Oh goodie, my headaches are back! + Lappy ram is in and working as it should.

Seems like every year about this time I get this horrible, agonizing headaches and while I don't remember getting them last year (which isn't really saying anything given my memory, or lack thereof), I'm definately getting them this year. I used to think they were just "Cluster headaches", which my aunt and I found in one of her medical books, but more recently its been suggested that they are sinus related. That seems strange to me because I'm not 'clogged up' or anything and in fact am breathing just fine. Mrs. Beavis tells me that that doesn't matter though and that being able to breathe and a sinus headache are practically unrelated. The worst part is that once I feel one coming on, by the time I get a pill in me and get any relief an hour or more of pure agony has gone by. (I think I realized that they were back around Monday of this week and am blogging this so that this year I can keep an actual record of this stuff.) Maybe some day the Dr.'s can give me something that will work faster or something.

I went yesterday evening and exchanged the ram without incident. Put the new chip into the laptop by itself and it came up as 512, as it was supposed to. Put back my original and now have 768 MB of ram. YAY! Now if I can just fix the "Can start debugging on the web server" issue I'll be all set.

Got the lappy! (Too bad my new ram is 1/2 what its supposed to be!)

So, I got my laptop on Tuesday, one day head of schedule (shocking given my luck lately) and I had gotten only 256meg of ram because one of my co-workers (Chris L. - Hey Chris!) said that it would be cheaper to get more memory on my own. So, yesterday afternoon I went to Fry's Electronics to by a 512meg SO-DIMM to put into the laptop. I get home and put in the new chip but the laptop keeps telling me I only have 512meg of ram. Needless to say I was pretty confused. I call dell support and they suggest taking the OEM ram out and putting in the chip I bought to see what it comes up as. 256meg. *SIGH* So, I have to drive back to my local fry's, which is like 20 minutes from where I'm living and hope they don't try to give me crap about the fact that they sold me a 256 meg chip in 512 meg clothing. Oy.

In other news... well, better not talk about work. Again, that could get me in trouble. I will say that I still completely LOVE C# (a programming language with features from C, C++ and Java).

Dude, I'm getting a dell!!

Oh yeah, forgot to mention.. I ordered me up a "inspiron 9300" 1.6 GHz / 533MHz FSB, 256meg of ram (going to get more on my own), 60gig HD and XP Pro. They shipped today so I should have it anywhere from Wed. to Friday.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY!!!

Oh yeah, I have a blog!

*hmm hmm heh* Wow, been a while since I blogged. Almost forgot I had this thing. Course, I don't think too many people are actually reading this so... no biggie I guess. I'd really like to start blogging more often, but then some of the stuff I want to say probably shouldn't be broadcast to the internet. Hummm.
