Long time

I will update soon, I assure you I am still alive!

Down and Out

So I have recovered from my illness, I think it was H5N1(ye ol' bird flu). At the same time, my PSU on my box decided that overclocking was a bad idea. Apparantly upping the voltage to the cpu was a bad idea for my supply. After a few days of rest, I am felling better and my PSU works again hooray! Here are some pics of the past few days.


Please keep it clean.



A power hungry cat.

Oops

So I have been away for some time now. I managed to blow the power supply on my computer, and caught a cold, not a computer virus, but a real cold. Life sucks right now.

Huh?

Don't ask me, I blame Gizmodo.com.

A Little Hot in Here

Here are a few good ones from today.

An extremely blown Antec 350w power supply, I can't even figure how this thing still turned on!





And I am pretty sure that the floppy discs go in the floppy drive.

Creatures

It was pretty boring today, besides the customer who had a malware infestation, and decided that a new computer would fix his problem. Also an infestation of another kind. See below...





I am not sure what happend to the CPU fan, but it looked like some one used it as a helmet.

Info

Well Sunday is usually my day off, so you won't see many updates on Sunday. I am planning on updating my visual relevant posts with pics, so hope to see those soon.

Timing is Everything

So after a ride on the subway (which smelled like pee), I get to work and my boss has a project for me. The project is a unit loaded with the usual suspects; spyware, adware, trojans, and viruses. No problem right? Wrong I had two hours to finish the job. At around the two hour mark I was half-way done with the machine and the customer calls to check the status. I say "Yeah it should be done very soon, I'll give you a call once I'm done.". Waddaya know, the customer comes in without me calling. He proceeds to throw a fit to a few of my bosses, and complains about my work. Well they (the customer and my bosses) come to an agreement, if the computer isn't finished by tonight all the work will be refunded. I completed the unit on time, but it wasn't a blast getting rushed like that. So to all superiors, please do not quote times on projects, when you don't understand the scope of the work.

How, Why?

Why does this hard drive smell like a hotdog?

A start for a blogger

This is the beggining of my tales of human error. I work for a very large tech support company, and every day there is a new situation I come home with, wether it be stupidity, ignorance, humor, or just people being rude. Well I decided to share those stories with everyone. So stay tuned, this is day one.
