Post from my HTC Hero Android Smartphone.

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

This my first post that I have created using my HTC Hero. I downloaded and installed the WordPress Android app and set it up to post straight to my blog.

This app allows me to create a post, a page and to read and edit comments. It will be very handy for making quick posts on da go.

The one thing about posting from my phone is that there are far less ways to make a post look better. I have plugins for both my blog and browser that enhance my post editing capabilities.

So, for now from me and my phone, goodbye.

PC is Fixed

It is a very wet bank holiday weekend and with not having anywhere in particular to go I dived head on into all the PCs that need repairing. I had one PC that I was fixing for someone which was not starting up. Got that going and packed it up and is ready to be delivered to its owner.

The next one was my own Dell PC which has been giving trouble for quite some time now. At start up it was giving an error message. After a lot of routing and fault finding I discovered that it was a corrupt file that was stopping it from loading. Repaired it and this PC is now up and running and is now going to act as my main base station for downloading and running a lot of background tasks that take a lot of time to complete and which might take a lot of CPU power. This would leave me my netbook to do everyday tasks and programming.

All in all it did take me a few hours to do but I now have another item ticked off my to do list.

Goals

Sunday, March 21st, 2010

Sitting here at the window and watchin the world go by. People passing by going about their lives, blissfully unawares of all that is happening around them. Other peoples lives, other peoples hopes, other peoples dreams. Thinking only of themselves, their dreams, there hopes and that one day they will reach them. Thing is, will they reach them? Will they allow the problems that face them now to stand in their way? One problem solved, another arises, its life, its how it goes.

The problem that faces most people is that they are blinded by problems, that they can’t see a way out, a way to achieve what they want, what they need to do. Overthinking problems is a way to get stuck in a rut. Consider the problem, focus on what you need to do to get where you want. Planing step by step. Big goals can be reached by setting small goals as a stepping stone on the way.

I have my plans for my future, my goals set, my stepping stones are being arranged in order to make the path that bit easier. My problems, not over thought about, not getting in my way. Dealing with them as best I can, but not hindering my progress.

I know what I want from life, what I want to achieve and to be honest, I am ready to start getting to my goal. I have been one of the worlds worst prograssionators, but I am ready to move on, to finally do something with my life.

An Absence

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Hey folks.

It’s been a while since my last post. Was going to do one last week but ended up being off work and college sick for the week with little energy to do much. It reminded me just how rubish day-time TV really is and how much I don’t miss it, except maybe two and a half men, it has its funny moments.

One of the latest editions to my computer “network” is a Samsung N110 netbook. This topped with two PCs and my laptop means that I have built up a bit of a small home network. One of the PCs is fecked, so it is being used for parts for the other one and the laptop needs an overhaul as it is running quite slowly and having a few issues. The netbook allows me to have a platform to work on at all times as it is portable and combined with my HTC Hero I can gain access to the internet anytime and anywhere.

I have been using the HTC Hero as a HSDPA modem for when I am out and about. I dual booted the netbook with ubuntu and windows 7. Ubuntu is winning out so far as I love its simple and easy to use GUI and I am learning where different functions are in Ubuntu all the time. So far so good.

I was also hoping to go into my trip to London recently but think that I will save this for a separate post of its own. Saw a lot of things and did a lot things while there for 4 days.

Anyway that is it for now.

Talk again soon.

PC Problems Again

Technology is a something or other at times. I love technology and all things computer related, but sometimes I find my love for it lacking. When it works, it works great, but when it starts to give trouble, it gives proper trouble. My PC won’t start up. Gives and error message telling me that the system battery is low, and then proceeds to tell me further that the OS won’t load.

I’ve had a similar issue to this before, where the PC would not load the OS, I had to change hard drives as the first one was fried and I lost a lot of info, but I reckon that this is more related to the system battery being low and not allowing the OS to load until the battery is replaced. Thankfully this time there is not as much stuff on the hard drive as the last time due to a fresh start along with the installation of windows 7.

Going to try a battery that I have in a PC that I don’t use that is left lying around. Must check to make sure that it is compatible first.

I’m back. Finally got the site back up and running, very temporarily. As you can see it is set on the default wordpress theme. Soon to be changed I assure you. It might take me a few days to get things to the way they where as I have lots of reports and projects due in college over the next few weeks and to top it all of, I have exams too. So blogging and my blogs appearance will take a back seat for now.

Well it’s now 3am and i’m not long home from work, just delighted to have the blog back up and running. So at this late hour I will say good night and talk to you again soon.

Night night.
