Computers are fun
So now that I'm at the RAM COMP V2.0 store, I'm learning new stuff about computers. I'm also pricing and building a computer online and hoping to be able to get it this summer. It will be my very own custom built Beast BOX PC, built by myself with lots of help from Mike Thomas. In the mean time though, I've been trying out new hacked themes on Style XP, and I stumbled across an awesome theme a few hours ago. Its a theme for Windows XP based on AlienWare machines, its the same theme that the real AlienWares come with. Hopefully the pic will work so you can see how it looks on my windows Media Player. I really like this new theme cause it matches the colors I like, and its got nice Eye-Candy. The start panel is a metallic gray with an Alien head on the start button, with black background on the clock and icon tray. Folders are white with black inside and a glowing blue light coming from inside. The recycle bin is black with a blue laser light on the top, the my computer and my network icons are now AlienWare Area 51 models of black desktop PC towers, this whole thing is just awesome, I love it all. The text for windows is Black and the current window has blue light text. Last night I downloaded a new version of Tetris called Tetris 4000, I played that for hours cause I remember how much I used to love Tetris but never had a version on my computer, this one is a nice version too, its all spiffy with 3D blocks, mp3's converted into midi's, awesome effects and backgrounds, it even has an announcer to tell you awards if you do something cool. Well, aside from downloading millions of kb of movies lately and updating some sites I've got running, I'm in the process of making a music server. This will allow anyone with internet access(ie. computer, cell phone, mp3 with streaming audio) to access my library of shared music and stream any songs they want to hear. Right now the shared songs are just over 1000, but the last step I have to make this server complete is the one I'm stuck on. Its routed from an http site into my computer, but the problem is that its behind my router with the firewall, so once I can figure out how to redirect it through the router and into my computer then it will be up and running for all to enjoy. Well, its getting late and I'm thinking I should powerdown or at least attempt to go into sleep mode, my shoulder has been bothering me lately.
