So, I ordered some new RAM for my laptop last week. I need it because I only have 512 in my laptop now. I only really use my laptop at work (yes, I have to use my own computer and have been doing so for the past 3 years when I would work on and off for two different companies (same boss). Each summer I’d use it every day all day long, and quite often the rest of the year, so it has some wear and tear on it. I rarely use it for personal use anymore. The programs I use at work, Outlook, Photoshop, our Live Support chat, are memory hogs. This makes it hard to do things quickly. I figured I’d update the RAM and hopefully that would ease things a bit. Well, I got the memory yesterday, installed it and computer wouldn’t boot, not even to BIOS. I’d turn it on and the screen would be black. I replaced the original memory and it booted. I don’t know what the problem was. I tried every combination I could think of to get it to work, it just simply wouldn’t with the new RAM (yes, I had the right kind and my system could support the size and speed). I decided, in the end after tech support calls, just to return it and get a refund. I’ll just keep using the laptop as is and when I think about it now, it’s not exactly fair to upgrade my computer, out of my own pocket, just to use it at work. Truth be told, I should have a new laptop bought for me, not for the company, but for me, since I spent countless hours using my current one for work. I know that won’t happen, but oh well. I’m not going to try and upgrade the laptop anymore. I’ll just wait 6 months or so, whenever I am sure of my financial situation, and buy a new one. It won’t be used for work.
If You Liked That WordPress Plugin
I really love this plugin. I was using it for a while, then quit because it was displaying the “If you liked that” on pages too. I notified the author and asked if he noticed this and was planning on releasing a version that didn’t do this or if he knew how to easily change the plugin to prevent this. He got back to me right away stating he just noticed this behavior himself and planned on changing it in the next version. Well, the new version is here and I’m using it again. I think it will be a great way to get users to go deeper into your site. If they came for one post, they might see another post that intrigues them and go to that one. Who knows, you may get a valuable new reader. Props to Martin for the great plugin.
Laptop Ram
Red House Painters- Have You Forgotten
I have to admit, I know nothing about this band. I have one song by them, and that’s this one. The only reason I have it is because it was given to me by a very special friend. I think it’s a great song, so now I’m sharing it with you, just as she shared it with me. In case you want to know more about this band, you can read more about them at Wikipedia here. From their entry:
[audio:http://pieceofshep.com/audio/01-Have-You-Forgotten.mp3]On Ringtones
Listen up! Yes, I’m talking to you, the person sitting near me in a restaurant with the extremely annoying ringtone. Knock that shit off! We don’t care that you think you’re super cool because Avril Lavigne is telling you one of your lame ass friends wants to get in touch with you. We don’t think you’re cool because your new ringtone is the new crappy song by Fall Out Boy or another just as shitty band. The music you listen to sucks, your phone sucks, and your ringtone most definitely sucks. If you HAVE to use an annoying song for a ringtone, which you don’t, at least have the courtesy to put it on a lower setting when you’re in public. Why do you need it at the highest possible fucking volume? You don’t, especially since you want to show the whole world how cool you are and have your phone out and are playing with it every two seconds. Is your hearing that bad that you can’t hear your phone even on the highest possible setting when it’s in your hand? For fucks sake, knock that shit off. Oh, and emo kids, talking to the “fellas” here, quit shopping in the women’s section of the Gap.
That is all.
