Every time I go 2 repair some thing it’s starting working normal, today one of the dell server started flashing a failed hard drive this the ultra 360 SCSI 15k rpm drives very expensive 36gig drive is about £180. the 1^st line guys went in shacked the hard drive put it back in no luck do the normal stuff no luck, so u know if I drive fail I can’t do much , decided to check what model no to buy so went their took it off gave it a bit of shake and put back. what do u know it’s started working normal, every one is shocked,

It’s been happening a lot now days, soon as I go near it started working, only think need is my touch,  

well playing with it over the weekend it\’s seems really fast and stable comes with more games and windows live search etc, I still have taken any screen shoots but will post some here soon

Finally got it to working on my Vista, shame it doesn’t come with Bash shell, I need to get that working as I’m more use to that than vista’s default C shell and Korn shell but with Bash you will have best of both worlds. I installed the SDK as well, Now I need to put this to a good use, will give the*nix network tools a try.

Well I had an old usb stick so thought to give the ReadyBoost a chance, put it in and set all the setting etc and restarted the computer, It didn\’t make my system faster but made my Itunes works with out any crash, don\’t ask me how. I don\’t even know how that\’s linked may be itunes is having trouble accessing prefetched data from the hard drive. Well it works so gone buy another super fast usb disk and use it

here is the video about ReadyBoost

 

I love my vista business so much I went and bought the ULTIMATE retail copy :D, I know I waste money like crazy, It\’s actually come in a nice case and both CD inc luded (64bit and 32bit). still need activation but allow to change computers, so not a bad deal

Finally I build my new computer , Intel E6600 with ASUS  P5B mother board, Its came with the raid controller I was ok as I don\’t store data on my computer so might as well go for RAID 0. Every thing went well till I try to download podcast on Itunes computer restarted automatically and my RAID controller started reporting as  \”Error Ocurred (0)\” on both drives. I know raid 0 is not safe but didn\’t think  it was this bad 😀

Any way as any one I searched  the error message on google to find out It\’s a itunes and Intel raid drivers issue, so updated the raid drivers with Intel  matrix console etc and It\’s seems to fix the restarting issues, now only itunes crash if I try to download any thing in their. so I moved the itunes library to my network drive and all good now.

Phew It did got me worried tho

 Bought an original IBM ps 2 model 50z with all the disks  😀

Is it me or I’m reading lot of attacks on the DNS servers, my host had trouble on Easter weekend. I couldn’t access my site or even my host site. Now it’s just pure dos attacks on dns servers noting fancy but take out lot of sites tho :-(. I think the hosting companies have to come up with solution or their 99% guaranteed thing wont be true

dame I forget to put them on this new template, I know I\’m forgetting some thing, 😀
