hey sounds like a fun friday nite! :tup: hummm... diff and tranny oil change sounds good too. hope you guys find a nice job for your wife. :tup: ive been wanting to quit my job the last 12yrs but the company wont let me. lol

hahahaha! :tup: yah, put a $5 toll booth every 10miles. that will get rid of them.

Damn! :mad: I'm outta reps. :(

thank you, sir :tiphat: she interviewed today with a really laid back Austin firm that hopefully will pay her what she's getting paid now, if not more :tup:

i gotz u covered! :tup:

awesome! :tup: sounds like you gotz a talented wife.

Thanks Ken, I feel much better now that my Chakras are once more aligned!

:icon18:

Well considering she's got a bachelors and masters in accounting... I'd say I absolutely do. Which makes me feel a bit emasculated when I remember that I don't even have a college degree. At least I get paid like I do :tup: ... I certainly don't see any need to go back at this point in my career.

Yup, I feel ya on that one Jar. No degree here either, but I make pretty good money thanks to years and years of experience. My wife has two degrees as well. :)

That's kind of personal, isn't it? :icon17:

I'm with you. I drive on the 80mph one daily and some people just scare me.

I wish that were true. I don't know about you but I see lots of scary stuff on 45/130.

I'd love to take my Z on the Autobahn. :)

This map depicts all the German Autobahns! :tup:

It's definitely working out for me. I certainly wouldn't have the experience I have without dropping out of school to start working full time.

Speaking of experience... would you mind lending a bit of yours if its relevant to this issue? I've got a computer here at the office that is hard crashing every night. It works fine during the day, then overnight it crashes and has to be hard reset. The power settings are set to always on (no sleep, no hibernate, only monitor and HDs shut off). I have plugged it directly into the router with no other devices on the network and same crash overnight. When I unplug the network cable from the computer, however, no problems - the computer is running just fine in the morning. I think I've pretty much narrowed it down to the computer NIC, the wiring, or the router. I guess it could be a driver or other software problem, too, but the event viewer is simply useless (fatal error 10 seems to be pretty generic). Any thoughts?

Yes, but the scary people I see are driving Mercedes and Cadillacs... :stirthepot:

thank, everyone for compliments on the paint job from a few pages ago. wow, I can't keep up with this thread, moves along so fast

Yah I was going to ask if you checked your event logs. Hmm, I wonder if the one night's unplug from the network was just a fluke? I'd try that again and if it happens again.

I'm more inclined to believe its something internal to the pc tho (unless something's being pushed to it like an update). Have you check add/remove programs for any new installations/updates? :)

:wtf2:
You make it sound like he reached out and touched me in some pervy way.:icon18:

Too bad that one video I shot doesn't show more of the road. I wanted to invest in a GoPro just to record the stuff I have to avoid daily. :shakes head:

Yea, I should have added that this started happening on the previous install of Win 7 Ultimate maybe a month ago. It actually hard locked twice in one day while in use, so he asked me to do a reformat and clean install, which I just did last week. Its actually been fine several times when unplugging the ethernet cable. I'm going to take it home this weekend and see if it crashes on a different network. :shrugs:

Not a bad idea for evidence when idiots actually make contact either...

Hello Folks!!! :tiphat: :tiphat:

What a stressful day and I can finally sit down and power read all the pages... but my brain is just not-in-position today so I have no idea what's going on... just something like Mr.kenchan has put his boobs in the ignore list while Mr.happytheman got lost in a German spider web and Ms.Pintsize725 is getting appreciated on her racing-boots...

Gosh.... where's my brain... let me check my seat... am I sitting on it.......

But I won't forget....


:icon17: O.F.C.!!!!!! :icon17:

:hello: im in the same boat, i must powerread now the whole days worth of activity!

Hi all!

I think mr. alcheng provided a pretty thorough summary, frankly. I mean, I rep'd him for it :icon17:

Hey, Steve jobs didn't finish college either, and he threw Sony to the ground. :icon17:
I have a degree somewhere not sure where it went. In my line of work degrees don't mean shitt cause it's all about getting things done and 99% of it comes from experience and reading people's minds.

No, Indian woman in pos corolla scares me. One almost crashed into my G due to stupid. Wtf. :ugh2: I want to add something but it would sound too racist. :icon17:

Yah some folks just should not drive at all. :ugh2:

You may have a hardware issue. Just a guess at this point. I still wonder tho, has anything been installed or updated on it? I bet a dollar that it's going to give you trouble over the weekend (especially if it's been crashing consistently)! :)

Hahaha!! :icon17: welcome back, mr.alcheng!


Hey there, mr.zman! :hello:

I'd rep him again but a) I already did an hour ago and b) I'm outta reps! :tup:

Hey Zman and Alcheng, welcome to the discussion! Pull up a chair.
Here's some mixed nuts to snack on.

I think you're right in that it is a piece of hardware. My money is on the NIC at this point. There are some random driver things in the event logs but nothing critical and the research I've done on those particular errors don't really point to anything specific. The user is pretty computer savvy and cautious enough to ask about anything he's doing if isn't comfortable. Basically only windows updates have been installed since I did the reformat and reinstalled his necessary office software (MS Office and AutoCAD primarily). I kind of hope its the computer because it should be cheaper than replacing our network gear (although we're probably going to upgrade to a WatchGuard router here in the next few months anyway).

awesome post :tup:

and that's a delicious looking margarita :yum:

Thank you Mr.JARblue... at least I found my brain is still functioning ok...... :tiphat:


Last time I threw an iphone on the ground, does that count too??? :confused: :bowrofl: :bowrofl:

Indian woman.... yup... most of the time... :icon17:

Some people just like driving in their own 4th-Dimension while they are behind the wheels.... :inoutroflpuke:

:bowrofl: :happydance:

mixed nuts and alcohol..... :yum: :yum:

I've never seen a Nic bomb a machine. Usually motherboard, memory, CPU or hard drive. That's just my experience tho. It sucks trying to run that stuff down tho if you don't have spare hardware. :ugh2:

Man, I shoulda gone to Zdayz..if only to meet some of the cool characters that roam these halls.

My machine at work is identical except I put an SSD primary in his machine and his video card is one model prior to mine, so that's why I said I hope it is the machine and not the network gear. Plus I can pick up anything we need for replacement at Fry's. I'd probably have to replace all of our old a$$ network gear via an online order to fix any networking problem, which considering the $$ we'd probably go ahead and rewire the building with Cat6 as well. But it just can't be a network problem because it's only this computer being affected...

Yup my thoughts exactly. I don't think it's network related. :tup:

:iagree: it was awesome meeting some forum folks at our last Z meet that I never met before, and hopefully ms. Pint and I will meet a couple more this Friday. My wife will be making her first appearance this Friday, too, despite the Z being her DD :icon17:

I wouldn't mind meeting everyone who posts in this thread. Some others, however :ugh2:

:iagree:
