hey guys and girls, new guy on the block here, names troy, juzza decided he wanted another nerd in the troops, so… here i am, i’ll probably post up a lot of computer and electronics crap, but i’ll certainly make sure its worth a laugh or two. and i’ll try and throw in some random stuff while im at it.

anyway, enough of me, heres my first post (juzza decided to tell me to introduce myself just as i was nearing completion of this post, so hey, kill 2 birds with one stone as they say, i reckon that’d be a damn lucky shot to pull off)

Your favourite morning frying pan on the fritz? Got a few of those old useless pentium I processors lying around in a drawer somewhere?

Well, never fear, try this on for size, a cyrix hotplate, stick a few old cyrix or ibm(now known as “International Boiling Machine”) to a piece of thin steel sheet, hook up some zap zap and start frying!!

Cyrix hotplate

and another one for good measure

Here’s an interesting error message which appears in the Microsoft Knowledge base.

Error Message: Your Password Must Be at Least 18770 Characters and Cannot Repeat Any of Your Previous 30689 Passwords

Umm OK. It gets better though!

Note that the number of required characters changes from 17,145 to 18,770 with the installation of SP1.

Damn it, I just came up with a good one that was 17,200. Knew I shouldn’t have installed SP1! I’m going to run out of post-it notes now. (tip: be sure to tick the box that says “Remember Password” ^_^)

I found this in a magazine and had to share - definately something I think is worthwhile and a good idea.. but we could just paint any keyboard black ourselves. The idea is that if you can’t see the keys you won’t need to look at it and you’ll develop better typing skills.
