Updates of Blogs & Systems

Concerning updates to the blog I may not do them everyday as I have been. I was doing the blog updates everyday because I wanted to see how the software was reacting.
I will also be updating my systems especially my main system that I use everyday. I will also increase the storage on my music server and move another disk over to my backup music server and take a disk from that system to add to storage on my main system.
I have not upgraded my main system in a long time. Besides updating the storage I will also be updating my All-In-Wonder 7200 AGP 32mb. I will move to the All-In-Wonder 9800 Pro AGP 128mb. I will also update motherboard and CPU but have not decided to what. Along with this I will be placing this system back in a larger case as I had before to adequately hold my 6 sca SCSI hard drives, Plextor SCSI CDROM, Plextor CDRW, DVD reader, DVDRW, Adaptec 29160, NCR SCSI, Creative Labs Audigy, and 100bt LAN. I will keep the DLT, scanner and printer external, of course.
I really need to do this since I need the speed to finish projects faster and need the storage for the same reason. The current case for my main system is smaller than I had before and I never intended to stick with it this long. The air flow because of the amount of hard drives I have is not sufficient. Currently I have my case open which has been the case with me for over a decade and a house fan blowing into the case to keep the temps down. With this new case I will be able to place several large computer fans directly into the problem areas inside of the case. I will also cut down on hard drives by getting a few larger sized hard drives. Since I always go for performance with near the latest SCSI hard drive technology this will be a cost.
Anyway I need to do this so I will not have this in the back of my mind and I can work my other projects without tip-toeing around my systems.
I always go for piece of mind first as that frees you to tackle other issues. I have quite a few and am about to start swinging at them like Barry Bonds selectively but efficiently.

12k Chevy’s Run

I ran in the 12k Chevy’s fun run today. I will try to get some pics from there on the site later. I had a decent run considering I had not been to steady with my workouts the past month and a half.

Chevy’s Fun Run Tomorrow

Tomorrow morning I’m going to run in the Chevy’s fun run. I will not do as well as I wanted since I had to cut my runs short and didn’t get enough in last month or this month. Oh well it’s the beginning of the fun run season where 10k’s & 5k’s are plentiful.
This year they have a new course for the 12k which I will be running. You can check the Chevy’s course and other items on these sites:

Pumping Weights As Public Enemy “..Bum Rush Show”

Pumping weights and listening to Public Enemy’s first album “Yo Bum Rush The Show”!! Finally digitized!
I used to hit the cruise with this bumpin’ in my ’69 Impala and later my Jeep along with my other metallic tapes full of what’s now considered pioneering hip-hop, not just “Old School” baby!! This was of course, just a little before CD’s. You could hear me 6 blocks away back in the day anyway back to the garage to pump my weights!!

Undefeated For Fantasy Football Start. Rams Win!

In my three Fantasy Football leagues I am 3-0-1, yes one untimely pass to a receiver Monday night tied me up in one league. Well at least he didn’t get a bit more yardage and beat me. Well better look tomorrow to see if there are any stat corrections.
In three leagues it came down to the Monday night game!! In one league I was way out in front and my opponent didn’t have any more players Monday night.
In the league where I’m the commissioner I had to have Ahman Green have a big night and Carolina not to kick any field goals for my opponent, and this all happened!
The fact that Carolina fell behind and had to abandon the run helped in another League I was hanging on in. My opponent had Stephen Davis the Carolina running back and had to throw the ball, plus Green Bay stacked the line and blitzed like crazy!
Now my favorite NFL team the Rams played well but made too many mistakes and barely beat the Cardinals. The Rams turnovers made the Cardinals look good even though the Rams ran up and down the field all day!

LET’S GO RAMS!!!!
