I been messing with my computers today. I have not had much luck.
My room is a mess. I have computer parts and boxes and stuff all over the room. Maybe it should matter. It is not like I have visitors.
My new computer had Windows XP Pro 64 bit. But it is an evaluation copy and will expire in 13 days. There is not much point in installing much on it or doing much to it. I attempted to put in my recovery and backup CD to re-install Windows XP Home edition but it just saying checking the system and then the screen is dark and it will do nothing. I let it run for hours. I suspect the hard drive is so screwed up that it does not know what to do. The install of the current Pro 64 shows only one drive and it is H drive!
I have SUSE 10.2 on the computer. It is a very good install. But it will not support my webcam. You can do Skype, my phone service, with Linux but I did not get it installed yet.
I hooked up the old computer and it has Windows XP Pro on it but it is not a legal copy. So I can't update it or install service pack 2. The Logitech QuickCam 9000, my new camera, will not work unless you have SP 2 installed.
So I went to install the recover software that came with that computer and I can't get it to boot from the CD. Since I can't get it too boot from the CD I can't unstall my legal copy of Windows. I think you get the idea.
I wish I had a Belkin 2 port cable. It is KVM with a switch and built in cables. I could hook it up and then have both computer hooked up to this one monitor, keyboard and mouse and then I could switch between them and try and get them working. That cable cost $40.00 and I will have to wait until I get my $175.00 retirement check on the 1st. That is in 5 days.
I need to send off $600.00 for my half of the rent tomorrow.
I took this photo of the moon over Dadeland Mall.
I am very tired. I been eating too much food. I been eating the wrong things. My left foot is swollen. Well both feet are swollen but the left is very bid.
I love my new camera (Logitech Quickcam 9000). If your going to buy a usb webcam get it.
