Spoiled Computer users = People I hate.

Even though this won't reach too many people I figured i'd vent a little about it anyways.
I have seen a lot of sub-pc/ notebook computer being released this year. These are basically low cost low power computers that are designed for basic computer use.

Although most are capable of performing just about any task you'd usually do, these machines have lower cpu power, smaller storage space and less memory than say your store bought pc.

I have seen soo many people complain because these machines don't come with windows vista, or XP, or run windows at all (linux). Or they don't have a cd-rom drive or huge hard drive.

People fail to see things for what they where built for, and for what they could be used for.

The link above is to the most recent articale I read and commented on.
Its not the latest and greatest machine, but it has more power then most of the computer customers bring in to my shop for repair, and those customers have been getting along just fine without a 3+ghz cpu, and a 256mb video card.

Uses for older / less powerfull machines:

Great computers for kids cheaper means less worry about them breaking

arcade machine, install mame and download some roms and play video games all day long

thin client, manage hundreds of computers from one location and give everyone fully loaded desktops without having to use a harddrive

clusters chain several older machines together and combine their power to perform large tasks such as 3d rendering, folding @ home, seti @ home etc

Web browser and email machine. Most people don't use their computer for any but this. Why waste a powerfull computer on it.

vnc client, administer every computer you have by installing vnc on them and using the sub pc to connect to the desktops

security auditing. install backtrack to flash drive, hard drive or cd drive and test your network security and wifi security with these lower power machines.

kiosk: take it apart or just slap it into a stand, attach a monitor and display company info, advertising, or usefull information for customers on your home built kiosk.

loaner machine. Give customers and family something to use while you fix their computer

the list can go on and on. People have gotten so spoiled by high priced over-powered computers now days is sickening. I don't know how many times I have told a customer that just because a new version of windows comes out does not mean you have to go out and spend the money for a new computer just to run it. ESPECIALLY YOU TARDS WHO ONLY USE E-BAY.

The ONLY reason you need a high-end pc is if you are a GAMER! nothing else. most mid range to low end pc's will run office software and other programs.


Also people need to learn about Open Source alternatives to these expensive M$ junk.
Use OpenOffice instead of M$ office
Gimp instead of photoshop
and again the list can go on.

Thats my 2 cents, and i'm not changing my mind.

Hunter likes icing a lot.
This is Hunter at blade's birth day party.

I have been busy and kind of sad lately

Hunter still ain't pushing him self up with his arms or even starting to crawl. he will be 2 for he can walk since he has a chromosome disorder Tetrasomy 18 p so we have been taking many visits to Iowa city hospital thank good the visits have calmed down we have like 2 months be for we go to Iowa city again they are thanking about operating on his finger and trying to see if the can fix it. He can only straighten it out so much. and we all ready went up there to Iowa city to have his spine checked thank god it is fine. i would like to see the babys some time and you guys can meat Hunter Thomas Riley Clark in a couple of days he will be 8 months old.

And then he smiled and everything was right in the world!!

Lately things have been a bit tough. I have really been getting down on myself a lot lately, thinking that I am doing a really horrible job as a mom. I mean, it's seriously the most important thing that you will do in your life.
Today I was holding Bastien and he spit up...big surprise. So I grabbed a spit rag and wiped his mouth off. He was wide awake after that so I started my usual thing, asking him what he was doing and saying hi in that high pitched "parentese" that every person on the face of the planet does to babies!
Next thing I know Bastien starts grinning and wrinkling his nose. I figure it's just gas, but I keep playing with him. He keeps grinning everytime I play with him a bit. Finally, he grins real big and giggles a tiny bit!! I couldn't believe it!! I was so happy I called Jei and then my sister and mom!! lol

Now we just have to work on Elora and we will have two smiling babies!!! YAY!

Fences make bad friends

I have not wrote anything in a while so I figured i'd share my recent "accident".

We where all over at my moms for a cook-out (remember those glenn?) and Kat and I started rough housing - actually she was trying to spray me with soda. And I started running away.

I had the bright idea to try to jump over the fence. Something I have done several times before.
About half way through the jump I realize I jumped too soon and I was not going to make it. Just at that moment I felt my foot catch the fence, and next thing I know I hear a loud crack sound and i'm in pain...LOTS OF PAIN.

I grab my arm (broken 3 times) to make sure its ok. Good it is. Then I realize my shoulder hurts a lot and my arm does not move like it should. I go inside and lay down to try to calm myself down a bit, after a while everyone tells me I might have dis-located my shoulder.

I have no insurance so of course I did not go to the dr. instead I drove back home to quincy, sat on the couch with a heating pad, and figured as long as I can move my fingers and hand i'm fine.
I even helped a little with the babies, and now change diapers.

Two days later and my arm still can't move out to the side, but straight out in front works fine, so i figure another week or so and i'll be fine.

So just remember, the next time you want to do something, ask yourself.... Is this a good idea.
