early testing shows wow this thing still works from a cd try me load.  and better than the full on load that’s crashing.  so there is hope for this to be repairable by flinging out the old os.  asus k501 laptop that is. with nowingly failing sound card as in it wont switch to headphones only from speakers when headphones are inserted.  as this is a motherboard inclusive thing it’s not really repairable it’s a new machine type thing.  but  it can run better than two minutes a page load and 10 pages maybe before crash

I thus Ill get the os of my choosing likely a different linux flavor this time that may forever simply just run the machine I know that means slower startup but this only needs to internet appliance lite office project.   nothing fancy I’m not feeling fancy.

- thus I can order my part for the old desktop which is an old dell optiplex e521 that for a short time had 4.8 gb memory til the powersupply went and torched half of that and perhaps overheated the processor as it was real real pokey before it turned off never to turn on again… no illusions here it’s worth a shot to see if it can run as it has at half speed a speedier way of editing pictures than this laptop it cant technically beat.  and a crapton of disney movies and anime that i can not replace easily or at all.  yes expensive try at 40 ish to see if it can work when a 20 drive caddy would solve the old files stuck there problem.  but again if it can work why not have two machines for less that the price of one new to me refurbished?

 

there is no garuntees in electronic fiddling but two internet capable machines the desktop being in my basement meaning if it works again it is online capable and a tv card away from cable television for the while one does one’s washing.

all for less than a newly refurbished machine . 

 

asus k501 parts:

a dvd blank forrunning a new os installation 2 bucks maybe.

any store  including walmart.

IF

this part, a power supply at 310 watts glug glug the electricity revitaiizes a functional computer  even if this is NOT the part broke I know it was seriously failing prior to the machine not working.

repair summary

http://www.ehow.com/how_5846126_replace-power-supply-dell-optiplex.html

15 plus shipping

at roughly 8 bucks shipping  for 3 parts not 2 or 24 bucks plus 2 in blank media to get a neew os onto the machines, plus a tv card and remote!  and powersupply I’m looking at ~65 bucks a newly refurbished machine is 100 typically.  cuss me the try! two drive caddies would cost about 35 plus tax one for the old 5.25 half height of a desktop and the 2.5 size for a laptoptop thus gambling that I get more this way for 2 machines maybe to work and thus a year of safe cheap interneting or halving to swap parts buy cables and crap and having to recycle the old shit. a small cost but an annoying trip.

-

question is, would you gamble 2:1 it can work buying a newly refurbished machine if you lose?  this assumes you aren’t scared of twiddling a screwdriver which I’m not overly,  and all best diagnosises lead one to this conclusion?

the upshot is that this gives me a pvr the only asshole in the house that can record television .  drawback is i both failu I’m out that and a month of easy computing.  oh well spring is coming even a walk wouldnt kill me

awww I still have annoying delays getting here and there yay it’s all pearshaped here in my puter land fat and slow… I swear it’s 2 things fighting at the same time or more properly one thing that should be working isn’t and it is gumming up the works.

 

Thank You @happierHeathen and @Jasonwl for your crying Debian when I’d literally and am actually more in the mood for drinking. 

 

I’m not THAT bright not for lack of possibility but actuallity.  I still have the pop it in and it works thank gooodness method to solving computer issue.  yes, of course, duh, I actuall know the component names and some fancier technobabble…please.  I am not that out of the loop.  BUT, i like any USER am a USER not a developer not a TINKERER.

 

my problem is as i suspected i failed in one detail when this laptop came to me. to make sure i flashed the bios to allow it to run a card reader/ usb drive versus just a cd/dvd or hard drive.  I have limited as in 2 minute each page most of the time grey outs between each process and have limited patient forcing the borrowable windows as in not my computer access to any replacing drive and no blank cdr’s or dvds to write  i have sd chips one enough to make it work from such but lo and behold oh miracles of who cherry bombed my toilets?  no media to write to and for a short spell not enough to just go sort that out.

therefor all the proponents of this or that free online distro fail for lack of writeable blank cd/dvd.

 

in layman’s terms,  I don’t have the right thingybobs.  the metaphoric radioshack is closed.

 

friday cometh. never ye fear.  I’ll sort out this then or roll back to the disc I have a generation behind.  all 12 hours of it behind…that is to say providing the crusty hand cream the dog puked into the ethernet port still works.

 

with any luck I will be online more freely in no time.

 

-

I like the look of gentoo linux @lakakalo is to blame for this and it is slim enough to run…one flashing the bios happens… please do not bother with the step by step terminal instruction I literally do not understand dos /unix command line any longer it’s been ten years nearly since I tossed my sstill then workable but broke toshiba dos machine  it’s the same http:// gobbly fuckall smear as url are to most people here.  but i thank you . i just know i have to pare down the waste..this need only be an internet appliance with lite document viewing and media playings….disc runnable  which I’ll sort out friday ish.

 

but never let is be said I don’t think of you kindly people and appreciate sometimes the too ctechnical for misspelling pudding brained savager of facts hey I read what I know from more than two liar assholes so cut me a tiny bit of scholarly discredit   whatever you feel you can say between laughing your ass off that it isn’t you thank whichever diety or circumstance of your preference that it’s me not you.

 

now back to hi powered lager to be followed by champagne of lagers filched tippings….and the theif of baddad, 1924 douglas fairbanks… why?  but you should know this!

http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/The_Thief_of_Bagdad/1038566?locale=en-US

for those of you whom subscribe to netflix in the usa it is available here now. search “thief”

it’s bullshit laden too which is just perfect for my mood  so full of shit you have to laugh…and technically at least the movie didn’t say a word… which is far ahead of this computer which said lots of shit…bastard..but it can’t be all bad because some of you who can help try to so thank you.

* that’s daddy douglas fairbanks by the way

denver area stage history has him performing at? elitchgardens… yes a stupid teen job made it good for a holly hero of yeasteryears.

 

I’m still mad at my computer though

 

 

will be spotty. my puter is not booting.  friday 28 night for some replacement actions seen./talked about.

 

last evening was a visit from mr visiting chef cooking in my kitchen   Even dog tired on my feet hadn’t slept all day I was keen to help.    I do not know how these things were named but indian tacos it was.

this is lifted from the internet – the pic

perhaps you’d think it exciting when someone does up a dust of flour on your counter.

indian taco were ground meat browned beans cheese lettuce tomotoes sour cream if desired.  and of course fried dough as the base bread of the thing. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frybread

not one to leave it alone the above address in computer geek is to wikipedia which is great for getting started much of anything.  caution, it still can be edited and thus is considered less than scholarly but it’s grand to have people fling a little chatter at you about the REAL truth as they know.

real truth is used loosely like how momma cass passed away…because she was a big girl it had to be a spectacular farse of her choking to death on a ham sandwich because such is the last slam and I do think it was aspiration  but you know, some days I onlynow what isn’t true.  or dwayne allman is a snitch and snitches live in ditches which is of course ‘WH8Y the band still will or has played with him after this snitchin to save his bacon….popular culture has it very convincingly that they have the facts yet I read just as plausibly that the guys simply read the trial trascript and decided from evidence that dwayne wasn’t a bad guy you cant trust when you live a bad boy life.  so is it plausible to you that beginning with indian crushing usa activities that the government supplied crap substitute for the buffalo, frybread came about around the beginning of the reservations. 

 

thus you just heard me jumping up and down excited to what some might credibly say is poor food from the enemy.  I celebrate hopefully not the spirit of what was lost but the spirit of human ingenuity to make a fine meal mmmmm    am I allowed that bit of pretentiousness or because I’m honky and til a second ago or so am just a know nothing honky about as culturally sophisticated as a baby leaving a jewel in the tub?  you decide.

to top off my larders I obtained beer of the slop and foam variety as I willmake it to my next month with? change of the folding variety but still above zero   Ihave a potential job doing what I volunteer to do but upon a paying scale perhaps in may or sooner side work in may too.  and still this notion to hit the kitchen bricked I wish sjoys of short order improovement. 

 

what topped off my thing on old  bs is this.  I watched a little Eagles upon request to capture the anwe of the line “I lost ten points by being at the right place at exactly the wrong time.”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgAYePzb9yQ

nothing is more irking than the comments of oh the band was cool when….  as if these superfans knew it all and we’ve only the popular shades of the shit leftover.  fucky you fo hogging the rock and roll asshole….. and yes I just cussed but it conveys the emotions well.  some things are just awaiting their middle finger.  this attitude that fatty dies eating a ham sandwich…disrespect…or rock’n'roller gets indicted by the feds because someone in the entourage was selling illicit substances…the stuff of rock and roll…  well tell the truth and the truth shall set you free dwayne allman did play again and momma cass was a success in her own right and the eagles enjoyed success before and after personnel changes.  I learn of frybread after the same government entity that wiped out indian of the native american type now wishes to remember if they can find it the sand creek massacre national historic site…  a taste of what came of the west being lost.of times moving on.  will it be as it once was?  no but there is joy still to come.

simple double boiler method testable to hold food at 140F  so as to quick serve sausage link/patty  I already microwave extra crisp bacon you cant get any better out of a pan  similar is possible for noon traditional sausages for breakfast.

all that remains for me to ask is how to approach itallian sausage which traditionally see as ground patty to make certain it’s times are within my initial range of 5- minutes which is self imposed but calculated to have me succeed as potential cook…. serving the slabs of MEAT

(duh of course can it hold x hours the refrigerate make a second day, too)

-

next is

hashbrowns / scattered potato prep/hold

including sub detail hash as in corned beef leftover type 

 

egg not just duh fried covered/scramble I know that crap but better timing technique to cook 1-10 within my equipment limitation/time

this exercise isn’t at all to teach me to cook but reproductively efficient

 

then pancake waffle crepes land

 

then hot cold cereal/sub point baked goods

-

in short potato pancakes with bacon applesauce to steak and eggs country skillet potato and omellete tomuffin with alacarte ham slice & fruit cup, oatmeal with goodies topork medalin onion and apple stuffed crepes  in short the known with room for the unknown american breakfast – yes this includes edible grits (how the hell can that happen I do not know but some folk like grits)

 

with prep and a lesson test in scratch start in case of proceedural failure, I’m consider 6 weeks practice under a graduate of culinary school and years experienced denny’s type breakfast cook to have successful commercial proceedure timing to?

duh- I might want to get past a shyness away from breakfast cooking….lol no I’m considering work this is naught more than tested skiills over time 30 days ish plus procurement scratch runs to obtain skills yes but more so a reliable reference – its typically expected one knows how already in life

(to my mind this gets close enough to the idea where there is an almost shaped scene shrowded within the scene…look lower right third and imagine if thats a a lil hump of a cay with  a few trees peeking o’er the hill… or smake spot open your eye s and see  the darker spot of that “island” and this become one of her majesty’s sships emerging from battle proud with a huge cross in your face.  or perhaps you see an old time submarine  leaving the fjords….)

yes, london fruit and herb ‘s peach paradise, yogi peach detox which I tend to detest on it own, and vanilla spice ..all blended and coffee potted with filer and voila I arrive to fragrances almost like my first cup of mandarin orange spice tea.  I am minus ice to test my theory of if it’s good iced but that’s what it reminds me of.  plus I’m not wating tea.     one more thing to court with

By the flicker of lounge light

Imagine, as in you must, the IDEA of  time shared pursuing each other.  This means balancing my desire to display Alexander Dumas’ Secret Corsican Cave of wonders to my pal…and hers telling me not to stop shaking the marbles so much as the kaleidoscope of light across them through my ears is  best viewed all calm.  So, Imagine if you will and you must, seeing this scene of realistic special.  one may see it as they might as an ordinary night in, or high poetry to dance across the annals of times.

Candle-Vision flickers of the murder of crows glow.  Yes, The television is candle’s flicker.  A murder is involved too – @doahsdeer hopefully should be pleased. The subject is dark deep secrets of dark birds.  oh the gleams of my eyes seem to sing that naughty lyric about watching nature’s animals on TV next to someone who should be the entertainment   How did it go? – adult, let’s go at it like they do on animal-filled planet?   ….That’s not quite right but perhaps you get the allusion.  We know our couches, thee lounge scenes.  Mine is dusty sage-like green with a bit too much fuzzies pill-ing off the cushions.  The wooden floors are a deeper amber set of wooden tones.  there is an African mask/totem above a decrepit but paid for tube type television with a few resuscitating wires and gizmo boxes keeping it still alive.  there isn’t too much dust about but you can remember the 80′s style of plastic that required cotton buds to adequately clean and such effort is often beyond me.  there is a green plastic hand that almost fits the decor.   angled in the corner TV side is a grand wood-burning stove that looks less than sleek as if Blacky just got caught coughing.  A bit of colourful litter that delights me or will again – the pasteboard boxes of soda-pop or other can type beverages and those tubes otherwise a waste as I have no rabbit or gerbils to make use of them await their last use which is to light my fire.  burn romance, burn.

Dinner is to delight.  With the fancy hand removed, I have but only a few aces.  Ordinary fish filets breaded,  tortillas soft and warm and garnishes simple; fabulous fish tacos. Culinary fare light enough to get into or nibble. To quench one’s thirst is  of gems and jewels available at the wee hours of the tale’s construction….no bar or booze shack open and me fresh out of champagne   jewel tones colors sparkling and bubbly are but a fruit juice and seltzer away.  and a damn ass long trip to the store!    able to leap tall buildings in a single bound is what was said of a steel like comic man…. I can but run a damn bubble bath and light a candle!  (Who is to say I’m not so far away from super?)  ((shut up.))  I would like strawberries and champagne perhaps some chocolates too and all of it for but some change.  Egg roll wrappers cut in half upon a baking tray sugared lightly will crisp  to a sweet wafer in an oven if one is careful! not to burn them.  Frozen strawberries are likely all that really is any good or shall we say the least worst evil going.  Whipped cream perhaps regular, light, or maybe flavored again in some combination of strength of fat content boldly lathers across the wafer awaiting berries thus again layered and perhaps drizzled with chocolate sauce some to become a cheater’s Napoleon.  

a movie and a bath somewhere in some dinner.  tastey but pretty damn ordinary dinner.

or

The high poetry of creating love where it can be allowed to sparkle it’s glowing joys.

 

Play that magic card of romance!  Come on along with me for a walk about the dawn.

 

…so I may perhaps spontaneously haiku

previous to this is – it’s a CROCK – a blog upon  china of the pottery of doomed vessels and vd the usual joke about valentines day  for it being venerial disease an olden time monikor of std’s which will be something else soon enough in my lifetime…and a recipe  for courting VD in a romantic fish dinner I entirely failed to catch a poetic muse  to turn into epic poetry.  I still can not do that and I even in a round about indirect way got told blunt I don’t need to be the same guy every other guy is…seedily aiming for her shorts… you know to impress the already impressed to try to be special…talk about wounded depressions all night – huge fit, cussity cuss every other guy in the world gets to control being mildly special on occassion and succeeds at it and I’m told not to bother meaning I’m some kind of pity doting boy…cuss cuss cuss cuss.

well I still am stuck in a laughable loop knowing better that I do not have to die trying to be the same as everyone else… but have you ever cussedly wanted to offer something?

 

so all right in that vein opened up in the most relaxing greek hot tubbing ever…permantly like…    here’s the muse.  to be somewhere new do something novel, and elicit a smile. 

 

I hint rather than write a tale of “us” about every safe enough land to see.

been there done that farted in the dirt yurt.

I’ve dreamt up the chasesings of formal wares across many times patterns and continents

in the end it’s chipped fisbees

I dreamt of the sandbuit atreus upon the new world sands

it doesn’t take  engineering school twhich I failed to realize if it cant support a jeep on the roof it’s likely unsafe

I dreamt of the best damn lentil enchiladas I could muster, so I dream of foods

Idid forget to call that mexican lady for her storied methodology and I bought tvp…neon fish food. um um

you would think it’s easy to concoct but it’s not never a muse when you want one

cussedly these chances to listen

Black Bean and Lentil Sambar With Grilled Pita

posted by Bonita @ 9:00 AM

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

it would appear Turkey seduces  with a nod to India

 

well so I don’t forget my train of muse- the idea  that went over like a lead balloon  how appropos I spent a long time looking up the hindenburg…

well tamarind lentils is the idea that got me to the above pom wonder perhaps version above.  it’s still not an enchilada but um this is practically a recipe for not lentil but tamale filling not mexican but indian… um I like tamales and thus you see?

 

poetry became sidetracked
 by prose

muse got hijacke by want of

listen up chump

 

and ?

 

I will lentil yet still.  I may even try my hand at a poem for valentines day

I care or at least careen.

 

such is tevzi, fsih with pomegranate sauce and eggplant slices.

-

pomegranates are an internal seed fruit thing which is a ….fractal or pattern to be beautiful in execution or full fruit

such is turned into a sauce  with onion cumin and coriander etc  obviously the picture above saves a few pomegranate seeds aside for presentation too.

pomegranate is part of the super foods as in high in orac value or antioxidant power.  

 

fish, there are plenty of fish in the see so start singing the beautiful south’s song for whoever  but there’s something kinda fun in hooking a  grand  meal.

fish are high often in omega 3 and other numbers fatty acids which are great for brain health

oh oh the ones that got away- the horrible lies that grow faster than pinnochios nose about the value of what slipped through our clutches.  I mean epic BITCH

 

eggplant I’ve never heard it refered to as anything but eggplant but long and purple this kind

a source of vitaine k and manganese which are good for blood clotting factor and manganese for bone health and also insulin sensitivity

spongey it is it like many foods while alone bitter is great for taking on the flavors around it.

 

as such are the main ingredients here are the supporting characters you know some spice is nice.

http://www.recipe4living.com/recipes/tevzi_poached_fish_with_pomegranate_sauce.htm

butter ah, it’s cream that got whipped up way beyond a lather it’s butter mmm

onion, sweet or to the point of crying  ah sweet tears

coriander aka chinese parsley/cinlantro is good for detoxifying  or at least staying healthier in a world where we’re exposed more often to toxic pollutants like oh mercury and lead.

basil again sweet

 

now take all of that and letts get pretty

I think paper hearts of parchment which is a similar thing of taking paper and dosing it into the with the stuff that makes you cry in onions…sulphuric acid.     this means it stays that way through most cooking temperatures .. but who can resist a heart on valentines day?

choose now if you want eggplant inside all mushy or grilled/sauteed outside hint add if desired later but later ahh who hasn’t had to work preheat the oven and cheff said 6-7 minute lol perhaps allow ten. 

another way

now what am I after here  melding  the idea of paper heart cuisine  with the super woo woo food as remember if you use a wicked pomegranate now lol you can bump up the wine… perhaps cruise over to meade or  vodka martinis. 

 

or, if you need to skip alcohol as you appreciate the style of trying to get yours sober, perhaps you’ll appreciate pomegranate tea brewed into seven up… fizzy and pretty.

 

oh and the heart shape it’s actually two hearts after a tasty meal

the special is on the inside

any further lies requireD?

 

 

 

I bristled with my cheep heart at the cost of our first window shopping.  the high class titanic dining ware as of course reproduced…. don’t squabble about it too hard, I’ve walked into that shop here and there in my day this type of purchase if cared for is a treasure worth passing to a grandchild as heirloom

Titanic Pottery

don’t feel bad if the occasional dinner party fails…we all know the real maiden voyage went down too! 

~1900 for an 12 setting six pieces set.  you’re thanksgivings can go down every year!

 

does this look like a 1935 dining room to you?  not to me but it does remind me of the shapes I saw in my middle school.   hiddenburg 1z-129  the standard drink was? gin and juice just like snoop dog rapped.    sorry no reproduction table service found

 

anyone for a coffee?
