Little raves that don't deserve their own thread

If I must be beaten to making the rant thread, at least it was by you, Polemarch.

By the way, I'm digging the font choice for the site name banner.

My phone kept rebooting for no reason, so I installed a custom ROM on it. Yeah!

As I mentioned in that old forum, none of the computers I had on my back porch for the last 2 years would boot. I never got out the hose to get the leaves and bugs out of them and I said I would.

But I did recover a hard drive I could use! Weeeee! That's my rave.

I am weighing the hardware choices in building a $100 computer for a client's 10 year old. Gotta be relevant enough to surf the net, but not too powerful where I'm losing money to sell at that price. He's effin brilliant so I can't skimp too much- In fact I'm dual booting it xp and Bodhi linux.

2.8 ghz .75 gig ram, 80 gb hd.

Too bad his little sister has a dual core something or other I sold them earlier this year. I'm sure he'll notice. I'll cross that bridge when I get there! I'm not parting with any of my multicore boxes right now because they are all mining and can be upgraded with PCIe ati smexy cards.

I hope I can find the cover because it looks like someone puked in it.

Today my head cold had abated enough that I could focus a bit. I applied to a bunch of jobs, helped someone at work satisfactorily, and managed to find some (expensive) stainless steel tubing for free. On top of that, our afternoon meeting was cancelled because the administrator was "out sick," and she called in to tell us all to go home early. This place is a ghost town.
