Bad Geek Squad

August 5, 2010 |  by Nick  |  No Comments  | 

A while ago I had a customer come to me about fixing a laptop and fixed it and I even brought down to her house.  When I was there she asked me if I could take a look at her desktop, So I said sure.  She told me she been paying for internet and haven’t been able to use it. There was that yellow annoying triangle on the network connectivity icon in the tray area, so I said ok, lets check the TCP/IP settings and it was all set to auto, nothing was changed, it all seemed normal.  I asked her where the cable and modem was, she showed me.

Now, before I continue I wanted to say that Geek Squad had set up their network and it didn’t even worked and charged them roughly around 150 dollars according to their invoice.   I was like wow, and they didn’t even get it to work and charged them anyways. I was kind of upset that Geek Squad would do that and I don’t support Geek Squad.

Updated Setup

July 23, 2010 |  by Nick  |  No Comments  | 

So after living with a single monitor I decided to go back to my three monitor setup, because when I degraded down to only one monitor I lost of a time, when I had a three monitor setup I could get much more done a hell of a lot faster then I did with the single monitor.  When your a geek of many things it’s almost a necessity to have multi-monitors.  It really can improve your work flow and when your a photographer, a blogger even do some graphic/web designing it really does help to have multiple screens, just saying.

However, This current set up you see is only temporary until I get a second 22inch monitor and then i’m going to upgrade my speakers as well.  Not sure when this will happen, but hopefully soon.

Updated Setup (again)
