Zel-kun’s Words

It always seemed ironic to me.  I spend all day fixing other people’s computers, and I come home to a perpetually broken one.  I’m not sure I could call it a computer anymore, more like a crash simulator that occasionally computes in its free time.  From bad memory sectors, a fried power supply, corrupt video drivers, completely unexplained reboots, fried video card, corrupt Windows installations, the win32 worm, corrupt firmware in the MONITOR, fried PCI port, fried memory slot, broken network card, two broken cable modems, and a broken router, I’ve seen nearly everything.

 These problems, of course, have been over the course of six years and two computers, but its still pretty damn frustrating when you’re writing something, and the computer inexplicably reboots on you, without an error message in the event logs or anything.  Hopefully that will change with the order I just placed for a brand new motherboard and processor, and with the PCI-E card I’m getting from my good friend Pete, who has always been willing to let me get his hand-me-downs at a discount, heheh.  With those and the new RAM and Hard drives I plan on buying in the not-too-distant future, all of these problems will be a thing of the past.

In other news, its getting harder and harder to keep the spammers at bay on this site.  Although they’re annoying, their tendency to try to imitate ACTUAL comments can be quite amusing.  Here’s a couple exmaples:

”

wheelchairs…

Didn’t notice it before . . . quite clever…. ”

and

“if the human brain were simple and easy to understand, we’d be too simple to understand it”

and the ever-present

“Mmm… Good post Will watch your blog ”

Its strange to think of people actually wasting their time programming spam-bots to do this stuff.  I can’t imagine this kind of ‘marketing’ brings ANY business to the sites they promote.  All they create is irritation, in my opinion.

Zel-kun out.
