I wanted to start reading up on the latest and greatest in building a computer. I imagine I am at least 6 months or more off of getting one, but with WoW having issues I need something to do. There was a website/forums that I used last time I built my computer and for the life of me I can’t recall it’s name. I think you turned me on to it Scott so I hope you know what I am talking about. I know you said you didn’t like helping people build a computer because you get jealous or whatnot so I’ll try not to bother you too much about it.

Came across this, found it interesting and wanted to share it:

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous ‘yes.

The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

‘Now,’ said the professor as the laughter subsided, ‘I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things—your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions—and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car. The sand is everything else—the small stuff. ‘If you put the sand into the jar first,’ he continued, ‘there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life.

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

‘Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend time with your children and grandchildren. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner.

Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first—the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.’

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented. The professor smiled and said, ‘I’m glad you asked.’

The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.

The fan on it stopped working a few months ago so I am fairly confident that is the source of her crashing. I don’t have another pci express to test it for sure. I bought it 4-5-07 and it came with a 1 year warranty. I bought it from Newegg.com I don’t have the box it came in or anything so I don’t think I can get any warranty coverage. After I type this up I’ll go check the manufacturer’s website to see if I can have any relief. If not I am asking for the power of you smart people to find a reasonable replacement for Chandra’s computer. Don’t wanna spend much more then 80 dollars but if there is a really good one for a few bucks more then that is fine. Any help is welcome.

Well, I had an idea that I wanted to run buy the 5 of us that play together on Sunday/Monday/Tuesday.  I was thinking of doing a rotating schedule for which zones we wanna run. Each person would be responsible for finding out where their gear drops or where they wanna gain faction. When it is their night they tell us where to go. I guess we could do it alphabetically. I don’t know if anyone besides Scott reads this so, tell me what you think Scott, bur!

I need to figure out someway to make a fourm post that says the samething:

              “Scott, I sent in my WIT. Did you get it?”

Anyway, I wish everyone good luck in this year of the Rat.

Do you need me to send it again Scott? Will this post be enough to get you to post it? Are you sore Popcorn posted a WIT in a post and you don’t consider it an official WIT? Do you hate cute little kittens? What exactly do you have againts Norway? Will any of my sentences end without a question mark? Not likely. Damn!

European Heighten Threat Levels

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist
threats and have raised their security level from “Miffed” to
“Peeved”. Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to
“Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross”. Londoners have not been “A Bit
Cross” since the blitz began in 1940 and tea supplies all but ran
out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody
Nuisance”. The last time the British issued “A Bloody Nuisance”
warning level was during the great fire of 1666.

Also, the French government announced yesterday that it has raised
its terror alert level from “Run” to “Hide”. The only two higher
levels in France are “Collaborate” and “Surrender.” The rise was
precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France’s white flag
factory, effectively paralyzing the country’s military capability.

It’s not only the English and French who are on a heightened level of
alert. Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout loudly and
excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing.” Two more levels remain:
“Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides.”

The Germans also increased their alert state from “Disdainful
Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.” They also
have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbor” and “Lose”.

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual, and the
only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to
deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new
Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.
