Updates and Stuff
So it's been awhile since I actually did an update rather than a quiz so here goes. Went to the H.I.M. concert, got to see Skindred who were great though the crowd didn't appreciate them too much, wrong venue in my opinion. Here's a pic I took of H.I.M
Yeah don't try and adjust your screen I took the picture with my phone, it really is that blurry =) But other wise awsome time, minus a few jackasses that were there and a few bouncers. Anyway been working like crazy and studying for finals, too bad our Hacking professor found a better job he really knew his shit. Oh I drilled a massive hole in the ceiling, I would take a pic but you can't see it that well since I have a popcorn ceiling. I was trying to hang my projector but either the drill I have is under powered or there might be a steel beam in the concrete, either way I'm trying again soon. Work has been nuts here's my current desk
I had to reinstall 4 laptop all at the same time for some new training we will be doing and they want nothing on there but Windows and Office, man what a pain IBM is. These laptops atleast had most of the drivers but their desktops now that a whole other world. You would think major company, IBM, would have a nice driver set, uh no. Install Windows 2k, detects not a damn thing, no video, no sound, no ethernet, no usb, etc. So ethernet driver was the same across the board, installed that on all the machines, went to IBM's website clicked "Detect My Machine" and then clicked "Download Drivers" now at that point it should be easy, well it ain't. It points you to atleast 3 different manufacture drivers for each item, then half the time the drivers either cause the machine to lock up or they aren't even the hardware in your machine. So basically I had to run CPUID-Z, thank god someone makes a motherboard detection utility that actually works. And then hit up Intel for chipset drivers, video drivers, etc. Time for work will post more when I get home.
