Well, I added a PCI card to my computer. Now I have 4 more USB ports (plus two on the inside, which I figure I can use for some wireless things, but really confused me other than that). The upgrade was slightly hiccupy, but ended well. Now I don't have a huge mess of wires on top of each other in a small amount of space because of many USB cables and not enough ports. I can now use my USB splitter for it's original purpose: my laptop. Yay!

Happy New Year and other assorted things
Happy New Year Everyone!!! Here's to a great 2009. Hopefully, you all have a good year ahead of you.
Well, today I was able to finally fix the family computer. We pulled things out, put things back in, and suddenly, it worked... except we had to reinstall windows. Lucky, the data is all backed up.
The funny thing is, we're not really sure what happened. All we did was moving things and connect and reconnect things, and in the end, edited some things in the BIOS, which seemed to clear things up. The question I had, then, was, what the heck changed the BIOS? It made the computer unbootable. Oh well, we'll see if things work after a while...
In other news, I got to see my little cousin yesterday. He's 2 months old and he REALLY ADORABLE!!!!! And the best part was... I made him smile!! So cute...
Well, that's all for now. More on the computer maybe later, and more on the random things that happens to me later as well. Sayanara!

Not much happened today
Got back home, with electricity and internet. Went to a few more parrandas (Puerto Rican caroling). and a bit of other random things... but otherwise, nothing to special...
Tomorrow I'm going to try to figure out what's wrong with the family computer. As far as I can tell (from the Dell website) it's a card error and a memory error, which might be the same thing, except I haven't the slightest idea how yet. Well, wish me luck tomorrow... Hopefully, I won't get zapped. (If it turns out, as I suspect, that we can't fix it, one of my cousin's cousins works at an IT place, and we can give him a call too.)
More on this tomorrow...
