Upgrading and Repairing PCs 16th Edition by Que

by Administrator on December 16, 2005 in Computers with 3 Comments

I just purchased the 16th edition of Upgrading and Repairing PCs, last night at Barnes and Nobles. I picked one of these books up at a discount book store 4 years ago or so and loved it, but wanted a more updated version. I believe the version I bought was like the 12 Edition or something similar. They are very expensive books at $60, but very valuable if you plan on building or repairing PCs any time soon. The older versions will work just fine but they may not have the more recent technology noted in them. In the back of the book is a DVD with some videos and Electronic versions of the older editions. I figured the DVD would have the latest and greatest but unfortunately it does not. Que probably feels it would decrease the demand for the book if it was available electronically. Anyway I would like to post the 15th Edition of Upgrading and Repairing PCs in electronic format. It’s available via the website, but only if you have the “Secret” code to get in. The secret code is only availabe on the DVD that is included with the 16th Edition.

Let me know if this link does not work and I will just host the file. I have older editions as well if anyone wants/needs them. Enjoy!

Atari Games

by Administrator on December 9, 2005 in Gaming with 2 Comments

I, like many other people, like to play video games. I especiallly like playing obsolete and vintage video games. I went through a phase where I collected old roms from nintendo and super nintendo games. I started on N64 but the roms ended up being extremely large and take up a lot of disk space. I recently found a place where I could download some Atari 2600 roms and also a emulator. It’s called Atari Age Here you can download roms individually or in bulk. Or you can download the roms from here. *Note the Emulators are for Mac OS you will have to downlaod a Windows version if you have Windows.

Four Wheel Drive

by Administrator on December 4, 2005 in Daily Rant with 1 Comment

I would like to start with me saying this….Although four wheel drive can give people a sense of security. Four wheel drive does not make the vehicle unstopable especially when it comes to ground clearance and a inebriated driver. So the story goes like this….

Aqua’ Lectric Heat

by Administrator on December 2, 2005 in Home with 1 Comment

As many of you already know, I purchased a home at the end of June this year. I’m not sure if this is a good thing yet or not, but the home has aqua electric baseboard heat. Not only is it electric heat, but it’s Aqua Electric Heat. With the rise of gas prices this past year I am almost glad it’s electric heat. And it’s also nice to just pay one electric bill rather than pay an electric and gas bill.
Anyway I just received a $140 electric bill this month and I was used to having $50 bills. This is due to a fault in the thermostat not kicking off the heat in the living room. Instead the thermostat will be off but the heat will stay on for 3 days straight and then finally kick off. Well I felt that I should take a look at it tonight unless I want a 2 or 3 hundred dollar bill next month. I opened up the cover on the baseboard in the living room and started prodding around with my voltage meter. Unfortunately the device that powers both of the 220 volt baseboards in the living room is in the basement somewhere in the ceiling. So that means I get to fix something else this weekend along with trying to finish three school projects I have to get done by the end of next week. On top of that I’m not even sure what I’m looking for to fix the problem. I thought about hooking a switch up to power the baseboards on and off, but after pondering that I felt I should fix right the first time. I have tried to look up some information on this brand of baseboard heat and found listing for a business called Aqua’ Lectric in Florida on a Tax Collector list for last year.

AQUA’LECTRIC INC
NOSKA GLENN A
1972 BONNEVILLE DR
ORLANDO FL 32826

Who knows if it’s the same company or not. The address does not match the label that is inside the cover on the baseboards, so I highly doubt it’s the same company.

Wireless Frequency Search

by Administrator on December 1, 2005 in Ham Radio with No comments

Say you are at your local Wendy’s and you would like to know what frequency they run the local drive thru on. Well you could sit in Wendy’s parking lot for hours and scan the whole wireless spectrum hoping to hear something. Or you could search the FCC database since the frequencies are available to the public, as long as the place of business or person registers them. These are the links to search for wireless licensees.
