As payment for a KVM switch Sam agreed to come over and “fix” some computer rigs I hadn’t quite finished.  My first indicator that this was a poor idea was when a hard-drive memory test managed to destroy a motherboard.  In short order, what had been 3 functioning computers were reduced to a pile of [...]

My computer’s been making an odd noise and today I found that it was the fan on my graphics card.  I tried to clean it, and get the annoying buzz to stop I popped out the fan and gave it a thorough dedusting during which I lost one of the peg standoffs.  After putting the [...]

I was picking up a piece of trash when I heard the distinctive ripping noise that all self-aware fat men fear.  It is the noise of inferior stitching, mediocre materials, and a profound embarrassment.  Oddly, this tear was at my knee, but it slowly grew up my leg as the day progressed and with four [...]
