My past two notebooks have been Dells.. moving from a compaq evo n115 then I moved to a hp nx9005 business model laptop to a dell inspiron 6000 then after that i got a inspiron 6400 which is what I’m using now. However as of today I’ll be moving back to the hp camp with the dv6000 :). I’ve been watching this laptop for months and finally I got it.. It just felt right in my lap too i overheard ma bredrin saying how much u think i could sell a hp dv6000 for and i was like where is it.. told him i’ld give him 50 he’s like okay.. i’m like sold nigga bring dat shit.. and now its in my room.. * i need a charger though *.

The system is a real beast too. built for multimedia. has a remote has built in web cam dual speakers and dual headphone jacks (so u can share with a friend :D)

I had a nokia 6111 a few months back. a neat little phone. slider camera video recorder. nice. very sleek phone. It had a flaw though nokia built the phone stupid. The slider springs can easily cut the ribbon that attaches the screen to the board. That is exactly what happened to mine and quite alot of other people.

Anyway i ordered a replacement ribbon from ebay all the way from china. I thought i was ripped off because 2 months had past and I hadn’t gotten the damn thing. 3 maybe 4 months later i get a package.. the stupid ribbon. I still have the hpoen in a ziplock  bag but its missing a part that i sold (the friggin screen). How upsetting. (Roaaaaawwwrrr).

but its fine i still plan to sell it as parts. But lesson learn from all this dont buy it from china unless you got all the time in the world

I sold my fuji finepix s5200 on saturday 29, April. I now have nothing but the crappy cam on my qtek 9100 for the next i dont even know how long.. My next purchase will be the digital rebel XT… yeh that is correct i have changed my mind from getting a rebel xti because i dont think the upgrades from the xt to xti is worth 250 at all. At least not to me. xti is basically xt + 2mp plus a few firmware upgrades.

If i’m lucky i can get a black xt.. I hate silver cameras my first ultra zoom camera was silver and it got ugly quickly.. Black all the way mang. Hopefully i can pull an Canon Rebel XT EOS 359D out of my hat by next month.

Now I’m contemplating selling my notebook.. I wanna upgrade to what I call the big juice.. the hp 6000t. this bitch is gonna kill tings

256mb nvidia gfx card

2 gig of ram

lightscribe dvd burner

intel wireless prou g/b

intel core 2 dou 1.7 ghz processor

media remote

brite view monitor 15.4 inch monitor

80 gig hd

YOOOOOOOOWWWW i’m back.. i’m trying to fight it though bbut my techjunkie urges are at their peak.. i see some stuff that i want.. including that new cam.. but i dunno if i’m really gonna take the plunge as yet.

I also found out that its possible for my qtek 9100 to utilize the blackberry service. yep.. its got a blackberry mail client so i can use push email technology and best of all pay for internet on a monthly basis 1500 per month instead of the disgusting gprs costs…

To all ma linux peoples you better get amsn. its the closest port to msn on linux.. it even gives web cam functionality.. I love it.. love it love it.

um….  I also saw this webcam that i think i’m gonna ownerize really soon along with this watch.. amazon takes all my money when i go on these sprees :(..

here’s the fossil watch.. here’s the logitech web cam..

The watch i’ve been watching for quite some time now.. i dont have a watch ne more and i love the look of that one therefore. i must have it. the web cam is me making use of my 3mb connection to video chat with some hot chicks :)..

I needed a system to use asap that could be easily configured no need to fix video resolution and all so i formatted and installed vista. i was amazed i’ll give you that. there was no driver install needed i installed and everything worked right out the box, latest driver for everything. but within a day vista’s nasty bugs started showing up. wifi stopped workign dont know why. my window close button became greyed out and could only be closed via alt + f4. so what did i do… i formated again

oh due to this show on nbc called heroes i have bougt a 21 inch rca flat screen (not flat panel) tv. yeh.. well worth it.. heroes should be watched live before tehn rewatched in hd on dvd player

Manning cup and Dacosta cup feels like a demon that i’m fighting with and man its a losing battle i’ve never done a more boring and disgusting job.. i wish it would just go away but thats not how the demons of our work world works is it. Just gonna have to try and overcome it with somee holy code eventually.

I haven’t really been blogginb much maybe its because i’m not happy at work anymore.

But enough with the sad part, I’m now a hereos addict and i cannot wait till tomorrow to see the new episode. and i’ve decided to build a pvr so i can record th episode and watch em when i feel like.

linux wise, i finally upgraded to edgy eft it took me long enough right. only thing that happened on attempt was gnome kept crashing so i had to use fvwm for a bit until i figured out  a way how to open gnome within fvwm (by starting the gnome session locted in /usr/share/xsession/gnome/gnome.session) then i disabled the compiz startup and  a few othrs that i had to set to get it working now i’m back in a real desktop enviroment (kde is rubbish fvwm sucks and nothing else matters really).

currently everything that used to work in dapper works in edgy i did not have to redo my wifi setup with ndiswrapper which i had to redo when i upgraded from breezy to dapper. and thats about it really.

oh one more drama, scotia puts on a car show yearly at the national arena right i was told it was this saturday so me and a lady friend were supposed to hit the spot she wanted to do highlights from the event for her website “http://yaadrides.com” however right before i laced up my shoe to leave the house i got a call from her saying “um.. its next week, there’s a jlp convention going on”.. then i looked dodwn on my shirt (orange shirt) thinking omfg i would have died today walkin into the arena filled with green sporting a bright orange shirt (no i’m not a partisan person) and frankly thinkg both the parties governing and opposition should be sent on a one way ride to hell. bruce is evil and the current government is rubbish..

bleh just the drama mix with my views and what i been up to lately.. till next time.

I realized it last night my battery led on the notebook began to blink and i checked the power remaining from the gnome-power-notification package which i will refer to as g-p-n from now on.. and it said 100% i’m like wtf is going on.. did a few checks and restarted still nnothing it always starts with the corret notification tho meaning if it is plugged in it starts showing that it is plugged in or starts saying its charging and if its plugged out its starts showing its running on batteries and the actual life of the battery but it doesnt recieve any updates after that to make changes to the g-p-m status in the panel.. i dont think i did a hal upgrade recently and i remember having a problem where my system dbus and or hald, where they started after my g-p-n i fixed that by putting the dbus shell exec command in my session startups and it worked perfetly..

So referring to my previous problem i proceeded to remove the dbus shell exec comand or rather disable it…. It solved nothing… So I still need to figure it out..

here’s my terminal output from lshal -m with the power unplugged.
—————————————
acpi_BAT0 property battery.remaining_time = 7171 (0×1c03)
acpi_BAT0 property battery.charge_level.rate = 23776200 (0×16acbc8)

then i put the power in and bam
