Computer Woes
My Dell Inspiron 1150 laptop is acting up on me. It only boots up once out of fifty tries and it seems to be locking up on boot, sometimes in post but most of the time when it’s loading the OS. It started this after some battery problems too, at least the battery light was blinking orange at me. Ugh.
It really makes me want the “computer” aspect of the PS3 to really work out. I really only use my home computer for Internet, Digital Photos, and Digital Music. All of which should be supported on the Sony Playstation 3.
Just before I got this laptop I built a Small Form Factor (SFF) Shuttle computer. I had toyed with the idea of making a Home Theatre Personal Computer (HTPC) with it but in the end didn’t because I didn’t have a good HDTV for it yet. I see the Playstation 3 basically doing that job for me and I really can’t wait for it. If it doesn’t work out, oh well, I’ll look into something else once the time comes. But in the meantime my computer usage may be rather spotty.

My shit-ass Compaq is over five years old now. It was shitty when I got it in August 2001, and now it’s beyond reproach. I can’t even believe I’m still using it. Grrrr.
