I fix PC's for a living...so I set up a wireless network with 64bit encryption, then fixed a broken desktop (Bad Ram, and a virus to boot)

Then I came home and played Supreme Commander with my roommate. :)
I dont do that for a living yet, but have been hired by a few people to set up their networks. Had to setup a persons network for the second time because her son keeps changing settings. Took me an hour just to undo the mess he had created.

Well, gee, that's positive.

I don't get why hurting people would be a point of pride though.

Well, I've seen a few of the "popular" people really take a nose-dive since HS. My mom ran into one who was in rehab for meth. It's not really that I'm happy to see them fall, it's more that I'm happy to see the things they depended on fail them.

I was having a discussion on how over clocking a cell phone effects battery life today. We were having a discussion on how to cool it since a fan wouldn't fit. We did determine that you could probably squeeze a peltair cooler, but at further expense to battery life. I guess there is no room for heat sincs on a peltair cooler, so we abondened the idea. This weekend I plan on taking a bluetooth headset apart, and putting it in a actual phone headset, like one for your home phone. Then I can put the base phone on my desk, with the phone headset on it, and when my cell phone rings, I can pick up that headset.

Just like this, but homebrewed
