10 Minute Review Of The Everex Green gPC TC2502

Yesterday I received my Everex TC2502 Green gPC. I paid a whopping $200 for the PC which included a mouse, keyboard and a small pair of speakers. Windows doesn’t come on this PC there is a fairly new Linux distribution called gOS that comes preinstalled. Sadly I missed the UPS man and I had to wait until he came back today. After it arrived I quickly opened it and started setting it up. The first thing I noticed was the fact that the PC is very light in comparison to my Sony Vaio. The next thing I noticed is that my mouse didn’t have a ball :( Further inspection reviled that the small plastic cover broke. Specifically the two tiny pieces that once twisted into place actually hold it together. I ended up using a few pieces of Scotch Tape to hold it together.

MASSIVE Fluff Friends List For Facebook

There are quite a few applications on Facebook one of the more popular ones is (fluff)Friends. Mike Sego is the creator and I guess he works at Google (must be nice). Fluff Friends has about 340,000 daily active users. So what is the purpose of this game? It is kind of like a virtual pet that you feed, pet and race. You can buy it different foods and backgrounds. The various foods increase the speed of your Fluff. I have a cowe (not a cow but a cowe, it is the same animal, I want to make a baseball glove out of mine) that is saying not very cleverly “I’M RICH BITCH!”. Well because in Fluff terms I’m pretty damn rich (57480 Munny). I wanted to get even more than before mentioning the fact that I had a ton of money but I’ve lost interest mainly to Warbook. It is also very pointless since all I care about is MUNNY. I liek Munny…you like Munny too? No way. We should totally hang out. Ok moving on…

Where Have We Been?

Well it has been a long time without an update. Have we ran out of things to write about? Not in the least. Last month was rather busy. I played more video games than I have in the longest time. Halo 3 came out and then there was Portal (Orange Box). I also moved and decided to switch hosting companies. My thoughts were very positive until a few minutes ago when I finally decided to do some work and got a CPU quota warning. Now the whole reason I left Dreamhost was because of the sometimes ridiculous load averages. Overall it was sluggish for a large amount of time. I didn’t mind all the time but I wanted to find something better.
