Let the summer begin…

My favorite time of the year has started……summer. The temp goes up and the leaves come out on the trees and the days are longer. And no snow to shovel…..

This weekend we had a nice cookout with a good bunch of friends and the conversation was great. I would like thank those that came for coming. I think this year we are going to do a few more cookouts and use the backyard a lot more then in previous years…..

I agree with this….

Before I started on the road of computer IT, I was a radio Dee-Jay at a small town radio station. We were able to program our own music and I enjoyed it. Most of the stations back then were locally owned and were part of there communities. But in the last few years most of the stations in the big to medium markets have been bought up by big companies and are being programed from a central local and being automated. The music industry has also changed the way artists and radio stations work together. I found this article this morning about this so here is a copy of it to read…

To wait is not good….

Last Sunday I saw a sweet ‘65 VW Microbus on my way back from Flemington. I went back on Friday to take a look at it. The body was in perfect shape…no body rust, the pan was rust free. The interior need a new head liner and the dash needed some work around the radio but other then that it looked good. I was unable to look a the engine because I didn’t have the key to open the hatch but I crawled under it and it looked good. It was leaking a little oil but what VW air cooled engine doesn’t. The guy wanted $8000 for it so I had to sleep on it…. Well I waited for today to call him.. I left a message and he got back to me and told me I was a day late…..he had sold it yesterday…..

The search goes on….I am looking for a 65-67 VW Microbus that has little to know rust on it and runs… I want to use it as a daily driver for the summer months……

If I have this much Hard Drive Space

I found this article this morning with the recommendation from Microsoft on what the “Average” Longhorn PC spec should be.

Microsoft is expected to recommend that the “average” Longhorn PC feature a dual-core CPU running at 4 to 6GHz; a minimum of 2 gigs of RAM; up to a terabyte of storage; a 1 Gbit, built-in, Ethernet-wired port and an 802.11g wireless link; and a graphics processor that runs three times faster than those on the market today.

If I have a terabyte of HD space in my machine I better be single and not have to leave the house. I know that back when I got my first PC it had 10meg drive and I thought that was allot. Now I have 250 Gig, but a terabyte of space in a normal PC that is really to much to fathom……
