surf the web on a beautiful big screen HDTV (buy it from Woot!)

, ,

Git yer self over to woot
and forget Opera's Nokia 770 Competition; Console yourself with
a bigger, badder, 61"x 40" browser!
that's 5 feet wide by almost 4 feet tall of screen!

Don't bother spending the next 3 days
photoshopping or making a video to send to Opera.
Besides, the Nokia may be free, but what about the
service contract! That's gotta be expensive!

January 12, 2006, Infocus HDTV on sale for $2500
(and that's so inexpensive, for what you get, it's amazing)

Did you ever secretly want to surf the
web on a big-assssss screen HDTV?
Now you can!

This InFocus HDTV has all the trimmings, including web surfing
with NO fiddling: just hook HER up to your router and
you're good to go!

I don't work for Woot. I just got the TV, and I'm happy with it.
and the fact that it took only 6 days to receive it
after I placed my order! Now, that's service!

What? no time to woot? get the woot daily feed delivered to
your gmail account's web clips (or ... cough... your yahoo email)

Linux is your friend... when windows won't boot!

, ,

Did you know that Linux is a friend to Windows, especially when
you need to troubleshoot or fix a file that is preventing
Windows from booting up?

I found this out today, the hard way.
I changed a file in my system32 directory (bad, bad: NEVER do this, but I'm bad)
rebooted (oooh .... stooopid... talk about over confident)
and got... nothing!

windows xp wouldn't boot! so I thought, oh, okay, just do a system reboot,
last good boot... that didn't work either...
so I rifled through my xp boot disks, found the right one
and booted to my xp CD and decided to use the 'recover' option
and was stopped cold by a password request...
long ago I forgot my administrator password
(most xp home users only have one account and that was ME)
I tend to do things in a simple fashion....

okay, so what to do?
I could reinstall windows over my working version
not a good idea, in my book.

I went to Digg (the place for the best links on the internet)
and searched for password recovery
and downloaded the bootCD found at bootdisk.combootdisk.com
and used the excellent instructions at: Forgot your password?.

Long story short: I recovered completely and I'm back up
without ANY LOSS of data or my system.

I used the full CD bootdisk too. It is mostly linux,
but with menus that are easy enough to understand!

Linux saves the Windows XP day!

Do you woot?

Woot -- deal of the day! It's been around for quite awhile.
Did you know that Woot often has deals that don't expire in 1 day!
example: Buy a 61 inch HDTV! for half of what other sites sell it for !
and shipping is just $5... woot deal: 61" HDTV:raider: what a steal! if it's for real.
