Ick. Tried to go to Blogger’s discussion board…XML error. That stucks. Was curious to see how that shit was working out for everyone.
Just talked to Alex. He’s real proud of my Axim Users Dot Com site… hopes it continues to take off. He’s on his way home from San Diego this Wednesday. It’ll be good to have him back, for sure.

I guess I got it a little quieter…the SN41G2, that is. Further research leads me to believe that my “high speed” Western Digital hard drive whines!
So…if NewEgg lets me, I’m going to send back the WD and get a Seagate Barracuda V, which is much quieter!
Trying to sell my V-Dub. Thought a guy from Cheboygan would buy it, but he’s not interested. Oh well, let’s see what EBay yields me… auction ends tomorrow at 10AM.
I wanted to take advantage of GM’s 0% APR through April 30. Probably won’t happen.
Great weather. Ran 4 yesterday. Wanted to ride today…but my back tire needs a new tube.

I received my SN41G2 last week…what a beauty. I noticed it was kind of loud, so I started to find ways to quiet it down. I came here. I replaced the 80mm fan w/ a Vantec Stealth 80mm fan. Seemed to help. I first tried to put a Zalman 80A on my GF4 Ti4600, but quickly found out that it doesn’t fit. Oh well. So I 7-volted it. Seemed to be quieter…but not quiet enough. Must be the PSU fan. That’s next.
In the meantime, I installed SpeedFan 4.08. Wanted to see how this thing worked, since everyone on here seems to use it. Fired it up, but couldn’t get the fan speeds to go down… no biggie. I decided I’d deal with it today. Well…..
When I went to my XPC this morning, I noticed my LCD was black…no biggie, power savings. So I thought…
PC must have froze up in the middle of the night. I opened the case to make sure the Ti4600 fan was still spinning. It was. Made sure the PSU and heatpipe fans were still spinning. They were. So I figured I’d hit the reset button, no go. I figured I’d do a cold power cycle. No go. I pulled the PSU plug, waited, plugged it in, held Insert, and hit power. No go.
Damn thing…it won’t boot up.

Oh boy!!! I finally upgraded our computer room. We now both have LCD monitor and Shuttle SN41G2 boxes. Man, these things are pimp!!! I LOVE how they look and love how small they are!!!
Stay tuned. Busy getting everything nice and slick.

So I tried a new commute to work today. 
I took I-75 to I-94. Worked out very well. I think it was my fastest commute yet, considering I got onto I-75 at Rochester Road instead of just taking Mound down to I-696. I HAD to get my White Chocolate Mocha from Starbucks
Getting pretty excited about this whole house thing. Life is full of ups and downs, me guesses.
I can’t believe I’m getting my LCD monitor today. I just ordered it yesterday, thought it was going to ship on or before April 15. Didn’t think it’d ship on the day it was ordered. Dell is too BIG for that!!! Good thing they have a distribution center in Indiana!
Now I just have to sell my two monitors, and get the Shuttle boxes ordered!
Have a good day for now…it’s kind of early.
