    Brain Surgery

    ByKim (Ceffyl) April 16, 2007April 18, 2007

    Here is some good news: first set of upgrades are complete. The portable has a new hard drive and 1 gig of ram. Boy is it much faster now! Updated the hard drive from a 4200 to a 5400 and from 512 to 1 gig of RAM. Cracked the case on the Mac mini. The…

    Poor little portable…

    ByKim (Ceffyl) April 14, 2007April 18, 2007

    It is really on it’s last legs. The drive is clicking every time it boots. It is throwing error messages (no hard drive found and PXE error on the ethernet card — says to check the cable because it’s not working properly). Since I bought the Mac Mini, which has been stable and rock solid….

    Chiropractor tonight

    ByKim (Ceffyl) April 11, 2007March 3, 2009

    The chiropractor came out tonight. Isis was sore (who knows from what). Maye she had been running out in the field and pulled something. Maybe she was sore from being worked (althoug once in a week wouldn’t seem to strain her). Isis has learned a trick: if she hops her hind end up, the accupuncture…

    Work and stuff

    ByKim (Ceffyl) April 10, 2007April 17, 2007

    One of my clients today pointed out that I’ve been overbooked. It hit hard, and also made me realize how much stuff I’m involved in that is not important. The last two to three weeks have been consumed with computer issues and trying like mad to finish things for deadlines. Stretched thin is the understatement…

    Bad Vista, No Donut

    ByKim (Ceffyl) April 9, 2007April 17, 2007

    The more people I’ve talked to about Vista, the more I refuse to use it. Vista was a major consideration in why I chose to purchase a Macintosh. Every person I know who has purchased a machine with Vista on it hates the operating system. It is also partially crippled, especially if you purchase any…

    Worked Isis (finally)

    ByKim (Ceffyl) April 8, 2007July 7, 2008

    I worked Isis in the surcingle and side reins. I need to clean her real saddle. The dressage saddle I’ve been using is too narrow now that she has regained some of her muscles. While I’ve briefly ridden her in the dressage saddle, it isn’t a good idea to do real work on her in…

    Test Software on Which Platform?

    ByKim (Ceffyl) April 7, 2007April 17, 2007

    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…

    Working on the Portable

    ByKim (Ceffyl) April 6, 2007April 17, 2007

    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…

    BBS: A blast from the past

    ByKim (Ceffyl) April 4, 2007

    Did you ever use a BBS (bulletin board system)? When I was in high school, I got hooked on BBSes. I started BBSing prior to the move to Tennessee after my freshman college year. In Tennessee when I met Mary Lou — she and her husband ran a BBS called Shadow Keep. It was a…

    Serenity Beats Star Wars as Favorite SF Movie

    ByKim (Ceffyl) April 3, 2007

    BBC News is reporting the results of a survey asking what the move popular science fiction movie of all time is. The winner was a surprise — Serenity, the movie based off of the single-season Firefly, beat out Star Wars, The Matrix, Blade Runner, Alien, and 2001: A Space Oddessy. The article text is available…

    Just too silly not to post

    ByKim (Ceffyl) April 2, 2007

    At work we’re researching press release distribution sites. We came across 1888 Press Release, a free press release disributor. (No clue why it’s called 1888 Press Release.) The sample press release on the front page includes a press release from the Teen Crisis Center in Las Vegas. The pull quote from the {sarcasm} well written…

    Death of a Hoover

    ByKim (Ceffyl) April 2, 2007April 2, 2007

    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…

    Kernel Panic and EIP on the Hoover

    ByKim (Ceffyl) April 1, 2007April 1, 2007

    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…

    Kernel Panic

    ByKim (Ceffyl) April 1, 2007April 1, 2007

    I’m receiving an error message right now. It appears to be pretty bad on the system. Might not be the Windows install. miht be something else. I load the LinuxLive CD for Mutagenix. Burned from an iso. Should be fine, as far as I can tell. CD starts the boot process and gives the following…
