I'm so angry. What is it about my siblings that everything they touch will get broken at some point? I don't really mind them using my things as long as they look after them like I do which never has been the case.
I came home on Friday, exhausted but eager to start with my old mag scanning project this weekend. Press the ON button of my PC and ...blank...nothing. No response whatsoever. It was like the touch button didn't touch the power on source at the back. Like pressing a button on an empty PC casing. What the hell was going on? It was fine that morning as I was able to transfer some files to bring to work and did my surfing and emailing the night before.
Got mybrothers to have a look and even called the little bro in the capital city. It seems like there's nothing else we can do except get help from our computer tech uncle who was not home at this time.
So, till the PC gets fixed,I have to resort to my tiny netbook which is decent enough for doing my Gmail, blogging, YouTube and normal surfing. This little machine was designed for those anyway.
However, when to comes to my other computer passion which is photo editing and graphic art, this machine is a miserable little useless gadget.
Here's why:
1. The screen size means the picture to be worked on is Lilliput size.
2. The processor of Intel Atom 1.66 Mhz and RAM1Gb on Windows 7 Starter aren't enough for a good computer art job.
3. I can't use GIMP on this netbook. It takes forever to load with 1Gb RAM. I upgraded to 2Gb RAM and mana after waiting it to load forwhat feels like 5minutes. Even after I managed to open GIMP, I have to resize the Toolbox sizes and during retouching and saving, the Toolbox went blank!
I miss my Samsung 743NX monitor and the more powerful computing that a PC can offer.
Look at the wiring just to have a decent PC experience. Those are the power source wire, the Ethernet to modem connection, the notebook cooling fan and the speakers.
On the other side are the 4-port USB extender with the wireless mouse dongle on it. The other one is my printer/scanner.
Just for the record, that's a video shot of LA Guns guitarist Stacey Blades playing the Ballad of Jayne.
Here's the video, btw. I'm not a fan much really but somehow I like watching them :-)
LA Guns acoustic version of the Ballad of Jayne with guitarist Stacey Blades.
