Wireless Mouse on the Fritz
July 28, 2005 – 10:02 pm
Almost every night lately my wireless mouse goes nuts. The optical light or whatever you call it starts blinking non-stop, which makes the cursor jump across the screen whenever I try to do something. It’s as if it’s getting a constant signal from something else in the area. Anyone have any ideas?
Dial 0
June 29, 2005 – 7:57 pm
I’m working on a friends computer right now and the thing doesn’t even have a network card. I can’t remember the last time I saw a computer with only a modem. What did I get myself into?
Don't Click It

What would you do in a world without clicking? Seems rather annoying to me.
T is for Tab

Have you ever went to hit the Tab key and pressed T instead? I’ve been doing it quite a bit lately.
Hear This

Everyone once in awhile my PC speakers will pick up what sounds like a walkie talkie or some kind of phone. How is this possible?
Apple Carts
April 8, 2005 – 11:10 am
Recently I’ve been thinking about buying a Mac. An apple a day keeps the doctor away…right? Below are the prices I’ve come up with for a 15 inch PowerBook, 17 inch PowerBook, and Mac Mini. I’d much rather have a laptop, because I already have desktop with my Dell server. $2,500 is a lot of [...]
Fresh Build
March 5, 2005 – 2:23 am
I just finished rebuilding my computer. For the non-geeks, this means I erased everything on my computer and reinstalled Windows and all of the software. I only managed to forget to back up one thing, but it was a pretty big one. I forgot to make a copy of my poker history files, so I [...]
Mac mini
January 12, 2005 – 9:34 pm
At $500, I think it’s time to start thinking about trying a Mac mini. People have been ranting and raving to me for the last year or two that I need a Mac. At this price for such a tiny little thing, I don’t know if I could pass it up. Although I think the [...]

Need a faster computer? The Mach 5 should suit most people’s needs.
This And That
February 22, 2004 – 5:35 pm
Went out to an 80’s bar last night with a few friends and ended up staying until closing time. As a result I’m feeling a little “under the weather” today. The bar is pretty cool…they have a big screen TV that they play videos on while the song is playing, so you get the feeling [...]
New Toys
February 18, 2004 – 11:35 pm
Today I bought a new electric razor on Ebay. I went with a Norelco Advantage 6737XB, since it’s one of the best models made my Norelco. My Remington just hasn’t been treating me too well anymore, so it was time for a change. Suprisingly I was the only person to bid on the auction. It [...]
Gallery Upgrade
February 14, 2004 – 1:23 am
I just finished upgrading the Photos section of the site to use Gallery 1.4.2. The only reason I upgraded was because they had found a pretty big security hole in the previous versions of the software. I didn’t feel like having someone hack into my web server. The upgrade went pretty smoothly, except that I’ve [...]
Running Linux
February 12, 2004 – 11:01 pm
My new server, with Linux installed, is up and running. I’m making this post from it right now as a matter of fact. It will take me some time to get used to it and learn my way around. It’s been a few years since I’ve had a Linux box, so there is quite a [...]
A New Puter
February 5, 2004 – 12:52 pm
I ordered a new computer today from Dell. They have a pretty sweet deal going on right now for a server. It has a free upgrade from a Celuron processor to a Pentium 4 2.26 GHz, comes with a 40 GB hard drive, and all the basics. It doesn’t come with any software, but I [...]
Good As New
December 9, 2003 – 11:20 pm
I just finished rebuilding my computer, which in simple terms means that I cleaned off the hard drive, reinstalled Windows XP and all of my programs.
Computer Box

This is a true story…
As most of you know, I work for the Help Desk at SVSU. A few weeks ago we were cleaning the Nachi virus off of computers for students who lived on campus. A co-worker of mine told a female student that we only needed her to bring in the [...]
