So far, I’m enjoying the fact that Bakersfield has a ban on smoking inside of bars. That was always the least fun part about going out with friends and drinking: Coming home, reeking, and doing your laundry the next day.
I’ll be going to homecoming in two weeks, back in good ol’ Terre Haute. As far as I know, the bars there still let you smoke like a chimney. Home, sweet home.
My RHIT laptop may have seen its last battle. Now that I’m out of school, I’m obviously out of the warranty period, so anything that I do to the laptop can’t be fixed by IAIT (assuming they ever fixed things to begin with).
Currently, the battery no longer does anything. I’m sure the battery itself works, but the battery wont stay in its bay, so the computer cannot run without a power cord. Also, the video drivers are FUBAR. The hard drive is not reliable. Who knows what problems could be related to the motherboard. In an effort to fix some driver issues, I get a never ending loop asking me to install some dll file, even if i supply it with the file. The wireless card continuously needs to be ‘repaired’ (whatever that does) because its always finding little or no connection. I guess that could be router related, but hey whatever.
The moral of the story is that this laptop is probably going to get a fresh install of XP (or maybe i’ll try linux) and probably be demoted to file server duties. Contratulations, desktop pc, you’re being promoted. I guess I’m building a new desktop soon. Good excuse to buy an athlon64, eh?
Finally, the new NFL season is here, complete with new commercials. Love the commercials.
