Is Instant Coffee the Best Choice for a Lazy Day?

[rachmaninoff]

I think I'm going to make coffee. It seems like a good idea. Since I'm a delightfully lazy guy, it'll be instant coffee. I don't like doing stuff. Especially if it takes effort. Yeah.

I upgraded the RAM on my computer today. I got my own little network going, it’s so cool. I can print from any computer, and I have an external hard drive that I can access from any computer. I also got internet on any computer, all wireless. Oh yeah, and I got another book shelf from stamples because the one I had was overflowing. U guys got anything cool tech wise?

How droll...

I have a printer and a scanner.

How much did you upgrade your RAM? I am thinking of doing this cause it can't handle the size of the pictures I like to work with.

 

[Cyrus]

512MB (Two 256MB chips @~70 per), 100mhz, it was 150 bucks I think I paid too much...damn computer USA... I got 1GIG on my newer pc, its insane.

 

[Pengwuino]

I made out with a taco

 

[rachmaninoff]

I got a wireless network at home too. It's less effort than taping CAT-5 cables to the ceiling.

I finished making coffee. But it's still too hot to drink. So I'll wait.

 

[rachmaninoff]

stamples

What's that?

 

[Cyrus]

Yeah, it blew my mind the first time I pressed 'print' down stairs and heard the printer going upstairs. The same thing happened to me today when I set up my external drive. I was like 'wow' this is cool. I can access files from upstairs?? (oops should have typed staples)

You're saying you upgraded to 512? That's what came with on mine. I have two slots and each has a 256 in it. I'm going to take one out and put a gig in it. If that doesn't work I do the same to the other. Some day. When I'm rich, I mean.

That sentence has too many clauses. I remind you of the thread title. It specifically says, "no wit". So please remain witless.

 

[Pengwuino]

I love our wireless network... booooooooooooooooy would life be hell if we had to run CAT 5's all around.

 

[Cyrus]

Yeah zooby, my computer downstairs is 7 years old! Its 805Mhz athalon processor, 512MB 100mHZ SDRAM, 37.25GIG hard drive. Thus u can see why I needed the memory.

I got a wireless network at home too. It's less effort than taping CAT-5 cables to the ceiling.

Psst. ppl with common sense tape it to the FLOOR.

I love our wireless network... booooooooooooooooy would life be hell if we had to run CAT 5's all around.

Please, you live in a one room school house. I don't see the need for all that cat-5.

 

[rachmaninoff]

Actually it'd be really easy. I'd use duck tape. Ceilings, not floor. People can see the floor. No one looks at ceilings. The main problem would be, long stretches of cable. You'd have to crimp them yourself. To get the right lengths.Short sentences, people.

 

[Cyrus]

yeah... duck tape drywall...your brilliant man..

 

[Pengwuino]

Ours would have to run down downstairs and across the house so we'd have to drill out and everything about how the house is setup in the area where the cable line comes in makes it hard to do.

 

[rachmaninoff]

It won't work? Let's find out!

(Back in five minutes.)

I can try to hold it in, but that will just increase the internal pressure till the seams bust and there'll be a wit flood.

 

[Cyrus]

rach is in for a nice surprise when he peels it off...sucker..

 

[Cyrus]

What kinda cpu are you running Zooby?

 

[rachmaninoff]

What do you know, I can't find my duck tape.

I live in a sea of writhing, loose electrical cords of all kinds. I often have to beat them away with a baseball bat. They creep up on you like kudzu.

 

[zoobyshoe]

What kinda cpu are you running Zooby?

I have no idea. It works great, though.

 

[Cyrus]

Go to my computer on your desktop, right click, then go to properties. It will then show you your computer, and tell you the speed and RAM.

1.4 Ghz 512MB RAM

Not bad, not bad...you really shouldn't have any troubles with that machine looking at pics...

You assume everyone else uses Windows XP?

Don't say that at this hour! It's just past midnight, and I'm in a house surrounded with kudzu. Late last night I woke up and it was peering in through my window. It's up to something, I know it.

 

[Cyrus]

Yeah, I do. You got a problem with that, Id like to see you do something about it. oooooooooooooo. We can't all buy I-mac's just because they look 'cool' or run Unix because we want to be 'special.' Win xp is really good, hands down.

 

[rachmaninoff]

Yeah, I do. You got a problem with that, Id like to see you do something about it. oooooooooooooo

I don't get it, are you saying you're a kudzu?

 

[Cyrus]

I don't speak jibberish, translate.

 

[rachmaninoff]

Kudzu to you too!

 

[Cyrus]

Oh, its a plant...how.....lame.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Not looking at them, working with them with my various image editing software. I start off with large images, tweak them and save them still large. From there I can downsize them as separate files for whatever application. If you start small, though, you can't enlarge.

Frequently I am warned by a little pop-up message telling me the action I'm about to perform requires a large amount of memory. It then asks if I want to continue. Whenever that happens and I choose to continue it just takes a couple more edits before the whole RAM is completely bogged down and starts into snail mode.

 

[Jelfish]

Stupid CSS.. why can't firefox and IE agree??

Yes, kudzu is from Japan, the same people who brought you the sneak attack on Pearl Habor. Don't turn your back on it.

 

[zoobyshoe]

I've deleted IE about six times, but it keeps growing back, like kudzu.

 

[Jelfish]

stupid cross-browser compatibility. I should make websites that don't work in anything but my current browser of choice. That'll show.. me.

 

[tribdog]

I just read this thread and now I'm going to go to work. I'll begin by walking out the door.
