Well today was a regular blast. I finaly got my machine back up to snuff dual boot working wonderfuly.
So my wife had this wonderful idea, lets go to the park with the kids ( that includes my two 6 year old nephews) and my 2 rug rats. Sure why not I say it's a nice day today the sky is of a deep blue and there is not a cloud in the sky.
Most of the afternoon was uneventful up untill it was time to leave. My nephew James who loves to rough house all the time kept kicking me and every time he would I was just trip him up and dump him on his ass. I decided to just tackle him and take him to the ground. What ended up happening was I lost my footing and started to fall with him underneath me. Instead of landing the child I tried my best to shift my weight and ended up with my elbow in my ribs and a loud snaping sound. Knocked the wind out of myself and actually thought I broke a rib or two.
Fast foward to where I am at the hospital. I tell you I think that most nurses must think they are comedians. The first words out of her mouth are where does it hurt. Well stupid didn't you read the fucking chart?? then the next question on a scale of one to ten, ten being the worst how would you rate you pain. This one is easy IM IN FUCKING PAIN STUPID I would say between 6 when I am not moving to about 10 when you asked me to remove my shirt any other questions oh wise one???? 5 hours to take X rays have a doctor look at me and then release me. I tell you there is something seriously wrong with our medical institutions. Good thing I came via ambulance as opposed to going to the E.R. or I might still be there.
So how was your day?
A guy goes to see his doctor and tells him doc it hurts when I do this the doctor tells him well quit doing that. |

Being the self proclaimed PC guru and self righteous arrogant bastard that I am, it amazes me how careless I can be at time. When ever someone calls and asks me to be their personal help desk I always preach the values of defraging a hard drive keeping anti-virus programs up to date etc etc etc. But do I do these things myself NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Case in point. I recently installed Linux with just a very basic understanding of the OS ( now I am forced to use it btw)
Well to make a long story short my hardware is on the verge of critical failure all the applications and personal crap that I had amassed on my other non Linux hard drives can't be accessed since the NTFS loader decided to become fucking MIA and when ever I try to boot the system it take the better half of 10 minutes just to get off of the BIOS screen. I tell ya I am just seconds away from taking this 14 lbs piece of headache inducing machinery placing it in the middle of my road and just running it over repeatedly with my car. Then for good measure hit it with a 10 lbs sledgehammer and the final insult just piss on the fucking shattered remains. This may or may not be my last post for a while depending on how my PC behaves that is.
Ahh the good old days |

Like the vast majority of PC users I use a windows Product. Windows XP Pro actually. Not that I am some crazed Microsoft fan boy or anything but back when I first started using computers way back in the day everything was DOS.
So that is what I learned on and gradually upgraded to successive upgrades and version etc etc etc etc. But with the release of Windows Vista I started thinking why the hell am I going to shell out more money for another operating system when the one I have works fine. Sure all the bells and whistles are nice but dammit man I just can't keep the perpetual upgrade cycle going on forever. Not to mention every time the boys over at Microsoft decide to shove another OS down our throats it comes with a bigger price tag that the initial purchase of the program due to the minimum requirements for the OS. We are talking hard drive upgrades more ram and of course larger faster processors. I personally will stay away from Vista for a long time to come for various reasons including but not limited to the price point.
Rewind a few years back to when I was in college, one of the course I had to take was a unix/linux class. I rather enjoyed the interface and the stability of Linux but soon realized that I couldn't use it effectively for some of the other things that I did. Not to mention I was just to lazy to do the research to find work arounds for using windows based programs on linux.
Fast forward to Last night 3/6/07 I was reading up on linux because I found that it could be installed on to a PS3 and figured it was time to give the OS another shot. So far it is what I remembered Linux being but with a few surprises as well. As of right now I have converted my once Microsoft only machine into a hybrid Microsoft/Linux box ( Linux Fedora if your wondering) As a matter of fact this post is being done on said linux Distro. Lets see if I can use strictly Linux for a month minimum or if I will run back kicking and screaming to the safe haven that is Windows XP.
I wish that CTRL ALT DELETE would work on President Bush and his cronies |
