My stepson moved out on Friday and I requisitioned his room which is now my den/workshop. The garage served its purpose but it was noisy, draughty, very dirty and it didn't have a window!
Work in progress...

Hey...
We're getting married on 22nd of October!
First met in June 1976 as teenage sweethearts in Buenos Aires, life took us apart and then we met again in 2005.
The road is long, as they say...
:love:

Running Windows 10 with only 2GB of RAM is a painful experience and only slightly less painful with 4GB, which is the maximum a Biostar G31 motherboard will take (DDR2).
Anyway, the pensioner customer only browses the Web and plays Bridge online, so upping the RAM is the best I can do, within reason. Lucky to find the RAM anyway.

Just spent the last couple of days completely overhauling two of my websites and heck, did I learn a few things!

WordPress is actually quite forgiving and I've stuck to the absolute minimum of plugins. In fact, about two per site for the time being.

A spot of cable management on my VHS converting machine (Athlon 3000G) in a rather old case and Floyd approves.

Finally grabbed Wallpaper Engine purely for kicks and it is pretty cool. Although I don't spend a great deal of time staring at my desktop

My Corsair Strafe has been doing sterling work until recently when the right arrow key broke. I imagine it's because of overuse since I use the arrow keys for racing games, but it should have lasted longer than three of four years.
Anyway, the keyboard came with some spare keys which is just as well because I can't find any replacements here in BA.
If it works, it works.

Remember AMD Overdrive Thermal Margin?
Took me a while to wonder what was going on here with an ambient temp of 25c and a stock air cooler.

Hola ! Hace algunos meses posteaste una consulta sobre una HP touchsmart 320 que no encendia.
Me esta pasando algo parecido: la maquina funcionaba bien, pero la abri para upgradear a SSD y, al armarla nuevamente no enciende. Prende el led de power pero no arranca nada !

Pudiste resover el problema ? Tendras alguna idea para darme ?

Gracias !

Not seen many of these in a while.

I just snagged a cheap XenForo 2.2 license and an even cheaper domain, so that's me busy for the next several ~~hours~~ days.

Amazing what a 1KB file can do if it disappears. The index.php file on my expat forum went walkabout and it took me four hours to realise why the site had literally disappeared.
Am I glad I had a backup?

Just finished a very pleasurable website build for my daughter and I even managed to learn a few things along the way - not least a little more understanding of CSS and inspector.
And let's not forget zero SSL.
