I just love putting a new muffler in a car only to have the tailpipe come out pf the muffler even after making sure its clamped in place

What would you do 48 Cores?

AMD is running a contest about “What would you do with 48 Cores?”

Here’s my entry. With a 48 core server I would use it to perform medical computing for Stanford’s Folding@Home project as well as do research into Virtual Machines for work. Do I need 48 cores in one computer? Probably not but I believe that the medical computing would be a big benefit to the world and the Virtual Machines for work would just be an added bonus.

Ugh, I think I am gonna have to go to the doctor soon. I have been having lots of trouble waking up, at first I thought it was due to getting the final load of stuff from my old apartment but it doesn’t look like that is the cause of it.

Computers

Well, recently the RAM in my desktop decided to take a crap. Of course, during troubleshooting I decided to reinstall Windows. No big deal other than the fact that I can’t get my TV timer card to pick up analog channels in Media Center, they work fine in DScaler of course. To bad DScaler doesn’t like my digital channels (ClearQAM) so I have no clue what to do right now. I will prolly keep banging my head gainst the wall to get analog channels working in Media Center…….

Stupid city

Well, I got 2 $20 parking tickets for 2 hour parking violations when the spot I parked in isn’t clearly marked as such. I am not amused by their need to make money from people that park legally

fun

Well, tonight I get to go see my new “niece”. Fiancé’s brother and sister-in-law are having their daughter tonight and they have flat out said I’m already her uncle. They also made the mistake of telling me it doesn’t matter how loud a toy is as long as its educational *evil laugh*

In all seriousness, I am extremely excited to see the little rug rat tonight.

Well, I took my MCDST test yesterday and passed. I am now officially a MCP in “Supporting Users and Troubleshooting a Microsoft Windows XP Operating System “. Next is to start the “Supporting Users and Troubleshooting Desktop Applications on a Microsoft® Windows® XP Operating System” course.
