Randomness 4

Posted by admin on November 28th, 2008

Wow, it has been a while since I made a post… so here goes. I EFFIN’ hate my computer speakers! They keep changing the volume on me, and yes, I am positive that it is the speakers, because I just recently got a new comptuer, which is faster than my old one, but that isn’t important right now, what is important is, in my old computer, the volume would randomly get really loud, and then randomly get really quiet. That hasn’t changed since I switched to my new computer, which means my speakers are about to go out or something, which sucks, because before they started messing up, these speakers were pretty good. Anyways, enough about my stupid speakers, I just went through a massive update spree on my website. First I had to update the actual wordpress itself, and then I had to update two plugins. If you think about it… but don’t think too hard, I did that once, and almost died! Anyways, if you think about it, updating three things isn’t really that massive, i just said it was massive, because I had to update the actual wordpress, which takes some time. But enough about that. I want to change gears again and talk about computer accessories some more. Have I ever mentioned that I hate… or rather dislike wireless mice? Or rather, I dislike how mine goes through batteries like they are going out of style. I personally love wireless mice, there are no wires attached to the mouse to get tangled up in the other wires on the computer. I plan to get a thumb trackball as my next mouse… when ever I do get a new one… my first priority is another hard drive, because… got to change songs again. There we go… now back to what I was talking about. Getting a new mouse isn’t my first priority, another hard drive is, because I am kind of running low on space. My second priority is a mix between buying guitar hero or rock band, or buying new speakers since mine are going out on me. I will most likely end up buying rock band though, because one: my speakers are still useable, and two: Rock band sounds more fun than guitar hero, because I can play the drums also instead of just a guitar… or I could make people go deaf with my horible singing, which I don’t think I will end up doing that. Anyways… now what? Oh yeah! For those of you that have ever used the ping command in the windows xp command prompt, have you ever gotten negative numbers? I have, and for those of you that know the reason why that happens, yes I am using a dual core processor. But for those of you that don’t know why that happens, I didn’t either, so I gewgled it, and found out why. In windows xp, if you are using a dual core processor, that will sometimes happen, and can sometimes mess up online gaming. You are supposed to be able to fix that problem sort of, if you tell the program that you are using to only run on one core instead of both. I have only tested that a little. I told teh command prompt to run on just the second core, because it is supposed to get more possitive numbers, while the first core shows more negitive numbers. Doing so has actually done something. I havn’t gotten any negative pings after setting the command promt to only use the second core. Though, I haven’t really tested it much, I just ran the ping test like two or three times. Anyways, that is all I wanted to say about the weird negative pings I have been getting. I guess I am done now. I will let you go now. I will just stare at my screen until I come up with something else to do. Thanks for reading this post… if you read all of it, if not, oh well.
