried a bootable CD ISO I found, I tried the program that I mentioned in the shareware and got my old VISTA information. I had formatted the drive that had VISTA on it and copied over all my Documents. In any case nothing worked so I installed:Wing Commander Prophecy (It’s recommended you have a 3DFX to play) I found a few files that enable Wing Commander: Prophecy to play on Windows XP and boom, all the weird skipping and interlaced videos went away. It’s actually a really fun game. I don’t think I’ve…
HD Crash
I may be jumping the gun, but there are many many files left to scan so I’ve got to do something. One of my SATA HDs crashed, my first 80Gig Western Digital. It appears the HD is technically OK because S.M.A.R.T. wasn’t triggered but I can’t get anything off it. Normally I just say “oh well” and do without, but this time I really needed to make sure I got all the data off it. My “My Documents” folder happened to be on this particular drive, so there are various cracks, save game files, configuration files, and other bits that…
Jeff Goldblum is Watching You Poop
Here’s an oldie:Jeff Goldblum is Watching You Poop. I was sad becausejeffgoldblumiswatchingyoupoop.comhas shut down, or stopped paying their bill, or soemthing. I figured I could at least restore it via it’s own subdirectory.The page isn’t there yet, but the image is. The idea is to print out as many as you can, bring a roll of masking tape, and put them inside every stall you see. Many people can then feel the pang of self-deficating humor.

Quote of the day comes from Minnesota: “They only left the squirrel,” she said, shaking a bag of frozen squirrel that she pulled from the freezer. This is great, there’s a compaign for a newbie to be NHL All Star. Right now there’s only 2 guys in front of him. I say it’ll be great if this guy gets the vote. He’s a write in, so choose…

>RAM Ramblings
>I found this guy’s site while looking for something about RAM. I like the site, the LAIN pic at the top caught my eye. It reminds me a lot of myself a couple years ago, I guess cause I’m not as into Anime as I once was. There’s still similarities, but I like to think I blog more emotionally… and the below will demonstrate: I just installed 4 new DDR 400 modules in my PC in order to get Dual Channel 400mhz. I ended up reading these particular GEIL value brands are rather good at Overclocking, especially for a value…
>New Years 2006
>It was a fun time, with wii, kareoke, foos, and laughing on the porch.*update* Just for you Jay -> *PING!*The food was plentiful, as was the drink. I remember select moments, so please elaborate via comments if you were there (or if you weren’t and would like to pretend, I’ll allow it). I remember fiddling with the computer – 3 days of making sure everything was installed, the settings were right, and everything was good to go in order to allow a smooth demo presentation of the fun that is the monster machine with the graphics, and the various controlers…
>SNL – "My Dick in a Box"
>Merry Christmas from the SNL XMAS episode with Justin Timberlake. I actually think this was funnier when I thought they were saying “It’s my cock in a box!” but it’s just great to hear it unedited. I think it’s the hard C K & X sounds, not rhyming or illiteration, but it just sounds right.D K X mixes it up a little too much.
>Anti Elf Anthem
>This little ditty won the contest for “Best Warcraft Movie”. I know, it’s lame, but it’s funny, and well done. It’s really sad that those level 60 chaps have nothing better to do. Raise the roof! Raise the roof, let those without lives become martyrs. *updated*Speaking of level 60 – The Ballad of the N00b is a rather comical musical tale. (modifier modifier modifier)
>7800GX2
>I don’t have exact numbers right now, but after receiving my cards and doing a couple of a tests – I have not found as large of a difference as I thought. I went up to a 7800 3D Mark, but that’s without any AA, which is what’s really supposed to be helped by these particular cards. Running the super high resolution of 2650 x 1600 is possible, and even playable, but not smooth. I clocked it down to 1600 x 800 for Need for Speed Most Wanted and that seemed an ideal resolution. I’m able to run FlatOut2 at…
>SPT Intake
>I saw someone else searching for “cleaning SPT intake” and realized I never actually figured out how to do it. I know you unscrew the clamp, but whether you’re supposed to just brush the surface or actually use water is where I’m wondering. In any case after an inspection it was just fine, so not needing a cleaning after 3 oil changes.
>The first step…
>It may not be the first step… but it's progressing.I've just purchased a book for $40 entitled: Microsoft ADO.NET 2.0 – Step By StepBuilding Database Applications in .NET 2.0 I was attempting to teach myself via the examples and forums on the web. Unfortunately I was mixing the 3 different ways of doing things and twisting myself up in my own inferences about what was needed as a basic groundwork. I was setting it up programatically then dragging and dropping, and apparently the drag and drop adds extra bits (table adapters) that interfere with the programatic way I was attempting…

Should everything go blahooi (and it has) I just republish from blogger. Anyhow, I’ll stick with old blogger till they kick me out.At any rate: FRENCH – check it out.

I finally got moving on my access to VB.NET OLEDB connector goodness Survey program and almost got there by the end of the day… then found the right settings for the DB which would have done the trick but they did something to corrupt the code. It wouldn’t load and I’m going to have to strip it out and start over. I have to get it done by the 2nd week in…

Elegant sexy creates a sexy look from otherwise conservative clothing.
