Yet another weekend under way….

And I did something stupid. I decided just from a one-off Google search, that my issues with Windows 7 were because of a couple of hotfixes (because my boot drive is now an SSD). Nope. I was an idiot. I put Win7 back on my tower, and I still got the Blue Screen Of Death. THough this time I was less of an idiot and looked up the error codes. It appears as though it’s a hardware driver, but since Windows 7 has been end-of-life for at least 6 months, it is probably best that I stick with Windows 10.

Back to the drawing board…

But on the bright side, I know that the 2004 update of Windows 10 will work. I’ve been running it since the Release Candidate….

And tonight, I did text my manager that I was calling out. I wonder how long it’ll be before he realizes that I was off anyway….

Finally

Finally, I finished reinstalling everything in my computer after buying the 2 new hard drives a few weeks ago. It took a while since I gave into temptation a couple of times to try running Windows 7 with the new ssd. And while my system was very much faster than with the old rotary hard drives, it was very much more unstable. It would blue screen and crash just by opening FIrefox. I think there may have been issues with a driver, but we’re moving forward. Windows 10 is still fully supported, and all the drivers work, therefore that’s what I’ll run. Now I just need to remind myself of this everytime I decide to go retro….

So it's my weekend again...

Category: posts written from my phone....

No, that's not really a category. But I'm writing this post from my phone...

Anyway, it's my weekend once again. Tonight, it's another Netflix abs chill night. Once again, it's Captain Underpants. I'm up to season 3...

Yes, I know it’s been a while…

Yes, I know it’s been a while. About 3 weeks ago, the world watched as a white police officer murdered a black man. Much has been said about George Floyd’s character, but ultimately, his criminal record and what he was accused of were not captial crimes. And yet he was executed anyway. Without a trial….

Black lives matter. Just because your skin color is different doesn’t mean that you life is forfeit. I would say that All Lives Matter, but that is is being misconstrued into something inflammatory. So, I’m going to keep silent on this. I know my opinions on this matter, and this is a case where I should hold my peace for now…

So much going on…

It all started on Memorial Day. 4 officers have been fired and have been charged. I have much more to say about this, but not at this time….

Sorry, I’m still trying to sort my thoughts out on this one…

So that’s why that’s there….

Leaned back in my office chair tonight, and it went too far back. Like it was loose. Looked on the carpet, and saw the screw that had worked itself loose. And then there was the other screw that I saw on the desk that had come loose. So I went to put them back in, and my screwdriver wouldn’t bite. And then I looked at them and realized that they were hex heads. And then I looked on my desk and saw the hex key wrench that I used to assemble my chair to begin with. Office chair is back together again…
