Ouch. Three out of four is XBox talk for "Durrrrr I pooped myself." It's pretty much done. If you have a warranty on it, you can get it fixed relatively cheaply (the last time it happened to me, I ended up paying around $50 including paying for good shipping).

Otherwise, I say use this as an excuse to invest in a new XBox 360. The new "Slim" ones are a lot quieter, have better ventillation (big fan on one of the big sides, and vents along either end of the machine). Plus, they have built-in wifi, which can make setting them up for XBox Live or streaming video a lot easier.

(If anyone is curious, a full red ring means "A/V cord is unplugged", as opposed to a 3/4 ring which is a general hardware failure. Or maybe it means "A/V Cord unplugged, and one of the red LED lights is broken" :D)

Thanks sweetie. I'll check the a/v cord but will expect the new machine.

heya my nerd friends.. hope everyone had a great weekend and have an amazing week! talk to that pretty girl behind the counter at the bookstore.. she thinks you are kinda cute!!!
 
Very nice tits, Micro. I'm sure your already swollen inbox is bursting at this point.

Good evening nerds.
Upon further reflection, I have come to the conclusion that money does, indeed, buy happiness. Directly and without much need of middle influences.

Ohs? Did you come into some that you'd like to share? :p


Psst, we've still not talked about gaming systems

Well, I'll be getting into the training program for a promotion on Oct 16 that increases my pay rate from What Do You Mean You Eat Every Day? to Why Yes, I Can Pay Four Months Of Rent With This Month's Pay and Eat Decently.

Believe me, if I suddenly came into money, out of nowhere, I'd visit my frozen neighbors to the north. More than a few of you I'd like to meet.

Nice! Does your wage go up effective as soon as you start the training or upon completion?

KP is currently waiting on getting into the management program at her work, which will give her a 50% pay raise. It'll be nice to be able to pay down our debts faster :p
 
As soon as I get a chance to enroll in and complete Airman Leadership School, I'll finally get to pin on Staff Sergeant, which comes with a $200 a month raise over my current grade of Senior Airman.

Did I mention that this raise will be retroactive to July? Yay backpay!

Of course, with backpay comes the heartbreak of Finance getting confused and fucking up my pay. Again. You have to hold their hands sometimes.

Moderate increase during training, full upon completion. Honestly, the training will amount to 'Go relearn visual basic,' so I'm not expecting any huge challenge.

Glad to hear she's getting promoted too! Huzzah!

... So, why is the Ego loose again?

A Huzzah for you too!

You didn't see the edit I did on the first post of the night here.


The Ego is loose because Firefox keeps freezing up on me and it's incredibly frustrating, so I've been using Google Chrome. I've got the cookies saved to login with Ego on this browser, for convenience sake. *shrug* matters not to me which account I post from after all.


Yay for visual basic re-training :p (I tried to teach myself once... it didn't seem overly hard, but I decided not to finish. Didn't end up wanting to program in it)

Nope. Didn't see the edit.

STILL problems with FF? Beat.

It may not make a difference to you, good sir, but the rest of us? We remember the example of poor Spins, Law rest his soul.

VB's not hard, it's just not real useful, save specific instances. Least as I remember it.

Anyway, good night nerds. Off to kick Morpheus in the junk.
 
Thank for reposting micro. I have been away enjoying last breaths of summer last while. Out hiking and checking out the great wide open outdoors. But fall has definately arrived now .... meh.

yeah.. it was in the 30's this morning....
 
Fall, the harbinger of Father Winter, arrives and all life knows that its time is over. Green dies, birds flee, and heat becomes scarce. Only the hope of Winter's passing keeps any shred of hope alive.

This cleric welcomes winter each year, and is thankful for the entire lack of airborne allergies.
