AGAIN AND AGAIN...
... and again...
... and again.
Though it's been a monthlong of parent-play, money laundering and human breeding [which gained me 4 kilos and lost the 4-pack i made with the Hiphop Abs move i leeched from TV], i'm currently feeling sad right now. My mom, sis and the two kids are going back to Abu Dhabi and i guess they'll be arriving there at 2AM [ET]. I do wish them a safe and sound trip and i'm gonna miss them again, especially my first nephew Harvey [including the AdHoc multiplay we had on PSP].
But i guess it won't be too far, since we can talk anytime now that we have DSL at home. I remember saying that Bayantel DSL sucked. I admit that i'm "partially" wrong and i'll take back some misconclusions i've made. Yeah, it still sucks because of the fact that the ADSL splitter is quite useless, the connection gets interrupted most of the time when making calls. But the good part is that their "Speed on Demand" feature [10PM-10AM] really is helpful. My connection goes up to 1200+kbps [which makes my DL speeds at barely 70-130+kB/s], i just have to pick the right IP to connect to. Ordinary speeds are also fine, jumping from about 400-780kbps [DL speeds at 25-70+kB/s], also depending on which IP i connect. Bad thing is that the first few days didn't quite satisfy the main reason the DSL was put on [my sister's... streaming was choppy and connection was so freakin' lossy... that's why i said it sucked]. Right now, it's at it's best... and i'm going to abuse the speed by downloading DS/PSP games, movies and some series [i'm hunting 'The Dead Zone'] and some other stuff... but no online games, and again... definitely NO PORN! =]
Though frequent bluescreens [with random causes and 0x00 codes] and restarting "restarts" really is starting to piss me off. o.O
I've replaced the RAM, put on a new AGP card, bought a soundcard and an ethernet... and still this [though it boots now unlike before when after Verifying DMI pool data gets you to a BSOD]. One of the remaining options i have is to buy a SATA [my board supports that HD] or get a clean installer of XP and repair the installation [could be my installer's wasted]. Or if it still doesn't work, then i'd be forced to buy a new mainboard... which i hope not because that means i'll be needing to buy new parts, again [AGP slots are obsolete, as per PCeXpress said]. If that's the case then i'll be waiting for another AbuDhabi-made system--- and hope it's not a Vista. =] Right now, i should just hang on [again] with what i have until i know if things could be fixed.
So much for that. I'll be doing a new theme now that the PC's barely working. I'll be able to manage. For how long? No one knows until it's obvious, right? ^^ Just wait if the time ever comes.
* At this point, i should be saying "Welcome Back to AbuDhabi" to them. =]
And that was four [4] "again"'s to comply with the title and the intro. Ok, this makes it 5. Stupid me. =]
