Rolling the Dice with Tech

A discussion about Random happenings in tech, and anything else we might want to talk about.

Windows 7???January 30 2008

Well the rumors of Microsoft releasing a new version of Windows in 2009 is supposable debunked by the guys at WinVistaClub . They say they got a email from Microsoft and the new version of Windows will not be out till 2011. So if this is true hopefully Vista will get better with a few service packs or maybe we will all got to a nix or Mac OS.

Gotta Love Old School TechJanuary 13 2008

Takes me back to the days with my old Tandy TRS 80 coco3 loved that thing. Well hope I didn’t tell my age to much. Enjoy the site.

Quick fix for Burn in.January 13 2008

This is a quick fix for a screen that is burned in and screens with stuck pixels. UDPixel is a little utility that you run to on your screen and sometimes it takes care of the problem in a few minutes and sometimes it takes all night, but I have yet to see a screen it didn’t help. Now if you have a dead pixel “black dot” it won’t do anything for it, but if it is a stuck one “white or colored dot” it can fix it. So if you have a screen with a few problems give it a try it is free so no harm if it doesn’t work. You can get it at http://udpix.free.fr/index.php?p=dl

Eeepc update.January 10 2008

Well as my first real post in months I think I will talk about a new addition to my gadget family, my Asus Eeepc. I talked about this mini laptop in another post last year when it was still being developed. Well I have one now and I simply love it. It is tiny and light weight and just great, but not perfect. I am a little miffed at Asus because they advertised her as a 900mhz machine, they have the bios limit it to 630mhz, “for battery purposes”. They claim a new bios update will remedy that, and I hope it is soon. Even at the slower speed though the little things runs several flavors of nix and XP pro great. I did add a gig of ram though, and I have a few hacks planned soon. I already have a 30gb 1.8″ hard drive that I plan to mod in to the machine with the help of a 4 port usb hub that I am going to have to put inside the little machine, and that will hopefully be the beginning to many little modifications I want to make to the small wonder Asus has bestowed upon me. To get an idea what I am talking about you can look at http://forum.eeeuser.com/index.php , and see some brilliant people at work with their Eeepcs.

The first day I had to get it open

Sorry I kind of abandon my site for so long I have been down and out but I am going to put all my energy into this now and not going to let anything hold me down this time, and yes my neck and back are still trashed but thats life. Gotta find things to focus on and move with life or get run over so here we go.
