Kinda funny. After all these years using this perl CGI script just using it as best as I could and not knowing anything about scripting, I finally tried modifying it so it will also work with .png images. And it worked.

I got an email from H Power Computing asking if I wanted to replace my motherboard or not on the M2800. Apparently they didn’t read my last message to them telling them go ahead as a go ahead. So since I had the chance, I rolled that decision back and told them never mind, just restore it to the Windows 7 OS running… Continue Reading “Done with old laptop’s upgrade effort”
H Power Computing also messaged me about my M2800 laptop having Win10 installed. It’s not installing. They believe the motherboard is bad. So they quoted ordering a replacement (used from overseas) at $378.00. WTF do I do, abandon the effort with money already sunk in for the Windows 10 upgrade and the… Continue Reading “Fixing this old laptop might get expensive!!”
It’s been over a week since I started trying to upgrade the old laptop (Dell M2800). I have been unusually patient, and it hasn’t aggravated me the way something like this normally would. It helps that it’s not the main computer, of course! But… I’ve given up trying on my own.… Continue Reading “Sought professional help (for laptop)!”
So it’s day 4 messing with this damned old laptop (3 years old so it’s not really old) trying to upgrade it to Windows 10. It keeps hanging at about 85%. I get the error:
0xC1900101-0x40021
I run this setupdiag.exe that I downloaded to see why it is stopping, and it can’t find any failure signatures.… Continue Reading “Is this a lesson in futility?”
So in attempting to use my old Dell M2800 laptop for the online meeting, I decided to go ahead and upgrade it to Windows 10. I’ve been trying to upgrade it all day and evening now. It keeps erroring out. I purchased the Win10 upgrade so I’m kinda committed or will just waste my money because it’s… Continue Reading “Old Dell laptop on ventilator”
Alas the junk computer peripherals I had to dig out of the closet in order to make my telework workstations more functional. I had to re-use an old keyboard for my PSA workstations laptop, and it was already worn. In the 4 months that I’ve been using iot, the keys wore out even more. I had to use labelmaker … Continue Reading “My Ghetto Keyboard”

Restless, need to keep tinkering, the Chinese aka Charlie Corn concept of always building… I dunno. But…

I saw this in an email titled Why You Must Avoid Nulled WordPress Themes & Plugins (9 Reasons). Now, I in my heyday did my share of downloading pirated stuff for use on my web page and other uses like music (remember Napster? Oh, I’m the old person here?) and software. Not so much anymore, for several… Continue Reading “Avoid “Nulled” WordPress Themes”
Not sure why I didn’t capture this before since I did it for the music collection. To update I had to google it all over again. So… future reference!
