What the Heck is a CD modem? ? ?

Oh my goodness!!! Holy Crap! I'm not a tech support person but a lot of my friends look to me to solve all their computer problems. I get this one call from a friend, she says she can't get her computer to reconize the modem. She lives over 600 miles away so it's not like I'm going to walk over to her house to see what the hell she is doing. Anyways, I try and walk her through installing the drivers so she can connect to her online buddies. (Aw man! that's another story for another time.) I ask her did your modem some with a CD or floppy. She said "Yeah it came with a CD" I tell her to put the CD in her CD drive of her computer. She tells me my computer doesn't have a CD drive, but my modem does. I'm like WHAT??? no way a modem does not have a CD drive. I tell her that's not your modem that's your computer. And she's agruing that's it's her modem. So I ask her, what kind of computer is it. she tell me a Compaq, I tell her again. Compaq never made a computer with a modem CD drive. (no did any other manfacturer) Anyways the conversation goes on like this for about three hours. I finally tell her, that where ever she bought the computer from take it back and tell THEM to install the modem for her.

I have a great laugh about it today. but holy crap during those three hours I was a pain trying to explain how to install her modem.

Next Week I'm making her a website. Wish me luck.

To Hack or Not to Hack? ? ?

I'm sure everyone that is interested in computers likes to know something about them; they want to know something more about them then the average newbie. Or if you have a complete fear of computers to 'not even put their credit card' on the Internet (Ryan Stiles -- in TechTV interview) all you care is that they work and that's it. I am not a technophobe, I love computers I love them because they make my life easier. Althrough I don't know how my life could be any simplier than it is right now. Heheh. :)

I'm wouldn't say I'm the best hacker, but I do like to see how something works. Looking at source codes for html and javascript seeing how everything is put to together. I even dabble in some PC hardware mods, not that I'm any good at it, but I can put a PC together from scratch and that's more than most can do. :)

I suppose I could hack into a website if I wanted to; but I really don't want to. I much rather study how pages are created the different types of JavaScript. Maybe I'll get into Flash, who knows.

Uh oh I'm being hacked...
*computer freezes*
*fantically pushes reset button*
*waits for boot up*
hurry up
*runs Norton Anti-Virus*
"What!?!?! Expiration Virus pay $29.95!!!"
*watches virus format harddrive*
*reformats harddrive*
*reinstalls Win98*
*dials ISP and updated Internet Explorer again*
*finds IP address of the one that hacked me*
*runs IP through database*
*finds hacker address*
*gets in car with baseball bat*
*goes beats the living crap out of 10 year old kid who hacked me*
See ya in 10 to 15 .... :)

To Show or Not to Show. . .

Hey, it's Sunday and my page is still okay. Just proves that small pages don't matter. I heard about the big Hack-a-thon that was suppose to happen. Yeah, my page probably is easy to break into; but who would want to. It'll be like stealing $100 from Bill Gates is anyone going to really care? And is anyone really going to miss it. I know my site isn't that much, but I do like showing it off for friends. I'm weird that way.

I have decided to put my picture on my site, but I'm letting everyone figure out which one is me. I chose six pictures two obvious fake one that couldn't possibly be me, three pictures are of people that am related too, three pictures of people with glasses, three boys and three girls. I tried to mix them up so no one would see any pattern. Basically if you read my pages you would probably be able to figure it out. But many people know me from chat and I have to say. Those people are mostly wrong. but it's fun just to see how many people guess wrong. Plus I added a poll where they have to think of a few words about each person. I'm still confused by a few of the comments their, but it's fun still.

Microsoft Sucks!!! UNIX Rulz!!!!

Today in class. Well it hasn't actually started yet but seems interesting. I've been up since 4pm yesterday so I'm a little tired. I've been trying to get a buzz out of caffiene and sugar and I'm not for sure if it's working. I do apologize that I haven't written in so long. I did how ever manage to update my website today. At geocities.com/jtmax24.

I am awfully sleepy but hopefull I will be able to stay up enough to pay attention in class. One thing for sure at least it's not Microsoft damn I fell asleep in those classes like every other day. Oh I guess I forgot to mention I'm taking a UNIX class. it's so neat. learning about another OS, at least I think it's neat; even though I am weird. It sort have reminds me of JavaScript (yes I know JAVA orginally came from C and that came from UNIX so don't email me saying 'I'm an idiot') Well, I gotta be going. I'll try and write more often but no guarantee since I don't really write much in diaries, blogs, journals, or whatevers. I suppose I'm a Message Board and Chat person mainly.

Well, See Ya

New Year's Sucks

Hey it's 2:30am are you asleep yet? well, if you are like me you're a night owl. I don't know what it is I just am so used to being on the internet at night. I guess because not many people are up this last. I really haven't done much for the New Year. I don't even have a New Year's Resolution. What is the point of a new year's resolution anyways? all it is basically good for is to break. I stopped making them back in high school. I know having goals is a great thing to have and I am improving on actually keeping goals; but New Year's Resolutions??? what a joke??? nearly everyone I know has already broke their Resolution...

I actually wanted to say more, but I forgot what to say. So I'll try and come back tomorrow and finish okay.
