    My mom is thinking of switching isp's

    Problem is, she would be switching to qwest. Both are hooked up in the house right now, and I ran some speed tests on the qwest dsl connection. I've never seen such low upload speed before. It's 32kb. And logging in to the modem shows that it's upstream rate is only 32kb under modem status. My...

    Building a Home Theater PC

    Ok a friend wants me to build a pc for him that he can use in his home theater. Blu-Ray, DVR, hdmi out functionality. I know what I'm going to need to build it, except the case. He wants it to fit into a space on an entertainment center that is only 4.5" high. The space is wide enough and...

    Got me another mac

    A friend of mine said he was getting rid of an apple II and asked if I wanted it. I said sure. So when he dropped it off at my house, I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box. It wasn't and apple II. It was a macintosh lc III. Joy :D I remember the lc II's we used in junior high. So...

    Sita Sings The Blues

    Sita Sings The Blues Another good film from the film festival. Google Video streaming link since thirteen.org's stream doesn't seem to work. Edit: Best to download from the main site and watch if interested. The google video version is of very low quality.

    Alan Abel

    I just saw the documentary on him at the Fargo Film Festival, and met him too. He was there to accept the award for his daughter. A professional hoaxer and prankster. :D I remember hearing about the Euthanasia Cruises on the news back in the 90's. :lol: Website for the documentary Alan Abel's...

    Stickers

    I was thinking about getting some stickers for my laptop. Been scouring the web for ideas but haven't really come up with anything yet. If it's going to be permanent, I want it to be "me". So anyway. How many of you put stickers on their computers and laptops? Got pics? I'll post mine when...

    Did he get banned? Or did he just get bored with us already?

    So sue me

    I know it's not even thanksgiving yet. But I figured if I didn't put up my xmas-y avatar now, I'd forget until after the fact. :D Edit: Or rather, after Christmas

    So I'm working at a Haunted School...

    for the Halloween season. And I gotta say it's pretty fun. I've never gone through a haunted house/school/graveyard/etc. as a guest. Just worked a few. I think it's more fun trying to scare people than being the one walking through hoping someone can scare me. This a pretty nice set up too...

    Web Browsers

    I just wanted to know what your thoughts on them were. Which ones have you tried? Which ones do you like? Which ones do you hate? ...How many are there? I have 4 installed on my computer right now. The ever present IE Firefox, my standby Google Chrome, my new favorite Safari...

    Emachines Monitor Lifespan

    So... is 2 1/2 years good? My mom bought this emachines computer from walmart a little over 2 years ago. I have since upgraded the heck out of it. It runs good, pretty reliable. This morning however, her monitor started acting funny. The screen had crazy distortion, like the vertical hold...

    So I upgraded my webserver...

    No hardware stuff. Just the os. I am now running linux with apache2. It was quite a headache at first... no wait. it's still a headache. But it works, mostly. But now that that's done, I can get on with life and stop fretting that my server was offline for so long. And maybe get back to updating...

    Maybe I should just give in

    And stop trying to run a server on a windows machine. The reason I upgraded my server from DOS to windows, is so I could use Xerver, which has support for cgi scripts and php... well, as long as I install perl and php, which I did. I was hoping I could find a webcomic script for either perl...

    Ok, so I don't have anything interesting to talk about.

    Only that I realized that I hadn't been here in quite awhile. I didn't know otc was getting so popular. I just saw 13 members and 302 guests online. Sooo... how many of those are, um, what do you call em? spiders? bots? Anyway, the reason I started this thread. Just wanted to mention I...

    Website down

    Hey guys. My webserver is down at the moment. Hardware failure, soooo... it might be a little bit before it's back up again. This is actually kind of the perfect opportunity for me though. I was planning on upgrading to a new server anyway. But then I found this site that gives free hosting, no...

    Welcome Iseult!

    Ha ha, I get to welcome her. Ain't no one welcoming my baby, before me. So, uh welcome, get ready for a barrage of "welcomes", "help yourself to pizza and beer", and relentless innuendo. :evilcool:

    Wish I wasn't poor

    Then I could help out otc. I promised, but I have no money. And even though I haven't exactly been here lately, I don't want this place to go away. :crying4:

    I don't understand this "thing"

    I don't know why my router was going funny on me. For anyone who noticed, my website was down for a long time. I kind of think it had something to do with getting xbox live. Except my router is on the compatibility list. Shortly after I got xbox live, my router stopped allowing incoming...
