If I haven’t said it here I’ve certainly told friends of mine about how ridiculous this situation with my nearly 7 year old 1st generation Power Mac G5. If you watched the original videos about the G5 you heard about how silently the computer runs. Also you heard about how many freakin’ fans it has [...]

Seriously, most of the year my computer’s fan noise can be kept to a minimum by keeping the CPU running at reduced speed via the Energy Saver control panel, but when the weather is hot the computer is hot so that fan blows practically full speed.

Being a huge nerd, my computer obviously plays a large part of my life. So when it’s broken, it’s really like a thorn in a lion’s paw. It’s possible there’s very little you can do about it, and it just makes everything else around you extra irritating because you have this constant reminder of this [...]

So my computer’s video card is all sorts of messed up right now. This weekend I was taking a nap, and when I got up to wake my computer the monitor looked something like this. So I went to the Apple discussion boards to find out if it was my monitor or not. Someone suggested [...]

I actually did clean my apartment pretty thoroughly this weekend. I haven’t done a good cleaning in quite some time. I still have giant piles of DVDs sitting around my apartment because aside from my TV stand and its inefficient shelf space I don’t have another shelf for my DVDs. Partially because I don’t know [...]
