got my puter back up and running. seems like my 2nd memory slot on my mobo is just plain broken. but everything else works fine. in fact, it runs hunky dory when just one stick is in there, but when i put in a second stick (identical crucial pc133 cas2 256mb sticks), the computer will either not post or not turn on at all. messed up
found some memory testing programs: memtest86 written by an sgi employee, and memtest, which i’m using. runs good.
oh, if you haven’t been following current events, there’s rioting going on at the Summit of the Americas, protesting the ftaa. cnn and msnbc have really crappy quality. in fact, msnbc on tv is showing live imagery without any information at all. talk about image as surface, and stripping away content and meaning. you owe it to yourself to check out the quebec indymedia center and learn more about the ftaa – live (real, ick) stream at ctvnews as does abcnews.
and today was such a nice day too, 60 degrees but super sunny, dynamix truck handing out free boxes of tribes2, and listening to a lunchtime jazz concert on campus.
