I know I missed the birthday of the Sega Genesis, but I didn’t realize it was so close. I am two days late. Sega Genesis debut on August 14, 1989 in North America. (wiki).
I was 2 1/2 yrs old @ it debut. At my dentist office there was a Sega Genesis in the waiting room but we didn’t have enough time to play it or some other kid was already playing it.
Well that’s it I would just like to post this to wish Sega Genesis a belated Happy 20th Birthday.

May all these stars RIP. I will remember where I was when they died.
I know I haven't posted in a while. I go to work, then come home and later go to sleep.
I haven't done much since my last post. He have gotten some rain, which is nice it is dry here. Modded my xbox, the original xbox. I installed a bigger drive, 250GB from the 10GB. I like to turn it into a server one day.
I've upgraded my video card in my PC to a Nivida GeForce 1GB 9400 GT. It has no fan just a heat sink it gets hot around 138*F. This is normal never the less. It does have a small connector for a fan that I can place on it if need be. My PC have front intake fan that I should pull air in to cool it. It should do alright that's why I installed it into my pc, because it has a front intake to pull air to it to cool it. I also got roughly the same card 512MB model that has a fan for my families pc, it has no intake fan so it need a fan to cool it. It hasn't been installed yet, but I will soon.
I am trying to stay away from ebay for a while so I won't spend too much money. I do plan to purchase something that is a good deal that has a $20 dollar rebate. It ends at end of April, I will wait until then to possibly order it.
Well that's all,
Later

Sunday I attempted to upgrade my "families" PC only to determine that the CPU I installed didn't work. I spent a lot of time taking that whole thing apart but I guess things happen. Static electricity would indeed destroy a CPU, but I used precautions and I know I didn't shock it. It was quickly approved for RMA return by Newegg.com & UPS picked it up today for replacement. I just have to wait until a new one arrives.
Till Then,
Well I installed a newer processor (CPU) in my computer. It took a little time because I have to take out all my expansion cards. I took a while mostly because I had to carry the PC to my kitchen table to get it high enough to work on. If I had more room in my room I wouldn't of had too do that.
Once that was done I had to update the BIOS so it would work with the new processor. It took some time to do because I couldn't do it like I wanted, by installing a floppy drive and loading the new .ROM file for the BIOS, the application I used didn't work, it didn't see the file. Luckily, my motherboard has many options to update the BIOS. I had to create a bootable MS-DOS floppy disk and copy the program which was on my ASUS support CD, to a floppy but it was too big bigger then 1.44MB, I was thinking it wanted to have everything on one disk. But what I did was create two disks I created a MS-DOS on one, the other was the ROM flashing program, and new ROM file and it worked. I was just glad I had other options for update the BIOS.
I spent most of the night watching "Titus" and running Spinrite on some hard drives I'm going to use when I upgrade my families PC, not mine.
So I just to post the update.
Later.
P.S. I still have not used my new camcorder Canon FS100. I just haven't had time from work and working on my computers. Frankly I just don't have time with work. I tired from after work so I try to do stuff on the weekends.
Friday I was going to stay up late to work on things but I didn't. I went to bed around midnight.
To make a long story short, I played with my new Canon camcorder. Saturday I installed my new hard-drive on my laptop. It took a few hours to install it using the recovery CD.
I just finished running memtest86, to check for memory errors, on my new RAM I ordered.
I am going to upgrade my PC's at home, probably next weekend, can't wait hope anything goes okay.
Good Night
Well I just wanted to post a blog, inform readers of activies that I'm doing and just to keep my blog active.
First, I'm looking into updating my main page @ justinstrack.com to something different. I'm going to work on that this week and into the weekend. I have no specific date to when it will be finished.
Second, I'm getting a Canon FS100 camcording coming in the mail, hope to post some videos when that arrives so there after.
That's about it for now tomorrow I got to go to work.
P.S.
Another thing I ordered many things for my computers in my house. Well, there are 2 main computers in my home, put I have a few more then two entirely.
Anyways, I ordered new CPU's 1 for my families computer and more RAM as well. Plus I ordered a new CPU, and RAM for my personal computer. I have a extra motherboard I am going to install on my families PC, the current mobo in the computer is maxed out to the speed it can go. So all-in-all, I ordered 2 CPU's RAM and hard drives. About $700.00 or so but all the items except for the CPU's were under $100 which is cheap so I couldn't pass it up.
So when that comes in I will install it. At least a week or so until delivery.
P.S.S
My goal for my upgrade on my personal computer is to quiet down my cpu fan, I hope the bundled fan which comes with the processor will be quiet, so I could at least leave it running at night.
I purchase a Dell Deminision 2400 from ebay, a while back, which I use all the time, right now in fact, it is very quiet because I'm able to sleep with it running. I use it to record shows at night while I'm sleeping.
Well that is it for the night
Just wanted to post for the new year. Happy New Year!!!

By the time this is posted it will be midnight, on Christmas Eve. Tomorrow I and my twin brother will be a year older.
Not much I wanted to say, just wanted to get a post out.
Merry Christmas it is Christmas Day.
My cousins from out of state are going to be staying at my grandma's house for the week, through Christmas. My other cousins from San Antonio are coming for the day today to see the other cousin's since they haven't seen them in so long. I'm working this week but it will be mostly nothing. We get a half-a-day on Christmas Eve off all day on Christmas and the day after.
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
When I first purchase my webhost back in March or April of this year, it was very cheap with unlimited space. Yes, they say unlimited but there is a limit. Well I was happy with the webhost but after a few months of using it there support went away. NO support, NOTHING. I paid $10/yr not a month a year, that comes to $0.80 something cents a month for unlimited space for my website.
Now that looked strange but this company had been in business for years so I went ahead with it. But all-in-all a few days ago I tried to go to my site but it didn't show up. I had a backup so I was okay there but it was crap that they didn't tell me anything.
I'm with a new host now, JustHost.com. I paid for 1 year at $4.95 a month. So far I am happy with it. I've asked questions and they answered in no time, even in a live chat. It has a 30-day money back guarantee, os I could try and cancel anytime within 30 days. After some work I re-posted my blog and here it is. This is a update blog and it is great I have a new theme, and it looks great.
Well I'll write back later.
Well as of 3:13pm August 4, I'm working. They are having a meeting at the moment to see when I will leave work. We are trying to take in as much, beans from the fields, as we can. It might be late into the night until I get off work.

Stay safe everyone.
This is just a quick test. I'm using Windows Live Writer. I'm watch the Fantastic 4 on FX.
Good Night
If you are viewing my blog as of 11:41am Sunday July 20, 2008, this a is an upgraded addition of Wordpress 2.6.
Well the weekend is finally here it has been a long week. I took off Monday to take delivery of my NEW Toshiba Laptop, I had to sign for the package. I did unpack it but put it back up since I don't want to mess with it at the moment. I'll post the stats about it later.
At the moment I'm writing this I am working on a client's two computers one a desktop the other a notebook. I have a KVM switch to switch between video inputs from my two computers. KVM stands for Keyboard Video & Mouse, which allows a computer user to use only one keyboard, mouse & monitor.
I plan to stay up till midnight tonight to get the bulk of this work done. I'm mostly fixing whatever the problem the client has as well as making sure their computer is up-to-date with the OS and anti-virus software.
So I'll post again another day
Good Night
