Random Thoughts 9

Tony Montana: What you lookin' at? You all a bunch of fuckin' assholes. You know why? You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be? You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.

So say good night to the bad guy!

 

Do you ever have one of those "dumbass" moments?

Like a few months ago, I was messing around with the cold air intake on my car, and when I finished up and closed the hood, I attempted to start the car and nothing happened. I thought "Oh shit, I completely fucked up my car" After 5 minutes of panicking, I pop the hood and see if I can do anything or if I need to call a towtruck. After opeing the hood, I realize I forgot to reconnect the battery. I reconnected it, and the car was fine.

And just a few minutes ago, I was installing a new TV tuner card in my DVR PC. I put the case back on, hook everything up, and hit the power button. And.....nothing. Again, I panic, thinking I might've fucked something up since I'm working on carpet and didn't ground myself with one of those bracelets that prevent static electricity. I've never used one in the 7 years I've been messing with computers and never have fried anything. I thought maybe my overconfidence came back to bite me in the ass. So, I go to take off the case again, and the first thing I do whenever I open a computer is disconnect the power cable...so I go to do that, but wait, the power cable isn't plugged in. Oops. Plugged it in, everything works fine.

Just another one of those "dumbass" moments I assume....but now here's where the real troubleshooting begins...installing drivers in Windows

 

Ha ha, I know what you're talking about.

It happens.
