Well I got up this morning feeling sick and crappy, went to check my email and the forum. Funny thing was that my computer wasn't on, seeing that I leave it on all the time. Pressed the power button, nothing. Apparently the power supply has pooped out on me. Shit, so now I'm using the back-up, a iMac. I can't tell you how bad this sucks, all my files are on my other system. So don't expect any site improvements (not that you were) until I get motivated enough to crack the case and take a look.

Update: I checked the powersupply and it works fine, so now I'm really screwed. It's gotta be the motherboard, so shit. I called the tech support for Gigabyte. I must have been talking to the TokenGook's mom, because I couldn't understand a damn word she was saying. So now I'm really screwed. FUCK!

no it was more along the lines of "dawg gon Mongolieans, you break my shitty wall fo last tyme!"

Well I've ordered a new motherboard, an Asus with the new nVidia 400 chipset, hopefully it'll work out and should be faster. I plan on sending the broke one back to the manufacturer to be repaired/replaced. Once it get's back I'll probably throw it in an old case with a cheep CPU and have myself a little system for internet and office apps.

Well, you'll all be happy to know that I got my new mother board installed and up and running. Now all I have to do is reinstall all the software I need. I went ahead and reformatted my HD, it needed cleaned up anyways. While I'm in the software install/config mode, I'm going to go ahead and upgrade to the new versions of Macromedia Dreamweaver (html,php, etc) and Fireworks (graphics.) These new versions look pretty sweet, but just like anything new, it'll take me a little while to get up to speed. So, you probably (like normal) won't see anything happening with the site. But I will be on the forum at any chance I get, please ladies control yourselves. Alright Zirk, was that nerd enough for you. You know, you can talk about us, but you can't talk without us. Eyes and ears of the battlefield, rabble rabble.

Ok, this is something about computers, as far as I can tell. Sounds like Sammy's moving on my woman, though. I'd check where you sleep nightly, my friend.
