I updated the look of the blog today with a new theme. The new header image is of Isis. Just had to put my baby there, since she is the mischeivious horse. Tweet

Fun with Windows

by Ceffyl Aedui on April 1st, 2007 at 12:55
Posted In: Tech

Okay. I hate Windows. I hate it with a passion, especially now that Vista is coming out. My desktop is having issues (think it’s a memory problem). On Thursday evening I was trying to get my desktop to behave. I had a book layout due on Friday and desperately needed to get some work done. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Kernel Panic and EIP on the Hoover

by Ceffyl Aedui on April 1st, 2007 at 14:13
Posted In: Tech

The Hoover (desktop — CPU fan sounds like a vaccuum cleaner) is sick. Very sick. Can’t get it to boot using BartPE, Windows XP Pro installation CD, or Linux Live CDs. This is serious. The Mutagenix Linux Live CD barely got started booting when it threw serious error: Kernel panic – not syncing: Attempted to […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The desktop is dead. I bought new ram. It booted once when I took the bad and put in the new sim. I shut it down to reconnect everything. Went to the kitchen for a drink, came back and could smell something burning. Now it won’t boot at all. Have tried everything I can think […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Working on the Portable

by Ceffyl Aedui on April 6th, 2007 at 19:54
Posted In: Tech

This portable is SLOW. Not just slightly slow, but right-click-wait-15-seconds-to-redraw-menu slow. It is painful to use. The hard drive clicks whenever the machine boots, and about 50% of the time it won’t even load Windows. It throws a hard drive and ethernet card error message (boot disk not found and PXE error on ethernet recheck […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Test Software on Which Platform?

by Ceffyl Aedui on April 7th, 2007 at 20:48
Posted In: Tech

One of my clients emailed me two products to update. I have to run their software on either the portable (ha! not without some MAJOR upgrades) or on the Mac Mini. The Mini is almost out of hard drive space and would definitely need more RAM to run Parallels (virtual machine for Windows) and the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
