| | So all this week when I click on my friends page, I see no entries. It says at the top there are zero entries. I see entries when I go to my posts, and when I go to other peoples' pages and click the friends link, it works. When other people click on my friends page, what do you see? | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment   |

| Since I got back from California, a ton of things have broken on me all at once. I think I must have brought gremlins back with me.
- My laptop wouldn't connect to my wireless network. It worked fine at all the hotels I stayed at. I ended up buying a new router and finally figured out I'd changed some of my settings when we were working in Arizona and had to change them back. Walmart let me return the router, but it still took several hours to figure out what was wrong.
- Since I got back, my furnace has been acting up. At first, the pilot light wouldn't stay lit. The landlady had someone come out and look at it, and he thought it was fixed. The pilot went out again Monday night, so she's supposed to be getting somebody to look at it. Until then, I have some space heaters.
- My cell phone hasn't worked since I got back. It turns on, but it can't connect to the cell network. I noticed it in California but assumed it was something with the network out there since it worked intermittently. So I'm probably going to have to buy a new cell phone.
- My microwave stopped working. If I start it, the numbers still count down, but there's no light inside, no turning tray, no heat. So I'll probably have to get a new one.
What's the universe trying to tell me?

| | I can't say that I'm really surprised at how the election turned out. I was a little disgusted by some of the speeches I saw last night, mainly Reid and Pelosi. They were going on about how this wasn't a mandate for one party's ideas but that people want things to be handled in Washington. The problem with that is since one party now controls both branches of government, they aren't going to do what's best for the country. They're going to do what's best for their party. Here's to hoping Republicans get that 41st seat in the senate. | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |
| ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) t3h_awesome turned me on to the Showtime series Dexter a couple months ago. I've watched both seasons that are out on DVD and think they do an excellent job of handling suspense in the show. I was perusing Kotaku this morning and found a post about a new Dexter video game. There aren't many details, but it sounds kind of cool. It's being made for iPhone and iPod Touch, so I will probably get it when it comes out. Sorry t3h_awesome, but maybe they'll make a DS version of it later. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| | It's me! It was inspired from watching Code Geass, which I really liked the first season. It got a bit weird at the end, and I didn't like the outcome for some characters. ::cough, Euphie, cough:: I'm hoping the second season is just as good. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |

| I've been griping recently about a problem with my laptop. I have a Dell Inspiron 600m that I bought two and a half years ago. I bought the 600m specifically because I could get a real video card instead of shared video memory. Last summer I was having problems with it overheating when I played games, so I just played games on my desktop. Over the winter I didn't notice the problem because I usually kept my house fairly cool.
So in the last two weeks, it's been getting warm again, and the overheating issue has come back. I searched on Google, and it turns out that a lot of people have the same problem with the 600m. I found out that Dell changed something in the BIOS after version 6 that causes the video cards to overheat. My BIOS was version 17. So I tried downgrading the BIOS, and now it doesn't overheat when I play games.
The problem is that version 6 doesn't support my processor. I get a little warning every time that I boot up now, so I think it's purposely running at a lower speed, which is a pain. So I have to choose whether I want to be able use it to play games and have all programs run slower or not play games. To top it off, apparently a lot of people have complained about the problem, but Dell won't fix it. It took me all of five minutes to find out the problem was with the BIOS, so you'd figure Dell could do something about it.
Despite the fact that I've had generally good luck with computers I've bought from Dell, I doubt I'll buy another laptop from them. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

Crackpot - INTJ

People hate you.
Paris Hilton hates Nicole Richie. Lex Luther hates Superman. Garfield hates Mondays.
But none these even rates against the insurmountable hate, people have for you.
I mean, you're pretty damn clever and you know it. You love to flaunt your potential. Heard the word "arrogant" lately? How about "jerk?" Or perhaps they only say that behind your back.
That's right. I know I can say this cause you're not going to cry. You're not exactly the most emotional person. You'd rather spend time with your theoretical questions and abstract theories than with other people.
Ever been kissed? Ever even been on a date? Trust me, your inflated ego is a complete turnoff with the opposite sex and I am telling you, you're not that great with relationships as it is. You're never going to be a dude or chick magnet, purely because you're more concerned with yourself than others. Meh. They all hate you already anyway.
How about this- "stubborn?" Hrm? Heard that lately? All those facts which don't fit your theories must just be wrong, right? I mean, really, the vast amounts of time you spend with your head in the clouds...you're just plain strange.
