| Fuckin Computer... |
[04 Jan 2008|01:27pm] |
Yea, that computer I typed on yesterday, that a select few of you were actually able to communicate with me? Fuggedaboutit, decided not to turn on today and was promptly beaten severely by the cloest blunt object I could find. So I ventured upstairs to try and figure out exactly what the fuck was wrong with my computer. While I might use the lingo, I am by no means what one would call "computer-saavy", so I decided to open the case up, take my camera, and videotape the inside of the tower, in the hopes that it might catch something at the point of malfunction, which would then lead me to the exact problem. Of course, I can't really upload a video right this moment, so I'm going to do my best to basically describe what I did and what occurred.
First, turned it on, loaded Windows XP, everything seemed to be okay. I wonderered that maybe it was the cpu or memory or something, since it would work for x amount of time and then just fuck up completely as if it was being pushed past the limit. Note however, that I checked the system diagnostics and neither one seemed to be performing at or near 100%. So I was running spyware scancs, try to do a disc cleanup, when the computer just shut down. Now, I don't mean powered off, because the power supply was still on and audible, but there was just a black screen on the monitor for about 5-10 seconds, until it restarted on its own.Brought up the "weird shutdown, choose startup mode", and I chose to load Windows normally. I tried to resume where I left off, but then it happened again, lasting even less this time. At this point I just sat back and watched as it constantly restarted itself, only to fail during the startup process and relive the entire ordeal again, like some bizarre mix of Tron and Groundhog Day. It got to the point where the black screen was lasting longer than the attempts to start the OS, so I mercifully turned it off and commenced typing this up to hopefully get some input(doing this on the wii, in case you're wondering). I've all but given up on understanding why this is happening, so I'm just telling as much of this as I can, hoping that someone will see something that my inexperience doesn't show me.
This is what the computer's got, to the best of my knowledge
2.08Ghz AMD Athlon(not 64 bit)
2 512MB DDR DIMM(just copying what's on them) RAM cards
ATI x850Pro 256MB AGP video card, and the monitor is connected through the DVI output, if it makes a difference
400W Dynex power supply(upgraded from a 350, and a 300 before that)
Samsung DVDRW drive
Generic CDRW drive that came with the computer, doesn't really work or get used
SoundBlaster PCI soundcard
2 rear fans, one of which doesn't spin properly because the fan seems to be misaligned and keeps hitting the top part of it's holder-thingy, one side fan
Other than all this, just a random 3.5" drive
Also, the restart thing also happened when I tried starting Windows in both the "last successful configuration" and in safe mode.
That's all I've got, if anyone has any input, it'd be appreciated, and if you have more question or need more details, fire away.
Fuckin technology...
Also, does anyone know if you can charge an ipod through the usb ports on either a playstation 2 or a Wii?

Post these instructions in your LiveJournal along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening to.
SONGS:
1. Ghoul - Splatterthrash
2. Boris - Kane the Bell Tower of a Sign
3. Strapping Young Lad - You Suck
4. Annhilator - Demon Dance(I love the riff in this song, but oh my god, these have to be the absolute worst fucking vocals I've ever heard. This song is the definition of mixed emotions.)

Yes, I changed it again...I'm fickle. For some reason lately I've had this fixation with blood...so here we are. Nothing of importance to report on. Life still racks my brain, and I'm faced with many questions and dilemmas I'm not even close to answering. But that doesn't matter...these are matters for me to deal with on my own. Carry on, nothing to see here.
Also, I'm going to start cross-posting this with my GJ, so no need to have to look me up on there.

Lykathea Aflame - An Old Man and a Child |

How is it that such simple things can be so perplexing? The easiest situation can become a mess of tangled thought and dilemmas in an instant. STOP FUCKING WITH MY FEEBLE MIND! Humanity seems to have it set in stone to keep me as confused as possible, as much of the time as possible. It's not fucking fair. I see a situation...I take my time, analyzing every little aspect of it, wanting to make sure I approach from the right angle. I carefully plan it out and calculate the possible backfires, and plan out those. Then, I'm hit with a curve...a pitch I never saw coming...a bullet I never heard fired...and then I'm back at square one. Observing. Planning. Wondering. What in the fuck just happened, and where did it go wrong?

In Flames - Clayman |
] |
Dear civilization.
I'm afraid there's something I have to break to you. After 19 and a half long years...I've come to realize that it's not going to work out between us. The truth is that...I've found someone else. GTA:San Andreas. Now, I know what you're thinking; I barely know GTA. And it's true, we just met today. But as I sit here typing this to you, GTA lies in front of me, and I just get this feeling that the two of us are meant to be. This is going to blossom into an amazing relationship. Unfortunately, I don't have time for both of you, if ya get my drift...
Long story short, you aren't going to be hearing from me in a while. Now, I'm not going to cut you off completely; that would just be cruel. But you need to know that you are no longer my top priority. We will be seeing much less of each other in the coming days, weeks, months, etc. Don't take it personally though. I do treasure the times we've shared, and I have many warm memories from these past years. This wasn't an easy choice, but it had to be done. I will miss you, but I hope that you can respect my need to move on.
Sincerely,
OD
