Some motherboards still don't come with an adapter for front panel pins, so those can suck. They're easy, just so, so tiny.

Aphrodite posted:Some motherboards still don't come with an adapter for front panel pins, so those can suck. Oh yeah, I forgot about that, yeah, that's lovely. I think my case came with the adapter this last go around, but I don't recall. Actually I think it was the wrong adapter, like the mobo didn't have all the pins the case had connections for or it was in a weird order. I'd lump all that in with cable management in my last post though, that and like positioning drives and getting them connected in an optimal way, routing other cables like for front USB 3.0 ports around other poo poo in cramped spots. The majority of all that is stuff that's hard but you generally know what to do. Getting a Fractal Design case tends to alleviate a lot of it, but for instance the power supply I got, while being a great one otherwise, made it a bit difficult when connecting all the drives since the dumb optical drive was all the way at the opposite end of the case and the cord I thought was 4 satas was 3 and ended with a 4-pin. Pretty sure I found an adapter I had lying around later, but the case had already been reconfigured and I wasn't getting that 30 minutes back anyway.

My new coworker. She's nice, she seems to be picking up the work fast (we've run through like 6 people since my other coworker left and only one has stuck so far) but she annoys me. She chews/smacks gum or mints loudly at my desk. She can't just listen to someone talk/tell a story, if she's in the room it's a constant stream of "oh wow" and "really?" coming from wherever she is. But the worst, if I'm in the bathroom and she happens to come in/be in the bathroom at the same time she wants to have a conversation! I have ignored her and she keeps saying my name until I acknowledge her. I try and give "uh huh" answers but seriously, let me poo poo in peace!

There's a goddamn adorable black cat outside my door and I can't let him in  He has a collar, I know who he belongs to, but it is wet and rainy outside kitty why are you outsideActual FWP: That half paycheck I got?

Netflix is better for a hangover, since it's easier to fall asleep to. I just finished moving the last box to my new place, and gently caress I own a lot more things than I thought I did.

I just had a job interview for a Helpdesk position. With me having just graduated from college this year with no prior IT work experience, every question I've asked regarding experience I just answered with something I did while I was at school and during my free time. Having no work experience suuuuucks

Thwack! posted:I just had a job interview for a Helpdesk position. With me having just graduated from college this year with no prior IT work experience, every question I've asked regarding experience I just answered with something I did while I was at school and during my free time. I worked at the help desk at school, which got me experience...but then I graduated in 2009, so experience didn't really matter for poo poo. For the first year and a half almost every single place I looked wanted at least 3~5 years experience. I eventually got a job through a thread in SH/SC. The lesson here is to network like crazy, find a job through a friend or maybe a goon with a heart of gold and go from there. Yesterday I hurt my leg, so in the interest of staying off of it I watched movies most of the day. I ended up watching 3 movies I had already watched but it took me like 15~20 minutes to realize I had seen them already and then I just kept watching them instead of switching to something new. I got upset about wasting time while wasting time essentially. I also got drunk and ate most of the snacks, but I don't need to go to the store for stuff for at least another 3 days. Oh, I forgot about this, like a week or two ago I ordered a cat5 crimper off of Amazon but the stupid post office didn't deliver it, so I told amazon, they refunded it, told me to order another with next day shipping and to give them the order number so they could refund the shipping. I did all that and they refunded the whole thing instead, so I ended up with a free crimper. Thing is in the middle of all this I borrowed one to get the project done, so now I have this tool I don't necessarily need, that I got for free, and I feel bad about it.

I need to get a bale of straw to help our tortoises winter over, but I have to take my mom's van for it, and I hate driving her car. I'm taking my kitten Bug in to get spayed this Wednesday and I am insanely paranoid she won't come out of it for some reason. I found these awesome plastic piranha skeletons at Target, in their Halloween section, and can't find any more anywhere.

Excel (at least excel 2003, the one I use) only allows for a maximum of 256 columns. Rows can be any number, columns are limited to 256  The client whose office I'm working at today has blocked Facebook on their network, so if I want to check my status during a coffee or lunch break I have to use my cellphone and get off their WiFi.

Of course, as expected, I forgot to buy some stuff at IKEA so I have to go back. I solved my fwp of nothing to listen to in the car by downloading Pandora, but the free version has ads and the sound quality sucks. Haven't tried Spotify yet because I don't drive that often, so I don't know how well that will work.

I don't understand... the new computer will recognize my wireless keyboard in BIOS but it won't let me use it to actually install Windows... Why  so much hand wringing and nervousness about building my first computer all on my own, and my stumbling block is not keeping a serial keyboard on hand.

It might work if you use a USB 2.0 port, depending on the version of windows you're installing, although I thought that stopped being "a thing".
