Checking In/Checking Out Version 1.0

[KevinD]

Sitting at a hole in the wall burger joint near Gardendale, TX. Awesome burgers here, the old time kind where the grease runs down your hands while you are eating it. Yum!

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Those are the best

[KevinD]

Those are the best
Yep, and the elderly lady that runs the joint remembered me from last time I was there (last year sometime) and doubled up on the fries. Real fries too, not frozen. I'm stuffed. :lol:
Waiting on a call back right now, may have to go pick up a 50hp electric motor to take to a rig near Pecos, Tx (about 2hrs from here) That'll be an easy 5 extra hours on timesheet today.

[Pony]

Heading out for the night. My brain is trying to escape from my skull.

[KevinD]

Laters Pony. I'm going to scrounge something to eat. Too lazy to go out to get something. Then watch a movie or something until I fall asleep.

[RBP]

How are you, Lance? I am still tired, but better today than yesterday.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I'm tired too, and just under a lot of stress at work because of various reasons. But hey, it could be worse.

How did it go at work? Are you still going to be working under that bitch?

[RBP]

I went off during the first conversation then got a call from her boss. I am still going to work for her, but he's going to talk to her. I made it clear I would no longer tolerate being treated that way and didn't care of they had to fire me or I had to quit but I was done putting up with it.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Well, at least you got the ball rolling by stating your case to her boss. Hopefully that will help. And if she even appears to be getting ready to cross the line again, I would go over her head once again.

[RBP]

Oh I will, he told me to do it. And both VPs I spoke with assured me that my performance was fine, my customers were very pleased with the service they receive, and they want me to stay.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

That's awesome dude...and who knows, if she keeps it up, maybe as an added bonus you can get her ass terminated :thumbsup:

I feel refreshed today......... amazing what a night away from the PC can do :lol: Shitty day at work yesterday, every bastard was getting on my nerves! So, came home, had dinner, grabbed a shower then laid on my bed watching tv before crashing out. Never even switched the PC on :shock:

Thanks. I doubt she'll get fired and I don't want her to lose her job. But she needs to learn to be human. It's a growth capacity issue also. Not mine to say but I think they are at their limits administratively while still growing. They need to fix that.

Was playing around with my Samsung SSD last night - stuck it in the dock and did a checkdisk on it (found and fixed bad sectors), got the correct samsung/seagate software and tested the shit out of it - passed with flying colours :-k So, formatted it then used software called Macrium Reflect to clone the contents of this drive over to the SSD. Everything seemed to go ok so i'll swap them over tonight and see if it works! Just can't get used to hearing this mechanical drive making noise :lol:

I wish I could have gotten the SSD to work in my laptop, it was a complete failure.

[Goofy]

Why, what happened? :-k

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I first tried cloning the drive from the HDD and that didn't work at all, the OS wouldn't load right. So then I formatted it and installed Win7 fresh on it, and it ran slower than the HDD. The drive activity light was on almost constantly and caused everything to lag.

[Goofy]

Strange :-k Is that the one you run in your desktop now? Maybe a bios setting that needs changed for laptops........ i dunno, never owner a laptop tbh.


Gonna have to go for now, catch you later mate :bye:

I didnt have a problem last time I did an ssd in a laptop, im going to do it again this weekend. Hopefully I wont run into the same issue...

[Hal-9000]

Hello...I just got back from the dentist. I think they're going to have to break an existing gold crown off of my tooth, replace it and probably do a root canal too...oh fucking yay. Thousands of dollars and it may not stop the pain. My guy isn't back until Tuesday so I get to spend the weekend with my fingers crossed and hope the already shitty can't close my mouth pain doesn't get worse. Fuck me with a stick

[Teh One Who Knocks]

That sucks Hal :(

I guess it could be worse though, you could be that Chinese guy that has a piece of rebar through his face. :-k

[Hal-9000]

that's what I've felt like for the past month tbh....I'm supposed to ignore severe pain messages unless the tooth is actually compromised because neuralgia can refer a lot of pain into your teeth/gums


now they say I've probably fractured the tooth under the gold crown.....yay yay yay

[KevinD]

Damn. Just get them all yanked out Hal. Dentures have come a long way.

[Hal-9000]

Naw I went that route a few years ago with a couple of them and getting 35 yr old healthy molars yanked are shitty extractions

Is Samsung still the top reated SSD? I decided instead of putting my old sandisk in the new laptop I'm just gonna fork out another 100 bucks and get a new one. The Sandisk is SATA ll (3GB/sec) and the new ones are SATA lll (6GB/sec).

The Sandisk is fine and fast but with the specs on this laptop I wanna make the best use of the processing power.

DGX was right, a 5400 speed disk is shit for an OS drive, the new laptop with a Quad Core I7 isn't any faster than the old Dual Core I3 I just sold.

[Hal-9000]

I think my drive is 5400 rpm or 7200....it's the only thing that kills my Windows Experience or whatever the hell it's called...everything else gets 7.4 etc..


and the way I stopped the seek and write noises? 1080p version of Ace of Spades and some headphones :lol:

Currently fighting with my SSD, for some reason the computer isn't seeing the USB recovery drive on boot.

With Windows 8 they increased the experience index from a max of 7.9 to 9.9.

My new laptop had 7.9's for processor and memory, a 6.? for graphics and a 5.4? for hard drive. I don't remember the exact numbers because the update to windows 8.1 got rid of the whole performance test. Bummer, I liked it.

I'm not sure how they calculate....look at mine. 7.9 is the top score...

I have an older Sandy Bridge i5 processor that rates quite high

I have 8 gigs of Kingston 'green' ghetto ram. (literally called value ram :lol:) Certainly not the most or the best but always gets 'my' top marks for timings..

I have an old video card GTX 460...I'm sure there's at least 10 graduations better since that card was made...

and my hard disk drags the whole shootin match down...



http://i.imgur.com/gbmtZlq.jpg




So your 6 on graphics out of 9.9 is a hard score....maybe since WIN8 is newer, they've upped the specs for what they think are 'good graphics'?

[Hal-9000]

I do know however...that out of what was available for the time and my budget limitations, that I chose well and wisely to get a pretty good system together (this from dudes at store where I bought)

:oops:

[Pony]

Yea, they upped the specs to reflect the advances in hardware.

Well I just wasted 3 hours I didn't need to. created a recovery USB and tried to use it on the new SSD= "no boot device detected"
Created recovery DVDs thinking it might be a boot from USB issue no boot device detected

Finally broke down and downloaded the Toshiba SSD migration software, put both drives in the laptop, fired it up and 15 minutes later all is good as new.

Now I have to decide if I want to reset it back to factory specs and start over fresh erasing the 3 hours I invested messing with every setting available....

[Hal-9000]

put both drives in the laptop and used migration software?


I would be stopped at putting both drives in the laptop :lol:



well done

[Hal-9000]

I want to do a simple thing.....I have one hard drive, not SSD.

I want to put an SSD as the main drive, install Windows and programs on to it and use my existing drive for storage



why do I sense it will become a shitshow and not worth the time and $ ??? :lol:

That's a big reason why I bought this one, 2 drive bays, two empty memory slots, backlit keyboard and a 4 core I7

Yea, thats a feature thats usually reserved for the $1400 gaming laptops, I often have my laptop on a box on my lap while watching tv in a dark room, backlit keyboard is a huge perk.

And holy shit, just rebooted for the first time and was back in about 8 seconds from full shutdown. And the SSD will get faster after a few more reboots. :faint:

$100 and this laptop just went from a low budget to priceless speed wise!

[Hal-9000]

Love seeing a difference after an upgrade :thumbsup:


do SSD's still have that drawback where they don't rewrite over files or get rid of old files?

they run like snot for the first year and then start getting full? Can't recall the term but it did happen to all of them over time...

[Pony]

Yessum...old school is the only way I roll baby







http://i.imgur.com/3DDmjwA.jpg

I'll tell you what, I've tried a ton of file migration and cloning programs, this was the fastest most automated and easiest thing I've ever done. It auto detected the HDD and SSD and 3 clicks and 15 minutes later it was an exact clone, partitions and all!

I would highly recommend the Toshiba SSDs now, they get highest marks in read AND write with over 500gb/sec both (many others had much slower write times) and with the software you could do it on your lunch break and still have time to eat.

My old laptop and my 1 year old desktop SSDs do not seem to be filling up at all. both still were damn fast. In the old laptop when I took the SSD out and went back to the 5400 HDD it seemed like I had gone from 8 gigs of ram down to 1 gig. No kidding Hal, it REALLY is the #1 upgrade you could do to your computer. And for $100 it's worth every penny.

[Hal-9000]

chain of events/laziness always screws me up :lol:

Ok....I've just installed the world of software on my old drive.

I want to install a SSD as the main drive, so into the BIOS I go, do some fiddling, physically attach the drive and move my other drive as a slave or drive 2.

When I go to boot after this, won't the PC need an OS to mount? So it must use windows on drive 2 (my old drive) and then somehow I can migrate the OS and programs onto the new SSD drive?

Wouldn't that make two identical OS's and the next time I boot my PC will blow up? :lol:

[Pony]

I didn't go into the bios at all. Installed the software, cloned the drive, shut down the comp, pulled the HDD out. On reboot it reassigned the SSD as "C"

If you wait a minute I'll throw the HDD back in. It should auto assign it as "F". If not I'll plug it into my dock on the other computer and either format it or take all the windows folders and put them in a folder named "old OS".
Thats what I did with the old laptop and it made it super easy to pull the SSD out and go back to the HDD.

[Pony]

Nope, didn't work. I think the dual recovery partitions are fucking with one another. I'll have to format the HDD before plugging it back in.

Be back later.

:thumbsup:

Yeah I can use the software to clone the entire drive to a....external hard drive?....then install the new hardware, migrate the cloned info to the new drive and then windows should allow me to format the old drive, as the new SSD should report as primary C with the OS on it....

You're cloning to an external and then back to the new internal? Should work if you have a spare external to sacrifice. The software needs a raw drive and will erase all files and partitions currently on the drive. I'll have to look again but the software might be specific to Toshiba drives...

...
* Note: This version of NTI Echo 3 is designed to work with Toshiba SSD drives only. Other manufactures drives are not supported in this version.

Yep, It looks like it will clone back to the HDD though, I'll see if I can find a scrap external around somewhere and try and clone the SSD back to an external as a backup.

I did have some hair pulling issues though with the laptop. I made the mistake of putting the new SSD in the primary bay and the HDD in the secondary before cloning. Somehow the software/my laptop switched primary and secondary during the process?? HDD/SSD bay 2 is now primary and the computer will not boot with two hard drives installed even if one is bare. single drive works in either bay. :hmm: And the HDD (also a Toshiba) was not being recognized and showing as offline because of a "signature collision with another disk" Did the software copy the "signature" of the hard drive as well to the SSD??? I forced it online which seems to have changed the signature, working for now but I might get a new bigger internal HDD to put in there and put the current drive in an enclosure or use it for a permanent backup.

[Hal-9000]

It's pretty easy, i did it last week. Used a program called Macrium Reflect, just popped the formatted SSD into my dock and it cloned from the internal HDD to the SSD in less than a half hour. Put the SSD into my tower and pulled the HDD, worked perfectly :)

Last day of hitch, and it's shaping up to he a doozy. Got called out at 3am this morning. Got it all fixed about a hour ago, just monitoring now, and hope to head to Odessa in a bit. Have a lot to do today to get ready to go home tomorrow.

[FBD]

dang, kev!

correct, pony...HDDs are the biggest bottleneck in there

[Pony]

The new SSD in put in the new laptop has improved the boot time from 40 seconds down to 8 seconds flat. Damn thing boots from full shutdown faster than some PCs wake up from sleep mode.

[Hal-9000]

I should go watch another movie :cheerlead:

[KevinD]

Well, as so often happens, plans didn't exactly work out. :lol:
Got to apartment at 8:00pm, so that's 17hrs today. Ate, showered, cleaned up apartment a bit, now washing clothes.

Yes it does. I am not getting enough sleep. My own fault... I need to get more disciplined in that regard.

My back hurts, my shoulder hurts, my knee hurts and my foot hurts......... i must be getting old :( I can put up with most but the shoulder is the last straw, it's been fucking up my darts for a couple of weeks now and seems to be getting worse instead of better :wha: Phoned the chiropractor earlier and booked an appointment for tomorrow morning, hopefully she can fix me! If not it'll be a trip to the docs.......

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Mate :hi:

Hope it's nothing serious :(

[Goofy]

Had shoulder problems since i was a kid, never really bothered me at darts before though! I tweaked something in my back about 6 weeks ago or so - maybe related, i dunno :-k There's a chiropractor in my village, my boss has used her a couple of times and said she's great so i called her this morning - got an appointment tomorrow at 11.30am :thumbsup: If it was just my back i wouldn't bother too much, can work through that......... but the shoulder effects more important things like darts :lol:

Have to go sorry, later mate :bye:

When I pinched my sciatica nerve a couple of weeks back, couldn't sleep, bend over, walk etc...first trip was to my chiropractor :thumbsup: That and some daily stretching helped me turn the corner....it was some stupid pain I tell you :lol: I was frozen in one position and everything else was firey hell

today is laundry, car stuff, reading and waiting for my dentist office to call...maybe a bikini wax if I have some time

[Goofy]

And i'm home! Getting busy again at work........ could do with the OT so i won't complain :)

Thankfully mine wasn't quite that bad! The first couple of days after i'd tweaked it i had a bit of a problem getting dressed in the morning, putting socks and boots on was a bastard :lol:

[Hal-9000]

I don't know how people live with severe back pain.....I literally looked at the boxes at work and almost started crying trying to envision how I could lift them :lol:


I deal with what I'm told is some pretty severe orofacial pain that bothers me daily to certain degrees and think that's pretty horrible...but that sciatica nerve pain almost got the blue ribbon :lol:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I had a pinched nerve in my back once, worst pain I've ever felt in my life.

[Goofy]

Yeah, back pain is a bastard :wha:

Back in ten, just finished cooking a really extravagant dinner* :tup:




















*removed pizza from the oven and put on plate

[Hal-9000]

I had a pinched nerve in my back once, worst pain I've ever felt in my life.

I've done it twice in 15 years, both times I was like the guy on TV frozen in a half bent over position.

This last time when I couldn't sleep for even 15 minutes and stayed up for 3.5 consecutive days had such a silver lining...saw the chiro guy in the morning, took another hardcore muscle relaxant and layed down with my ereader...noticed immediately that the back pain had decreased and next thing I know, it's 5:30 at night :lol: I instantly had a 5.5 hour nap and felt great after...

[Goofy]

:burp: For a £1 ASDA pizza that was actually pretty damn tasty :tup: Chilli beef flavour with some added spicy chilli sauce.......... i think my arse may enjoy it less tomorrow though :-k

Mmmmmm :homer: It's funny, i never used to like spicy food but the older i've got the hotter i like it :) There are limits though, if it's so hot that you lose your sense of taste after a couple of mouthfuls then there's no point to it imho. I love madras generally and i've had a few vindaloos that were pretty tasty but not quite ridiculously hot :lol: Never tried a phall (think thats what its called) which is about the hottest most Indian places around here cook.

Same here, I like it hot, but within reason. When it's just super hot for the sake of being super hot without flavor, then what's the point. Like when I go to BWW for wings and beer to watch a game or something, I tried their hottest sauce once and it was was just ridiculous.

http://i.imgur.com/tf5Jw3v.jpg

I'd rather have something with flavor. The 2nd from the hottest I can stand, but even that gets too hot by the time you are finished with your wings.

[Goofy]

From that list i'd probably plump for the "medium" first time 'round then go from there :thumbsup:

[Hal-9000]

the older East Indian guy eats curry morning noon and night...I asked him two things - How does your stomach take the constant abuse? :lol: and Have you ever had a solid bowel movement in your life??

he peels the paint off the walls in our work bathroom....he should put up a hazardous materials placard after he does his business in there..

the briefs have a built-in dual applicator that fires 8 ozs of water up your butt, then flushes out the used water through tube two to a handy reservoir that you can empty later

:( If it's any consolation my back and shoulder are both aching after been physically assaulted by the chiropractor :(

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Sorry to hear that mate, did it at least seem to help?

[Goofy]

I think so, after she'd tweaked my shoulder she got me to throw some "air darts" and i felt no pain :lol: She did say it would probably be a bit painful/tender later though! Got instructions to ice it, on for 10 mins then off for 15 mins....... you know how difficult it is to get a bag of frozen peas to stay in the same spot on your back/shoulder? :mrgreen:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Probably just as hard as it is holding a can of Coke against your face :lol:

The ibuprofen isn't even working anymore :(

[Goofy]

Last time i had bad tooth ache the only thing that eased it off was swirling whisky around the area in my mouth.......... probably not a good idea to do that at work though :lol:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I'm just counting down until I get to the dentist....seems like it's still forever away.

[Hal-9000]

try having a 10mm gap between teeth and a tooth's root that's exposed under a crown....the pain starts on/in between two teeth and goes right up to the top of my head :(

as long as I don't eat, drink, sleep or open and close my mouth...it's all good

I may try whiskey starting NOW :lol:

Goof sometimes injuries like heat rather than ice..

ice = constricts blood vessels

heat = encourages blood flow


I'm sure the person you saw knows better than me....but if you're not swollen, ice may not help

[Hal-9000]

and Lance

extra strength Advil gel caps will cut some of that tooth pain, maybe better than ibuprofen

I tried Aleve last night and nothing....didn't try Advil, but isn't ibuprofen the active ingredient in Advil? :-k

I never thought I would actually be looking forward to going to the dentist :|

It's #1 on my 'homework' list she gave me:

1). Use ice for acute recent injuries even if you think it is a muscle problem. Number one treatment is to deal with the inflammatory process.

Buy the extra strength Advil gel caps...they look like cod liver oil pills...golden/clear little footballs

not sure what's in them but I've tried almost every over the counter medication so they both may contain the same stuff, but one will work :)

even if you get this latest round of tooth pain sorted, they're good for normal headaches or minor sinus pain


I don't endorse many over the counter pain relievers :thumbsup:
