I've made a huge breakthrough in my struggle with my computer situation. I've now assembled my own machine and I got it running tonight. (After many, many hours of frustration--the brand new power supply turned out to be bad, but i figured it out finally) It's got an Athlon XP 2200+ processor, 512mb RAM, and an ATI 64MB video card. It's running fast and strong on Windows XP.

The great thing, though, is that I can upgrade it when I get the money. I can get to XP 3000+, 1GB ram, and 256MB AGP 8x video card for approx. $320!! That's incredible....

Working on my photos should be a hell'uv a lot easier now. Ok, that's all....

I won't be posting until after New Year's I think, I've just got a crazy amount of stuff to take care of. Xmas is really an evil force...... Plus I'm moving (within the house) and I have to get two rooms ready to rent out. But hopefully I'm gonna make a big push to start posting more after New Years....  If anyone's looking for a roommate situation in Temecula, CA, let me know.

wow, i'm so frustrated. it's a long story but basically i have a really expensive laptop that's busted and i just got a replacement one off ebay. same model so I could use the hard drive and memory that i already have. Well the new one works, but if you try to do anything processor intensive it just shuts down, no warning. Of course, that's what I want it for, to work on huge photos and 3D files.

arrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

oh, the battery doesn't charge, either

Now I have 2 dead laptops, 1 crippled laptop, 1 700mhz working desktop, but it's slow and doesn't have a video card, and 1 not working 700mhz desktop

arrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i just want one good computer that works that does what i want it to do, but i can never get there.

Also, why is the prefix 'My' put in front of everything on the computer now???? it makes MY fucking head hurt! just bend down and be thankful that the founders of DA didn't name it 'My DeviantArt'

Ok, sorry, just venting........

If anyone has any recommendations, I'm trying to find an MP3 player that will let me easily delete songs from my library (completely delete, off the hard drive, so that they exist no more, that they cease to be.....) I have itunes and it will do it, but only if you keep the songs in the folder it want's you to keep them in (needless to say, I don't want to keep them in that folder) Any ideas???? thanks in advance!

I bought a huge '88 Suburban yesterday, for $3000. I'm trying to start a business as an eBay Trading Assistant, so I need cargo room for pick-ups. Plus I want to get a travel trailer so I need towing capacity. And I also want to go camping and be able to get away from everything. But I'm still having LOTS of doubts. I've never had a truck before. How will I pay for the gas??? Why in the hell did I get a lifted one??? Will all environmentalists and left-of-center people hate me now?

Someone please tell me I did the right thing!?

A Most Series of Events Unfortunate...

In the past year and a half I've:

~Lost the awesome house I was renting in the cool North Park area of San Diego
~Lost an incredible young lady through my own cowardice and hesitation
~Lost my $80,000 a year graphic design/art director job
~Haven't been able to get any other job except for some bizarre and short-lived temp assignments (I'm over qualified for everything I apply too and I can't get to LA or SF or SD where there might be better jobs)
~Been sick for two months with severe pneumonia
~Had to file bankruptcy
~Had to move to my Mom's house in Temecula, CA ( I don't like Temecula, it's too conservative, suburban, dusty, and hot) (It's not good for the ego to have to move back in with your Mom)
~Lost my Acura RSX - currently drive a 93 altima that can't go more than a few miles and is generally falling apart
~Had to sell almost everything I owned on eBay
~Lost contact with most of my friends
~Haven't dated or made any new friends since I've been in Temecula

Hmmmm.... that's pretty wild. Well, I'm doing better. I've survived.  I've drasticaly simplifed my life. I'm slowly but surely figuring out how to make money on my own. I've been eating much better and losing weight. My Mom's moving to her boyfriends house so I'll have this house to myself. I should be getting a late-model van soon (will help with making money). I've decided to get back on DA and that's making me feel a lot better.

(warning: when the wheels come off things can get out of control real fast)

Ok, that's all, just wanted to get that off my chest. That's why I  haven't been around.
