The 411... and what not.....
Alright, alright... I have now been nudged a trillion times and I will post....
Here is the 411....
* Life is same ol'...same ol'....
* I still use {these dots not drugs}........ after everything I say.....
* Ferret is the most difficult yet the most awesome lil' person in the world....
* I am now going to start running 30 minutes before and after work ( Read more... )
Because of my first rule of computer work: Friends. Don't. Pay.
It is not a rule that will make me rich, but it's one that gives me warm fuzzies knowing I can do something good for my friends in return the good they do for me, regardless of how aware they are of all they do for me. It's a rule that lets me sleep at night.
Look at it another way: I paid nothing for the parts, my only cost was my time. That isn't a cost since it serves two of my own selfish purposes: (1) It hopefully gets you online and (2) finds a good home for a decent machine. If it sits there, unused, that defeats my selfish purposes and bothers me.
Now if you win the lottery, write a bestselling novel, or in any other way make it big, I expect some serious payola (and an order for a much better machine). Until then, you don't need to pay me a dime. I have a job, a better paying one than I had 6 months ago, I'm not broke, and I like building and fixing machines. For fun.
Besides, I probably know what the problem is: Some asshole jacked up the security settings as high as they'll go and it's being a pain in the ass because of it. Take me half an hour to put it the way you want.
