More Ethernet Adapters Appear than installed in Win XP

Here’s some more articles up on me site courtesy of Chris. He’s just crankin em out. J

I’ve been so very unmotivated lately. St. George has been really boring recently (like all summer) and I’d like to get out of here. The problem is, my computer repair business is ever so established here. If I move, I abandon all of my clientele. I’ve actually little problem with this, but it means that I’ll have to get a real job if I move, at least for a while. Currently I’ve got a working day that’s a few hours long, and I’d like to keep it that way.

With any luck I can get my online advertising making me more money, but I don’t really foresee that happening nearly quick enough for me. Matt will be back soon and I’d like to move to Salt Lake when he comes back, but who knows how well this will work out.

We’ll see, I imagine.

NTLDR

I’ve finally got a writer for some of my sites. This makes me ever so happy. I’ve been rather lazy as of late as far as making more tutorials goes, cause I’m a bit of a twat.

 

Anyway, here’s the new submissions:

Norton Antivirus 2005 - Why does it suck?

<RANT>

I swear that at least half of the time I get a phone call from a customer that is having issues with their computer that it’s courtesy of Norton Antivirus 2005. the 2004 edition didn’t have this many issues, so did the monkeys programming it have a seizure or something?

Why don’t they program the damned thing to look at a system’s resources and tell the customer whether or not they need an upgrade before they install?

OK, dumb question, they want to sell more copies of their shitty software obviously. Telling the consumer that their computer isn’t up to snuff might result in a return and so we’ll just let them install NAV and deal with the consequences of NOTHING working at a reasonable speed anymore.

What’s sad is that I used to like Norton/Symantec. I really did. They just so completely suck now that it’s quite pathetic.

California, Utah, Real Estate, Tech Jobs, Bleh

My trip to Cali this last weekend was fantastic. I’m not sure just how I feel about my friend’s wedding, but I wish him the best of luck. The wedding itself was really nice. It all went down in the bay and fleet week was going on. I got to see the new stealth boat, an aircraft carrier with the sailors out on display, F-16’s blasting around in formation, Apaches, S.E.A.L.s (as well as real seals) a hovercraft, all kindsa stuff.

The ocean was incredibly fun, even though I didn’t do much on it. I had never understood previously how people thought swimming was strenuous, but now that I’ve fought the ocean tide a bit I understand.

I’d like to move to California but I don’t know how feasible that is. I’ve no idea what I could charge in Cali for my services, whether they would even be in demand, how long it’d take to become established, all that. Real Estate in California is also a lot more “volatile”, shall we say. You can spend tons of money for a little piece of shit house. When we were near the beach I saw BMW’s, Corvettes, Mercedes, Audis, etc all parked outside of crappy houses that I would be embarrassed to live in around here; and you know that that dilapidated home is $700,000 at least because it’s within walking distance of the coast.

Too bad California real estate isn’t as cheap as most Utah real estate. If it was, and I knew there was a market for me, I’d be gone in a heartbeat. St. George here isn’t that cheap, but that’s besides the point…
