Here’s another one I just started:
I’ve intergrated Delicious, Digg, Faves, GoogleReader, StumbleUpon and Twitter into this account. I’m new to this one, so I don’t have much of an opinion on it yet, other than the fact that I like all the different sites you can integrate with.
Just signed up for Twitter yesterday. If you’re interested in following or seeing what I’m up to here’s the link:
Something that I’ve been having trouble with recently is I’m running out of room on my hard drives. Storage didn’t use to be such a problem. However, my addiction to bit torrents have gotten me into storage trouble.
I find myself saving larger video files and it’s constantly eating up my free space. So I have to make some decisions on what to keep and what to delete. You would think that 750gb would be enough for me. But no… I’m deleting files and cleaning up my drives almost on a weekly basis. And of course, fragmenting those drives at the same time.
Here are some of the things I’m doing to keep/consolidate/delete my data:
1. The Big Purge. I hate to do it. I agonize over what I must through out. But in the end, I’m deleting lots of content.
2. Data Shuffle. Here’s where I have to move those larger files I MUST keep to new drives, partitions or other computers. I hate doing this. Normally I’m very organized. Raid Arrays broken out into partitions that are designated for data types. Space constraints force me to mix my files, and it drives me crazy!
3. Forced Defrag. All this data movement constantly fragments my drives forcing me to defrag on a weekly basis.
I know the solution here. It’s time to migrate all my data to a NAS drive, but I’m just too cheap to do it. I’ll be on the lookout for an inexpensive 1TB solution with a simple setup. Hopefully something will catch my eye soon.
A customer emailed me last night asking about the Acer Aspire 5610z notebook. Our website shows memory upgrades available for this computer up to 4gb installed as 2×2gb. My customer asked if this was actually possible as she had seen several forums of people discussing an issue with the 5610z and installing 2×2gb modules. People are having POST freezes or errors with 4gb installed, however they are having successful POSTs with 1×2gb installed. Hmmm. This looks like a BIOS issue to me. the 2gb parts will work individually, but together,the BIOS is having trouble. I’m hoping that Acer will release a BIOS update that will resolve this conflict so that this machine can actually operate with 4gb installed as the manual states! Here’s a link to the memory upgrades for the Acer Aspire 5610z Notebook at our store.
And a link to one of the forum threads discussing the issue
I’ve spent some time making some lenses on Squidoo for our products. This is basically just a way to get the word out on other markets about our computer memory products. After making a new of these lenses, I found that there was no good Lens Group to add them to, so I had to start my own group (sigh). So now I find myself the manager of a Lens group. If you have a lens that you’d like to add to this group, you can find it at:
Squidoo: Computer Parts Place
And here’s a list of the Lenses that I’ve created so far. More will be posted as I create them:
