New Machine Design Again

Well I have my taxes to do and no machine to do them on so it’s time to build my machine.

Here are the specs:
Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe
AMD ATHLON 2800+ XP 512KB PROCESSOR - AXDA2800BOX.
2 512Meg Dual-Channel DDR 400 Dimms
2 Model: 6Y120M0 120GB Serial ATA SATA-150 8MB Cache 7200 RPM.
Pine PV T36KUA GeForce FX 5700 AGP 8x - 256 MB
ENERMAX SERVER CASE, W/300 WATT PS, BEIGE

I wanted to go AMD 64 but the prices are still to high. But I figured in a year or two I will up grade to one.

Now if I can just get the office done to put the machine.

Office move, Server Crash and life

I am alive and kicking. Just been real busy getting the serve back up and running. I am about 99% done with it. I still have to finish the Lavingaonline.com site. I lost the database for that one so I have decided to move it from postnuke to Movable type. No one was using any of the features except the photo gallery and back issues of the family news paper. So I moved them over and will be getting the site up either today or tomorrow.

In between all this I had to get the Harrisburg office moved into a bigger facility. I spent all day Sunday and most of the day Monday getting it done. They have everything but a connection to the Internet. I had to order a T-1 because verizon lied to the local carrier out there and then told them the day before the move that they couldn’t provide DSL because the switch wasn’t provisioned for it.

Other then that all things are going well. Once the Harrisburg thing is done I will be moving onto the XP roll out for the company and then the Server 2003 roll out after that.

Carolyn and I have also started the South Beach Diet. I am in need of losing at least 40 Lbs. I studied a bunch of the current diets. The South Beach one to me looks like the best one because it gets you eating right and doesn’t make you count calories or anything. Just really stay off the starchy foods and limit your sugar intake. We are currently in the middle of phase 1 and I am feeling a whole lot better. I have stopped drinking coke-colla for awhile so I hope that I can lose my 40 lbs.
