Selling Old Stuff!

Alright, I’ve been talking about it for a while… I’m “upgrading” my VMware environment to these, which means I’m selling two decent PCs.

1st:
ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0
AMD fx 8320 eight core processor
16GB (2x8GB) RAM

2nd
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3
AMD FX 8120 eight core processor
16GB (2x8GB) RAM

If you are interested, let me know, as asking price depends on a few things, (whether or not you want it shipped, whether or not you want me to install a hard drive, graphics card, etc.

Intel NUCs

Dear Santa – We work hard all day sharing Brad’s nerdiness with the world, and we really could use 2 of these with 16g of RAM, word on the street is that they run VMware ESXi really well.
Thank you,
Bowser, KoopaTroopa, and Goomba

DDNS

If any of my nerd friends need DDNS, let me know… my server supports it… I can probably figure out a way to do it with your own domain too. Just let me know.

Nostalga

Thanks Mom for saving this wonderful nostalgia for me… This one’s for my nerd friends. The old ISA motherboard/amd processor were MY first computer that I didn’t share with my parents… the ABIT is the first one that I bought myself.[peg-image src=”http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rsSEapPD9JU/VZ7u6tA-O5I/AAAAAAAB3fM/WJQjWP4sFu0/s144-o/IMAG0062.jpg” href=”https://picasaweb.google.com/102474139899968458086/20151029?authkey=qdEYu2Xz3I8#6169631231827655570″ caption=”” type=”image” alt=”IMAG0062.jpg” image_size=”1520×2688″ ] [peg-image src=”http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-O35Nenr9uik/VZ7vRuN9JRI/AAAAAAAB3fk/Vg5iQ-NJBlY/s144-o/IMAG0063.jpg” href=”https://picasaweb.google.com/102474139899968458086/20151029?authkey=qdEYu2Xz3I8#6169631627287536914″ caption=”” type=”image” alt=”IMAG0063.jpg%

Comcast

Oh Comcast…

Let me tell you a story about how I wasted more than 10 hours of my life.

It all started on the Friday after Thanksgiving, when I was in Florida with my family.

My wife and I had recently leased a new town home just down the road, and we needed to schedule transferring our service from our old address to our new address.

When I called the representitive on Black Friday, she told me about some great deals they had going on, and I selected one of them which would be perfect for our new apartment (Mistake #1, changing plans while transfering service)
I set the transfer date to 12/21/2011, a few days after we were planning to get the keys for the new place. The representitive told me moving the date would be easy in the event I needed to do so, and we went about our business, never to speak again. (mistake #2, trusting the representitive) Continue reading “Comcast”
