On comps between classes. Problem with computer is the ethernet card that is on the motherboard is bad, or at least the computer doesn't even think there is an ethernet card when there is one. Also problems with the on/off because the instructions listed completely different ports/plugs than I actually had; also the super awesome video card I bought isn't working for reasons unknown so I have to use the onboard video card which isn't very good. So right now all my brand new computer is good for is playing Minesweeper.

And my back is really really hurting and I have no idea what I've done to it. Anyone know any surefire ways to help back pain that doesn't involve a chiropractor or a lot of money?
I am writing about Jm in my signature because apparently it's an effective method of ignoring him.

As I have no information about the board I think jumpers (on the board) could be responsible for switching the onboard network card on or off (if there are any) or in the bios for it to be enabled.

For the video card from my experience some boards need to be manually set in the bios to which interface to be used (pci or agp). I am not sure if that one is a Pci express graphics card. Maybe you tried all of this already.

Super awesome graphics card? That sounds nice. Mind stating the make?

I would expect on most boards for there to be some sign near the on/off switch. I noticed on the Tyan server board, the faulty one that there are indications so I had to download the manual.

Generalized Bitching: My roommate hooked the cable up to her TV last night, adding yet another thing to list of reasons why I can't fall asleep anymore (even with my Ambien working perfectly) without a pillow squeezed around my head.

And she watches MTV, BET, and all those horrible, horrible sitcoms...

(*TWITCH*)

(*TWITCHTWITCH*)

PAIN!
Check out my crappy drawings!

You need to tell her to STFU and turn the thing off and respect your need for sleep, Janey.

Spoon, I hope you get everything working. Computers can be tricksy business.

I paid a huge shipping bill now I get extra tax for it coming into the country for second hand goods just because it never went through the right places.

The $120 dollar Ti 92 plus calculator cost more than this yet I pay over half!

I am going to make my last orders for what I need then I will have to wait a couple of months to restore balance.

The second time there has been confusion.
Luckily I asked them to check. One of the controllers are faulty.
Two of the drives I ordered got stolen so I only get 6 scsi drives instead of 8 with a refund of the difference.

I predict the two boards I am going to get won't work.
I am so worried.

Complaint: I'm hiccuping so hard I can't sleep, and it's showing no signs of easing up after an hour.

God damn it.

My memories always come back to haunt me. I am so worried I coudn't get any sleep these past couple of days. I had nightmares that bring me back to the days of schools when I went to the interviews at colleges.

It felt so real, the stomach ache feeling, pounding heartbeat, stricken nerves, totally insecure and walking out after disagreements with them falling back when I required some assistance or to ask questions and their patronising behaviour by devaluing me with grades that were irrelevant to that one course I wanted to do. I passed the same course in under a year somewhere else, not four years at their stupid trenda predda college with all decorations everywhere as the answer to everybody's problems.

I have never ever walked out of an adult evening class whilst passing all my Maths and English exams there. I didn't feel insecure or worried attending there the first time. I knew who my teachers were. They told me what I needed to do but didn't demean or patronize me about trendy grades. Ugly floors, dirty place, less people but it felt so comfortable at night with the respect at the same level as the tutors. I leave with something but not nothing. Less excuses more organisation. Shame they don't do higher courses.

College, I pay a lot of money to do a course. They expect everything out of me, but fall back with excuses that they have "the mass majority to serve" and it wouldn't be equal to help just one person. I am worried about the class sizes. They rush everything and throw work at people's faces, excuse would probably be "we don't have time." The last college lied to me and I don't want another repeat of what happened in late 2005. Took me a long time to recover from that. They altered the time table (Three groups into one big class.) Excuse: Not enough people. Lying about how small the class sizes were going to be when I was interviewed. I never even saw the maths tutor. They made me feel like I was cheap despite passing the required courses to enter with over required grades before I left and so did eight other people. They were full of excuses all about funding issues which they never told me about from the beginning as they lied. The teachers attitude was disgusting to a student doing a lower level course behind the back. Rushing from page one to page sixty to a completely different topic. Do the rest for "homework." "No it's studywork you idiot!" They kept on making offers that don't stand or mean anything such as "When put together is equivalent to the tutoring arrangements you had before if the volunteer is free but you can only choose one of the options that might not be there" which is not equivalent because it wasn't put together or one quarter difference. Excuse "It's not economical" or "It's not cost effective." I wish for the environment to be the same as it was back in early 2004. Not in a college.

I have my own agenda to go by if I can't keep up as I did two years of work in that subject.

In attempt to satsify my insecurity I have been eating a lot of ice cream lately, all that would do is to make me go to toilet and probably put on weight. Shame I didn't think of it then.

I ordered a lot of stuff over Ebay. Not that it is linked as I was planning of buying some stuff a long time ago but it might be at a subconcious level.

Sorry about that expressing my concerns but it looks like I am going to suffer again.

Things I don't like about Emu:

(1) Girls are icky.
(2) My new year's resolution of beating her post count seems hopeless.
(3) Global warming is drowning the walruses.

(4) Quite sheepy too.
(5) Named after a series of sound cards.

I am being messed around by Useless Parcel Services. They arrive when they like assuming that I am going to be here all day. They are quick to take my money for tax.

Yeah, UPS can be pretty pathetic. If a package is early, they make sure it sits around and does nothing instead of getting it out for delivery until the day of or before it's supposed to arrive. I'm also sorry you've had such a terrible school experience. sad.gif

Complaint: It's September, and we're having highs in the lower 90s again. It's too hot for an aparment with all of the windows facing southish and only one fan in the window. It's New York. It's supposed to be snowing by now! tongue.gif (No, actually it usually snows and doesn't stick at the end of October or early November. It's really supposed to be cold and rainy now.)

School's going to be crazy this year. I'm in my final year, and the program coordinator is one of my Profs. Apparently if we're going to be working more than 15 hours at a part time job per week, the work load from the course along with it is going to cause a mental breakdown apparently.

Add to the fact that in the first 2 days of classes I already have 5 major projects staring me in the face... I'm going to be so busy and exhausted. sad.gif

At least when I'm done I can go get a good career! ...if I don't resume my studies for another few years at Uni. wub.gif lol.
PRECIOUS VELIUS....

Shame, I don't know what real hard work is like.
The hard work I am use to is just forced to sit around bored doing the same things over and over again.

I forgot a bargain on ebay. If ONLY I remembered in time. Instead I was waiting over the phone to UPS. Six seagate Cheetah drives 36 gigabytes each at 10,000 rpm. So cheap and half the size of the large ones too as I am short of two.

I feel ashamed of myself for forgetting before it ended.

Finally! I got the serverboard today and it works!
This should have happened a month ago.

I got put off of putting it into the case due to someone's loud music.

Annoyingly another stupid parcel company. They think they can come at anytime they like! 9.30 pm? Most people leave for work an hour and a half earlier or earlier than that and I wasn't even at home. Their delivery structure does not include a convenient time when people are there to collect the goods. Instead they waste petrol and time over trying to schedule journeys over efficiently. I have to phone them up and they take my money either for tax or the time I was on the phone to them to arrange delivery

Without the drives I can't do much and I am going out on Monday which is annoying that I might have to wait another day.

Next delivery I am going to have to make myself clear so I don't get messed around again.

This has happened three times these last two weeks.

Hooray for working computer parts! And I assume you meant am, not PM?

Complaint: I'm hungry for buffalo-style chicken somethings, but have no chicken right now. :-( Buffalo burgers aren't going to do it for me, and my meat isn't defrosted anyway.

You know I always put PM by mistake when I mean AM and the opposite way round. This time I forgot to change it. I would like to post a picture of my stuff but I don't like to share my stuff with people who don't share with me.

I'll show you when you are free.

One problem.

The Smart memory works inside. When I enable slow boot it freezes at 512 megabytes count. On fast boot and in bios setup it recognizes 5 gigabytes of memory. I am having a few problems with the Megaraid Enteprise 1600 card I brought from Ebay on that board but not on the others at first until I cleared the bios.

Oh I think the man made a mistake. I thought it was 2 gigabyte of memory. There is 4 gigabytes of memory.

At the moment I am formatting a drive so I can test it.
First partition, then second partition at 64 k clusters. I want to test the performance!

I would be busy and doing my testing if I received those drives today to put in raid.

Eight drives in raid. One hotspare.
