Capture

I have lost count of the number of times dinner has been interrupted in our house by a phone call from a telemarketer or how many times I have had to stop what I am doing to answer a telemarketing phone call and it really really annoys me no end.  If I want to buy something or need a service I will get online and find it and call them myself.  I really find it offensive and very rude that telemarketers can call me at their whim and try and sell me …

intel_DX2_66

The past 10 days or so has seen my main workstation plagued with mysterious shutdowns often when I was in the middle of something important and usually when I was moving files around or if I had a large number of programs open at the same time.  She would just switch off as if the power switch had been flicked off, perplexing to be sure.
As I am sure most good engineers and out there are probably thinking its a heat issue, somethings getting too hot, probably the CPU and everything …
