Pain, seeping from my head and dripping on the floor.
I don't know why but I have one the worst headaches ever. When I try to figure out why, the feeling just intensifies to the point where it's dangerous to keep figuring.
I suppose going to bed at 2 in the morning didn't help, but I have to get in; I NEED to complete a project.
Anything, any price, just to get my foot in the door. Here's a list of what I'm trying to do and how it's turned out so far:
-Boot linux from a downloaded LiveCD or Flash Drive on my Vostro 200 desktop
I've downloaded several iterations of Linux, (Kubuntu, DSL, PenDriveLinux) from their respective websites (kubuntu.org, etc) in their .ISO format ( a compressed format, like .zip or .rar you can burn onto a disk and boot from) and they've all failed me. I still haven't seen a feckin' Linux desktop. The error code is always the same; something about job control turned off. I looked around, apparently it's tricky for Vostros, and I have no idea what the solutions are talking about.
-Get free VoIP, PC-to-Phone
In my quest for free stuff, I've heard thatyou can call people from your comp for free. I think I found something, VoIP Buster, but I haven't done too much testing of it. I think it worked though, I called my mom for a few seconds on our home phone.
-Build a Fecking* computer already
*nope, not an OS or a brand, just a modiified cuss word
I had to go to the dump recently, and found out tat it's my number one resource for free comp stuffone resource for free computer stuff. They section of elecrtonmics so its not hard to reach them. I picked up an old motherboard (Intel GA586VX REV 3.55) with a key based power supply (that is to say, a power supply, with a key, and a lock) and as I left I realized I didn't have the key... I don't think I'll actually use it for more than modern art and a learning experience. I also managed to mooch an Intel D915GEV/D915PCY/D915GRF or E210882 (I'm not sure which is a more propper name), (which is NICE), from my teacher, who saved it from the trash. It's amazing what my school will toss. So now I still don't have a right size power supply, or a SATA drive (newer Hard Drive), or memory to make it work.
-Hack into my Archos 605 Wi-Fi
I got this sweet gadget for less than $200 off amazon, and downloaded the newest firmware immediately. Then I found out I coul use Linux on it (Qtopia, to be precise) and run some sweet software, like a VNC program (allows you to control a comp from far away, only if both have it... I think). The bad news ist, the hack only works on old firmware, for now. Can't do much about it, but I want it, SO bad.
-Get a girlfriend
Okay, it's not strictly related to my desire to be better with computers, but a girlfriend would definately help the mental part of all this. Maybe add some stability in my life.
