Title: bad luck man.
Post by: Animal on October 04, 2001, 09:29:00 PM: yeap, thats me.

this month ive had an unbelievable streak of bad luck...

1.) I order a very expensive sound system for my car. came dead. RMA takes a month.

2.) My hard disk dies. RMA will take around a month.

3.) Motherboard dies.

4.) Car alternator dies.

5.) Almost died flying a Cessna.

6.) Order new motherboard cpu and ram; got assdiddlyed with shipping prices.

7.) Install parts. Boots very fine and I'm a happy man. log to windows, and reboot. No booting. No beeps. Dead motherboard? dead cpu? dead RAM? faulty power supply?

Yes, I know this is mostly just stuff. but man, does it bother me. technology hates me. I will burn all my posessions, wear a green robe, and live in the forest as a hermit druid, whom the locals believe is the return of El Chupacabra.

I guess I wont try 1.08 in a long, long time.

Post by: Animal on October 05, 2001, 01:37:00 AM: LOL Staga, I have that page bookmarked now :)

UPDATE: My video card is officially dead for no apparent reason. Rest in peace my friend.

I got the motherboard working with an old duron processor. But it dont work with the brand new 1.4 Athlon.

And to really spice things up, I'm on a killer hangover, one of those that makes you thing wild things; like killing yourself, or worse... never drinking again

hope you amazinhunks are enjoying 1.08. I hope the HTC servers go down until I fix all my problems.

Post by: Animal on October 05, 2001, 01:39:00 AM: Another bad luck update!!!

Im on my fathers laptop, and for some strange reason, they are restricting me from checking my email.

I can log into every porn site, but I cant log on www.amexmail.com (http://www.amexmail.com) or www.usa.com (http://www.usa.com)

the 2 only blocked sites.

This is not bad luck.. this smells like conspiracy. Im paying for all my sins on channel 1...

Post by: Staga on October 05, 2001, 02:06:00 AM: btw Animal I'm using www.beer.com (http://www.beer.com) mail-service to check my private posts from my home ISP's pop3 mail server when I'm at work.
Maybe you could get your posts same way ?

Edit:
I saw you're using web-based mail and not a pop3 service. Guess this post doesn't help you too much.
Of course you could have a animal@beer.com addy if its still free.

What about the step where you rub the balloon on your head just before you pull components.

Post by: Skuzzy on October 08, 2001, 03:17:00 PM: Been the month of technology snafus Animal.

Let's see:
1) Sunday night Verizon reset the DSL circuits here, but forgot to check to see if they have a copy of the card configuration. Bingo! DSL clients all down for 7 hours while I feed them the DLCI information for every client on our network. (Probably delayed 1.08 as HTC is on that circuit too).
2) Tuesday night, to rub salt in to the wound, Verizon decides to move the DSL circuits to a backup card, only the backup card is flaky. 4.5 hours downtime.
3) Friday night, Verizon decides to switch back to another card, and forgot to plug the card into the cage,..2 hors downtime for DSL clients.
4) Saturday morning, Savvis decides to do some maintenance and upgrade the Juniper router we are connected to, but the OS upgrade went badly. Savvis down from 2am to 7am CST.

It was the week from hell. My wife knew I had it bad when she noted I put my pants on inside out and was wearing my underwear as a shirt. Her comment, "Honey, you look geekier than usual".

Post by: Animal on October 08, 2001, 03:22:00 PM: LOL Skuzz.

Isnt your computer supposed to be better after an "upgrade"?

Post by: Vulcan on October 09, 2001, 05:36:00 AM: It gets worse animal:

I just got the results from the STD clinic, lets just say you should get your butt checked immediately (noticed any puss leaking out of lately).

love always,
Vulcan.

Post by: Animal on October 09, 2001, 04:27:00 PM: You got the results?
it was so nice of you Vulcan to go with me to the clinic; after all those wild nights, every critter in my blood you are sharing.

back to the topic, it seems like I'm not the only one having a bad month. it has been great sitting in the tower and watching round after round of Me262's ramming the palm trees.
