Today

[Joan Archer]

Nice to see you back NinaJay, glad you had a good holiday.

Sorry about your troubles Kari although if I'm blunt getting drunk wont make it any better just give you a sore head

 

[johnwillyums]

Yes, welcome back Ninajay

Also sorry to hear about your work problems Kari. Thought I hadn't heard from you for a while.
I hope everything works out for you and you don't have to "let someone go" as we euphemistically say in the UK (sack them is what it means)

To go back a couple of posts; is it possible to mount Chikungunya on it's own partition?

Happy new year to all and I hope the upturn turns up for you Kari

Well, Kari ... this is the "Chillout room" so rant away! Having owned and operated businesses in the past, I understand how you can not foresee the future or control the actions of others. The best one can do is to make the best decisions possible based on the information at hand. You seem to me to be a person of exceptionally good character. All business persons eventually come to value that, even if they do not share your convictions (what I mean is that a thief who doesn't steal from another thief values honesty, even though he is a thief). I believe the good ones (good business persons) will flock to you because of your good character. By the end of 2010, this temporary setback will just be a vague memory!

Enough of the "Cheers!" mate! Go eat some corn chips, go home, and let your wife support you emotionally like she wants to be able to do!

Oh ... and come back and rant all you need to!

Well folks, today is the day I start training for my new career as a Computer Systems Technician-Networking,(2 year program) at our local community college.
After spending 35 years in the Tool and Mould industry and being a victim of the economic downturn, I am really looking forward to changing my computer hobby into a career and hopefully getting full time employment once I am finished.
Now I need to go shake my head a bit to clear the cobwebs out and get the brain in learning mode again. Lol.
Wish me luck.

 

[spinifex]

Wish me luck.

Most definitely the best of luck to you.
Once you get started, you will more than likely feel right at home, doing what you love.

Good Luck! Maybe if it is already your hobby it won't feel so much like work.

Today I logged on to sevens forum for the first time in ages...

How is everyone??

I have been away on holidays and loving it. Back to reality now.

Still don't have my computer but at least they have admitted there IS a problem.

"the problem appears to be associated with the graphics card. We are uncertain at this stage if it is because of software or hardware"

well, duuuuhhhh! I told you that a MONTH ago. LOL.

*sigh*

So how is everyone?? Miss me?

Hi NinaJay missed you around here... hope you had a great holiday!
Is your puter in for repairs locally? Is there anything I can do to help?

 

[Pieloi]

Today there was a big heap of snow, and it really annoyed me, so I covered it in kerosene and killed it, yeah, how'd you like that ? Stupid snow..

 

[Tews]

Today i stuck my nose outside for the first time in days ... decided it was too cold and brought my nose back inside ...

I like that. Gonna have to borrow it.

Today the books I ordered arrived. "Windows 7 Inside and out" and "Windows 7 Resource Kit". The new lappy should be here Thursday or Friday.

Today I remembered why I had a policy never to throw out any old working components . I decided that I would never need the box of old bits when I moved recently. Today I found a need for a 2x AGP graphics card for a broken system, there were at least two of them in the bits box

Oh well just means will have to see if anyone else locally has any spare as I don't want to spend a clients money on one as I'm not even sure the system just has a failed on Board graphics or something more serious

I wish that anyone who had spare parts would pass them on to me

You were gone? :huh:


Nah, seriously, good to see you back Nina

Sorry to disappoint on the local front - I have a perfectly good Riva TNT2 Ultra 32mb still floating around here some where.

 

[Barman58]

Thank Patrick,

eBay have several 128MB cards, (part worn), starting about £4.99, (on But-It-Now), so shouldn't be a major issue to grab one of those and try it.

Even if it turns out that it's, more than a M/B graphcs subsystem fault, it'll be a useful spare to have to hand for the future

 

[sergiogarcia9]

Today.... I got a Email from Novatech (the place i ordered my new PC) with my package label in a PDF format (i know that sounds weird)
Then 2 hours ago, they took the money from my account.
So i'm counting on it being sent from the UK tomorrow, and i should have it by friday

 

[Uber Philf]

Today, i went PC parts shopping, looking for everything, this part of the world is far behind AUS US and UK as far as PC technology is concerned, i can't seem to locate myself a DDR3 Mobo nor a pair of DDR3 RAM sticks to go with it..or a Nvidia GTX 295, or a Core i7.

Visiting the capital Manilla soon, so lets hope they have there.

actually you will have this trouble more places than not, i've always had problems finding top of the line components at local retailers and i've lived in large cities until just recently, mostly the market isn't large enough to justify keeping those items on hand. on a side note all i really did today was play mafia wars and help my sister with a design project.... still not sure she understands if she wants a career in graphic design i'm not going to have the free time to keep up with her needs and she should really learn how to do it all on her own.

Orpheous - I bought it from scorptec (down south), chose the parts myself and got them to build it. When it arrived I was getting BSoD right after installing windows 7. Tried to resolve it myself with the help of some folks on here but I couldn't fix the issue so I sent it back and asked them to take a look. I received an email from them today saying they have shipped it back with an invoice for $0. I assume that the problem was with the new hardware and they have repaired it free of charge. I'll get it back next week. If I have any problems, I'll let you know since you're local and all
