Big Brother State

Here's a small clip about the Big Brother State

the day the world collapsed

well last monday i tried to get my new 320gb hard drive formatted. but my comptuer would not complie. then when i put it into my brothers it worked. so then i had another problem. what was in my comptuer that was making the format crash and not making windows crash. well the problem was my ram and motherboard would give erratic errors. eg if left on for more than 2 hours memtest 64 would find errors in the first 10sec but if the comptuer was left off for a couple of hours then turned on. then memtest 64 would not find any errors and windows would boot normally. so now i have brought a new motherboard and ram and had a bit of a scare trying to get the old cpu off the old motherboard and onto the new motherboad.

 

the problem was that after 3 years being together they did not want to come apart. so when i pulled off the heatsink the cpu came with it. right out of the slot :O:O:O. and it sould not come off with my finger nail betweenthe heat sink and cpu. so i had to use a screw driver flat heard to nudge it off. which worked :) only prob was the the cpu came off and fell 30cm onto some plastic pin's first :O. so i tried to put it into its slot but it would not fit because 1 pin was bent. so i had to carefully get the twisers out and with my hands shaking from all the scares bend the pin back. then it fited :).

 

i put the comptuer back together again and left the drives unconnected and booted up memtest to run when i was at work and it came up with 0 errors :) for 8+hours.

 

my next problem is formatting a drive with xp without the xp cd ;)

 

i'll find a way.

uni begins. time off work

well now uni has started the amount of time i work has now been compressed into 3 days and one extra for front end. i've moved to produce :) so much easyer. caught up with naomi. seems she wanted to get away from one of her housemates at her old place. she also lost her phone so it was very difficult to track her done. but i did :). she now lives in taringa. my mums having her 50th birthday party this saturday coming. its going to be sweet :)

another day another trip

today i dropped my brother off at school then went to uni to check out my classes and to see if i could get some free stuff. alas i'm a week early :(. will try next week. when i wondered around i saw some really cool moniters being installed. lcd widescreen. massive displays for use uni students to use. hope i don't get to addicted to them else i'll need to go buy one for home use ;). came home and walked my brother home. then started to cook dinner. its now boiling down to spegatti sauce. i also got fed up with the fan on my brothers graphics card so i pulled it apart and oiled it as well as cleaned out all the dust from it. hope it runs real good and quiter now.

working, working and more working

well this weekend i am doing one 9hours shift and one 10hour shift. 1pm to 10pm and 12pm to 10pm. those are some long days :( but the cash is good :) hope it keeps coming.

extra work from no where.

now heres something you don't see everyday. my work had me rostered for only 4 hours this week. but i have been chatting to one of the higher ups about my position and it seems i have accidently been stranded between 2 departments which leaves me in a bit of a spot. because of it, i'm back to causal rates and also no hours. i'm use to 20 hours a week, well not working them persee but the cash flow from those hours. and its the middle of the week. wednesday and i get a phone call from work asking if i could work. well of course i say yes. and then i get 26hours + the 4 hours i work at darra. so i'm over the moon but i bet my body will be on the floor sleeping by the end of the 4 day hike.

the first post in months

time has seems to have slipped away from me over the last couple of months. its seems like it was only November when i put in my last post. allot has happened to me over the last 3 months. uni's about to start. i had a big paycheck from working boxing day. worked 22 hours or more for the last 4 weeks but my contract ended and i'm out of work for a week fingers crossed its only a week.
