I love my computer

I love this machine so much I want to throw it off of the bal­cony. Every once in a while it has been com­pletely lock­ing up on me. Of course it hasn’t been hap­pen­ing with any reli­ab­il­ity, so if I were to take it in to a tech shop they would return it with no trouble found more than

Forcing it.

Not much is hap­pen­ing here. I’ve been read­ing a lot. mostly Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series. It’s pretty okay; engross­ing enough for the time being. I might be start­ing to get burned out at work, but I’m not sure, maybe I’m just start­ing to get cyn­ical. Either way, I think some time off is going to be

So, what’s new?

Things change, though not always drastic­ally. The accu­mu­la­tion of small changes even­tu­ally develop into a major change though. I still work for a local Tech Support com­pany, as I have for a little over two years. When I first star­ted, my only com­puter know­ledge was some basics about Linux, minor troubleshoot­ing of Windows sys­tems, and what Mac OS looked like. Now,

Plagiarist

Perhaps my views on soft­ware pir­acy relate here, people jus­tify soft­ware theft by say­ing that it’s just 1’s and 0’s on the Internet. Well a book is just ink stains on paper, should I be allowed to scan a best selling

Ahhh!

I moved my com­puter into the liv­ing room today and attached it to the tele­vi­sion screen, I also dug up my wire­less key­board and mouse. I may have to do this more often.  I’m a little proud of my com­puter, it’s the first one that I built from scratch using all new and actu­ally decent parts. I’ve got an Antec

Okay! Writin’ stuff

I have a note­book in my pocket. Ostensibly this is so that if I have a sud­den inspir­a­tion to write, or some ran­dom idea jumps in to my head and I must tell the world about it, I have a place to take notes. I can jot down a bit of an out­line so that the thought or idea doesn’t get lost in

Lets start off with some good news!

I’m cur­rently work­ing towards get­ting some tech cer­ti­fic­a­tions. I’ve passed the CompTIA A+ Essentials at this point, now I want to do a bit more study­ing before tak­ing the bench tech­ni­cian cert. After that I will prob­ably pur­sue the Linux + papers. That will give me a good base for CompTIA. I’ll prob­ably look into get­ting one of the
