Guess who’s back…back again? Deep Blue’s back!

I finally got my computer (aka Deep Blue) back on Friday and just moments ago I got it all restored. Woo-hoo. I also made a ghost backup so future restoration will be much faster. I’m sooo excited. However, I am also mad at myself. There was nothing really wrong with the computer, it was just my mini PCI wifi card went belly up. This caused the motherboard to lockup because it was trying to poll the device, but not getting back the correct response (if any response at all). Further testing on Tuesday will determine if it is indeed the wifi card. If so, I will be getting a new one, probably a 802.11g. If not, I need to figure out exactly what the problem is and get it fixed. I suppose if the mini PCI slot was disfunctional, that would cause the same problem.

I never would have guessed

A lot has been going on lately, expect more on that later. But I just finished working on website for a particle accelerator I’m helping with. The fun thing was, I created the entire site using nothing by notepad. Yep, I still have the touch, even if I still usually use WYSIWYG. Check it out, you actually should learn something! Imagine that…learning from the web. Who would have guessed?

Hitting a wall

After almost three weeks of Christmas Break (officially called Winter Break), we finally went back to school today. I was really looking forward to school, but then I had English class. Ugh, I hate English, actually make that Romantic Literature. English is fine, for the most part, but I am not what you would call even remotely romantic…to any degree. So now I want to go back on vacation. On the plus side, the Vocal Concert is almost here (I’m singing in it). Expect pictures from that sometime Sunday night or Monday morning…hopefully.

Snow Day!!

Yesterday was a snow day. I had quite a bit of fun playing in the snow. I also ended up watching cars slip and slide as they drove up our hill. When I get my computer back in 13 days, I’ll upload them.

Today was a Slush Day. School was cancelled, again. Woo-hoo!

 

Aaahhh! My computer is broken!

Reformating did not fix the problem. Fortunatly, I have a 3 year extended warranty plan that will cover any repairs that are needed, but I have to send it in, so I will be without my precious computer for, gasp…I actually don’t know how long it will take. In the meantime, expect less coding updates and more blog updates.

Computer failure

My computer is having a problem with its wireless card. I tried using System Restore, no luck. I figure it’s about time to reformat, so that’s what I’m working on. I plan on making a Norton Ghost Image this time to ease this process in the future.

It’s snowing and there’s no school

It

So it started snowing outside tonight. It started with a sprinkle around 7:30ish PM PST and it’s still snowing now, at 12:02 AM…the next day. Alas there is also no school, but then again, we’re still on Winter Break, so I suppose we wouldn’t have school anyways, snow or not. And yes, I’m still wearing shorts.

Merry Christmas Eve

A Merry Christmas Eve to everybody. I’ve been having a great vacation so far. I’ve gotten quite a bit of work done on my website. Most of the work I’ve done has the intention of bringing to a place where I can leave it for about four years or so, with minimum house keeping. This of course is in preparation for college. I still don’t know where I am going, but I do know that I am going having been accepted by two schools thus far. I will post a blog tomorrow with the list of presents that I recieved. You did get me a present didn’t you? On a separate note, I did see an absolutly hilarious film on AtomFilms.com, you really should check it out. It’s good.
