Computer Thunder
I noticed about 2 weeks ago my primary PC was starting to act kinda wonky on me. I actually have three including the laptop but the two desktops are in constant use with the slower one (1400 mhz) acting as a backup. I built both of them myself and they were getting kind of old and tired and I knew it. Now it was looking like it might fail on me any day. And since I make my living on my computer I can’t afford to be without it. The primary one was about 6 years old, a 2600 mhz AMD and it was as fast and as powerful as you could get back then. It has served me extremely well over the years.
In computer years though, 2600 mhz is a virtual dinosaur so again I decided to go as fast and powerful as I could. The new one I built this past week is another AMD running at 6000+ mhz with a 160 gig sata 2 hard drive and 2 gigabytes of ddr2 memory. In other words blazing fast. The old machine would take almost 30 seconds to open my Photoshop CS2 program, the new one does it in about 2 seconds. What an amazing difference!
Building it was not without it’s problems though. I ordered all the components online and then carefully assembled everything. Plugged it in, turned it on and… nothing! It refused to boot up, no beeps, no post! Arrgh!! Next came lots of swearing as I tried to figure out which one of the new parts was faulty. It turned out to be the new motherboard. I ended up sending it back for exchange but I couldn’t wait two weeks for them to send another so I ended up buying one locally. Anyway, it now works and works quite well and I’m a happy camper again! Yay!! Hopefully this one will last me another 5 or 6 years.
Does anyone else dislike Nancy Grace on CNN as much as I do? She is very irritating, just the sound of her indignant voice is enough to make me go change the channel. I hate the way she badgers people on the air, people that are just witnesses to her story and are trying to be helpful. She treats them like dirt. One night she was questioning someone that had a stutter and she actually mocked his stuttering! She acts as though everyone she talks to on air is her own personal doormat. By the way I found that photo on the ‘net, it’s not one that I made up, LOL.
How about showing some social grace, Nancy Grace?
This photo just cracks me up and makes me wonder what the hell is going on here? LOL
I’ve been crazy busy and here’s a few new template designs I’ve done recently, Nappily Evah Aftah and two templates here for the same blog My Juxtaposition . The ones I did are named Many Faces and Butterflies, you’ll have to use the theme switcher to see them both. And another new one here for Unrestricted and a new one over at A Whole Lot of Nothing.
It’s Friday folks!! Hope you guys have a great weekend!!

Nance needs to learn that she is nothing but a glorified entertainer and not so great a one at that. She is one of the many that I simply can’t stand to listen to.
I checked out all of your new designs and I love them all - especially the “Many Faces” on My Juxtaposition - very, very impressive! I still need to get mine redesigned but trying to get that kid of me to finish some art for me is next to impossible! Now if I were a rock star …
I am also impressed that you can build your own computer and it works, too! I can barely buy one that has what I want, never mind build one!
I only watched Nancy Grace once which was enough because I found her very offensive.
Regarding Nancy Grace… David E. Kelley of “Ally McBeal” and “Boston Legal” fame, created a character who was a dead ringer for Nancy Grace and had a serial killer off her
My computer is old too!
Nancy is a horrible person. Can’t even watch her.
The two girls are participating in halloween!
That woman is one of the reasons I rarely watch CNN.
I totally understand everything you said! I assume you got one of the AMD Dual core processors. Dude, you should have held out for the quad core. They should be out soon and will be SMOKING fast!
I suppose I’d rather be the chick on the left than the right. Never really got into necrophelia.
I have no idea what you said about your computer but I think it works faster and better now… Go Seven!
Nancy is a pig.
And my shirt would just say, “I fuck everything” or something rauchily similar, even though it is untrue. Shock value is where it’s at.
Nancy’s pregnant with twins. Maybe being a mom will mellow her out. Even though parenthood didn’t mellow me any, there’s still a chance. That hair creeps me out more than anything.
Yes, Nancy Grace is graceless. Why does she think she has to talk in 72-point all the time? Let me put it this way: I can’t stand her.
