Level Of Difficulty at Work: .5 out of 10
Time During Lunch: Medium (Coulda gone long)
It's only once in a blue moon i get to run around the streets of frisco. With that i get a guy coming in saying that theres an accident up the busy intersection of where i'm at. Heading out, i'm thinking it's the usual one on one car deal, yanno, some glass shards, maybe some metal, i didn't hear anything mad from where i was. So i get there and a bunch of people are hovering over an old guy sitting on the ground. As i get closet i recognize the guy as Louis Katz, a friendly old defense lawyer, hes sitting up on the ground with a little bit of bleeding on his head, its not the gushing or even flowing, it pulses with the beat of the heart. Then i notice something that looked like someone dug a spoon on top of his head, which is where the blood is oozing from. I call for some ambulances and a few others, which the ambulance and fire came quite quickly, they are oh, 3 blocks down the hill. The lady who i thought hit Mr. Katz was there, as well as a few other people who witnessed it while sitting on the left turn lane.
So this is what i get from the stories. Mr. Katz (oh ya, he's 82 years old)was walking against the light to the middle island, alot of people do that, sometimes the road is completely barren. He makes it to the island and sees if he can go all the way, at that time a lady was driving into a green light and sees Mr. Katz crossing the street. She brakes but it's too late. He hits the side of her car and goes airborne and lands on his head. Man thats gotta hurt. He was in the ambulance for a while and they took their time heading to the hospital, so it wasn't a life or death emergency. Still though a divot on his head, ow!
So i get home and my goodies came to fix my computer. I ordered a PowerColor Radeon X1950 Pro on sale with rebates etc. And another SATA Hard drive. On the Video Card box says, Silent Cooling. Back in the days silent cooling meant passive cooling or fanless style stuff with heatsinks n crap like that.
This doesn't look fanless to me. But it's 'Arctic Cooling Tuned', and when starting up it is pretty quiet!
The thing is a frigging TANK, fitting the whole length of the motherboard! With barely any room for the Hard drive bay and wires. So i boot the computer up, nothing. ?!?! Ohh man, i decide to play around some more and i find that one of my Corsair Ram Sticks is whats preventing the computer from booting. So another warranty job for me. Man, so now my desktop works, but it's soo slow! 512mb of ram is horrible! hahaha.
Man thats a video card..
Now i've gotta clean my room, it totally looks like a bomb went off here.
Oh ya one last note, Imagestation by Sony is going to fade into the shadows (i.e. close up shop) so i decided to close my account with them. Time to update the side bar!
