I’ve driven (if you can even call it that) for a grand total of three times now since I got my G1. No, not that kind of driving, bringing myself places. Rather, my dad has taken it upon himself to instruct me in the ways of the car. Yes, parking lot driving. Continue reading
I find it somewhat hilarious that I haven’t gone out anywhere with my friends this summer and I still manage to run out of money. I need a job. Ah, the life of a student.
Last year, a month after I began using Gentoo, my computer seemed to have succumbed to some nasty instability problems. Segfaults, kernel panics, freezes, and crashes all within the space of an hour. I discovered that there was a bad RAM stick. After a bit of playing around, I discovered that by switching the two sticks of RAM around into each other’s slots, the problems magically disappeared.
Until now.
Yes, the problems came back and worse than ever. So I finally gave in and accepted the foul RAM’s fate. It was to be terminated and $30 would have to leave my (family’s) coffers for a replacement, in addition to spending a day with half the RAM I’m used to. I’m looking at the Corsair Value Select PC3200 ($32.99) since I’m not willing to risk $28.99 on a noname brand. See, I said to myself that I would not get any upgrades for my computer, to save up (so to speak) on my eventual university computer, unless of course, it was absolutely critical.
So long, Corsair something Xtreme, 256 MB. You’ll look cool on my wall, I guess.
