iTunes Issues

June 9, 2010 |  by Nick  |  2 Comments  | 

That’s right, I am having some more problems with iTunes after reinstalling my operating system and installing the latest updated for iTunes and for some reason it grouped most of my music into Compilations in the artist column, see before you could go into the preferences and disable the Compilations thing, and that’s way I had always done in the past.

This time, it’s different, why you might ask?  Because there is no option to disable the freaking stupid dumb Compilations thing.  What did Apple forget to put this back when they were dissecting iTunes? Who even uses the Compilations thing?  Like I imported a bunch of CD’s to iTunes and basically all of them went into the Compilations.  I had to highlight them all and then go change yes from no on the option “part of a compilation?”  I just want to the old option back that wont show the complications under the artists.

Life Log 5/11/2010 Computer Setup

May 11, 2010 |  by Nick  |  No Comments  | 

For the last 6 months I been using quad screens, one of the monitors however, was connected to another system which is now having some issues (I got it back up but it’s moved into another room for now).  The other two were connected to my system which are a 22inch and a 17inch.  The only problem was that I truly didn’t use the other two monitors that much.  The other system I had setup was just basically for sharing some files and testing out some software and what not and that was rarely.  The second monitor on my system was just basically for my twitter client and maybe once in a while having two browsers but again that was very rarely.  

The other thing I forget to mention was that they were different size and since I have a Dell Ultrasharp 22inch which is height adjustable and having a 17inch next to it looked pretty odd so I had to lower my monitor down so it was kind of level with the 17inch and I like my monitors being at eye level.

Life Log 4/29/2010 – Tech Support at its Finest

Oh boy, what a day.

I woke up to my bladder like ready to explode and was pretty tired and been tired like all day.  I don’t think I got a really good night sleep and I think this weather has been putting a toll on everyone, I mean it’s spring, almost in May which is when the weather starts getting warmer like in the 70’s and up and that hasn’t been the case for the last few days.  Snowed for a couple days this week with like almost 10 inches where I live but today most of all of it has melted. 

Tomorrow will be a good change up, it’s going to be sunny and warm like around 70 degrees.  Which will be nice and get out of this stupid winter flashback. 

I haven’t felt the greatest today, just been feeling so washed out, I need to get game back on and start working out again, I hope to do this tomorrow.  I also hope to order my Fender amp and Mogami cable tomorrow as well, just hoping I have enough money because it’s going to be close, if I don’t have enough money I am just going to have to wait.

Time Warner`s Broadband Cap Plans Draw Lawmaker’s Ire

April 12, 2009 |  by Nick  |  No Comments  | 

Time Warner’s broadband cap plan may result in federal legislation aimed at unfair tiered price structures from Internet providers.pennypinching_broadband2
If Time Warner thought that its hastily revised broadband cap plan to include an unlimited usage tier would appease U.S. Rep. Eric Massa, the cable broadband provider was wrong. Massa, who represents a New York district  where Time Warner is planning to roll out its cap plan, said April 10 he is drafting legislation to prohibit unfair tiered price structures from Internet providers.

Massa responded sharply April 7 when Time Warner said it was introducing a tiered usage cap plan in a three-state trial pricing program.

Time Warner’s Chief Operating Officer Landel Hobbs released a statement on April 9 expressing regret for not adequately communicating to customers its plan to initiate consumption-based billing trials for its broadband Internet services.

The revised Time Warner plan added the unlimited usage plan to its previously announced idea of having 5GB, 10GB, 20GB and 40GB caps. Prices would range from $29.95 to $75.00 a month, and users would be charged an extra dollar for every additional gigabyte they download, up to a maximum of $75. An unlimited bandwidth plan, therefore, tops out at $150.

Top Ten Netbooks

April 11, 2009 |  by Nick  |  1 Comment  | 

A netbook is a class of laptop computer designed for wireless communication and access to the Internet. Netbooks typically run Windows XP or Linux operating systems rather than more resource-intensive operating systems like Windows Vista. According to Deloitte, as of the start of 2009, the established definition of a netbook was a notebook computer with a low-powered x86-compatible processor (compatible with PC standard software), small screen (no larger than 10 inches), small keyboard, equipped with wireless connectivity, lightweight (under three pounds) and no optical disk drive. Netbooks are typically low cost, relative to other notebooks.
