Nyder's Journal: it's been how long? oops...

Well, guess i've been a little lazy. See i've had to get one of my harddrives ready to sell to a friend and I had to decide which one I wanted to hold on to. I have grown very attached to the dell. It's screen is great, it's body is compact and sleek and solid. It had a battery that worked. It did 1024x768. But even though the hp screen is a dual scan 800x600, and it's in bad shape, the more ram and faster processor really won out. The keyboard has already started to die, I guess. The G, H, '/", backspace, and last, but not least, the esc key stopped working. I thought it had something to do with switching wireless cards around (i'm currently using this encore 22mbps thingy, tried to put in a linksys b/g pccard, but it didn't want to work with something, i'm forget what right now) because when I switched them back, the keys were working again. but the next time I booted, the keys weren't working, and I even booted a msdos 6.22 floppy, and they still didn't work. So i guess it's hardware, since I don't have a battery, so there's no juice keeping anything alive...

Luckly I have a Logitech keyboard that came with a contoller that fit around it for the playstation 2. it has a super long cord, like 4 or 5 feet, usb. it's actually smaller then the keyboad in the laptop. it fits over the touch pad (I use an external ps2 otipcal mouse) and the first row of keys (spacebar row) but doesn't press any of them down. so I guess I got a working keyboard, and I can still get into bios with the other, unless other keys flake out.

anyways, since the cops took my cell phone, and since I finally got my irs refund check, I went to Sprint and they said that all I had to pay for a deposit was $125. I said cool, bought a Samsung Vi660 phone, and get 2 months free internet on it. signed up for the developer stuff and i'm in heaven. Got something that needs better apps for, badly...

Gives me something to do since I don't have a job.

Well, it's almost 10pm, time to get a game in, warcraft3 I think (I can play it on my 650mhz celeron mobile chip, S3 Savage IX 4 meg some 3D AGP

slayer Decade of AGgression is what i've been listening to. not that you care, but you do need to know.
